Round 5 Krasniqi is letting both fists descend in rapid alternation like drumsticks on Sek, pinning him on the ropes. Sek greases his way along them into a corner and pushes out at Krasniqi with his right jab, then flurries to step momentarily free. Krasniqi is continuing to land the uppercut on the body and miss it upstairs as he telegraphs badly on the wind-up. Sek pops jabs and light lefts into the guard as Krasniqi presses forward, chopping over the top with a right. 10-9 Krasniqi 50-45 Krasniqi
Round 6 Krasniqi is throwing left hooks and chopping rights together in combinations of two now. Sek is timing him with double right jabs on the nose and southpaw 1-2s while stepping back. Sek is at perfect range to snap out the left cross, landing it very cleanly when Krasniqi steps toward him, leaving his face exposed as he drops both hands reading the uppercut. Sek is covering his own face and dipping to either side in retreat as Krasniqi advances with the hook and chop. Left uppercuts on the body by Sek as Krasniqi backs him up near the ropes. Right hook by Sek. 10-9 Sek 59-55 Krasniqi
Krasniqi is probably too dangerous. :yep Sukhotsky and Sek could be the co-feature, though, in the most exhilarating 4-rounder ever seen, shattering the Comp-U-Box records of even most championship matches. :!:
Round 7 Krasniqi is stomping out a wide circle to his right, throwing big lead rights and left hooks, lowering his punch output, throwing exclusively in twos and only when Sek is right up in his face. Sek is now the one coming forward, working the high right jabs and tickling Krasniqi's tummy with the left uppercut. Krasniqi is backing up and not working much, but does snap back the head of Sek with a big overhand right shot up from a deep-seated position. 10-9 Sek, close 68-65 Krasniqi
Haxhi should have really kept his foot on the gas pedal early and been more aggressive, he might have gotten rid of Sek and not have to be dealing with this resurgence now. Early on his right hands were hurting Sek. (who got dropped in the 1st by Woge) He may have wasted his chance. I see Krasniqi looking weaker as this wears on, and he may have to eke it out close on points as I don't see him getting a late stoppage unless Sek totally falls apart or makes a bad mistake.
Round 8 Krasniqi is standing up and keeping his arms rigidly in place in front of his face, a lightning rod for Sek's quick but low-snap right jab. Krasniqi is bowing aside when Sek clubs in with the left, getting bold. Krasniqi is only partially dodging, taking Sek's lefts on the side of his throat or the broad side of his back, or behind the ear. Very little countering from Krasniqi, lots of circling away, regrouping, defending. 10-9 Sek 77-75 Krasniqi
Round 9 Krasniqi is shying away from Sek's long right jab, tapping out a steady light rhythm on Krasniqi's upper mug. Sek waves a few right hooks, eliminating the escape route Krasniqi was seeking with a stutter-step in that direction betraying his intentions. Krasniqi is refusing to engage, just backing up across the ring, guard up, pawing a few left jabs. Sek moves in and out, busy with the jab, hurdling Krasniqi's gloves with it. 10-9 Sek 86-85 Krasniqi
Has been, markedly. Sek is on his way to an upset if he carries his momentum into the championship rounds. This next frame alone, if taken, will net him a draw on my card with two remaining and Krasniqi seeming more and more tattered and less apt to find a turnaround solution...
Round 10 Krasniqi is getting jabbed in the face and hooked on the high waistband, just below his ribs, Sek doing most of his work with the right hand. Krasniqi tries to time him with a couple of line drive right leads while sitting back, but Sek repositions, pivoting around so that his right foot is outside Krasniqi's lead toe on his left, and peppering him with right jabs and hooks on the head. Krasniqi is forced to cover, and Sek bangs him with a couple of long lefts, finding the sweet spot of his range. 10-9 Sek 95-95
