A little closer than the others because Cissokho was more stationary, but still wide for the Frenchman.

No more impressed by Valenzuela tonight than I was by the couple performances I saw two or three years back. His power is obviously somewhat legitimate, despite that KO ratio being stuffed with guys who apparently love getting knocked out, but he's sorely lacking in nous and creativity. He has time still in this fight, but I think his window of opportunity to win it passed with his overanxious attempts to close the show in the 4th.

And right as I say that, Cissokho looks a little bothered by a left hook in this 8th.

Valenzuela looking for the KO shot. But he's not even touching Cissokho.

 

Valenzuela's "Stand and fight, coward!" would be a lot more convincing if, you know, his face wasn't hamburger mush.

 

RVJ needs to actually punch instead of gesturing frustratedly like he expects his man to just stand still and offer his chin.

 

Cissokho has good athleticism and movement but he is always one punch away from being in trouble, regardless of whether he stays at 154 or moves down to 147 I can't see him win a title

 

Great fight I have been so caught in it watching Cissokho looking so damn good then the 4th hit....fighters like Val Jr makes you have to watch every minute of the fight

Cissokha has great skills, speed and beautiful long punches but he has got to be a little more defensive at times

 

France doesn't have great French fighters all their better fighters come out of Africa
