Ruslan Chagaev vs. Lucas Browne RBR

He was channeling his PBC spirit

 

Joey Vegas? is that a made up name?

 

Bullseye

 

He is a longtime journeyman, surprised you don't recognize him.

Kucher, Bivol, Cleverly and Mekhontsev all cut teeth on him early in their careers, and he was used as comeback fodder by Edison Miranda and Dmitry Sukhotsky.

He was also the only person to knock out Hany Atiyo (the best Egyptian boxer anyone has ever heard of that isn't Soliman ) - twice! - before old man RJJ came along.

That's his only remotely decent W.

 

:reggie

 

Skipping ahead to a twelve-rounder but there are still a few 6 and 4-rounders they haven't gotten to. Weird card structure.

I'm guessing Spong after this?

 

So they finally stripped the long-inactive Uzelkov of the IBO title, huh?

I know that is one story the boxing world had been holding its breath on. :!:

Umar Salamov vs. Joey Vegas, 12 rounds @ light heavyweight

 

Salamov already has much better notches in his belt in Doudou Ngumbu and even Tomas "Not That One, The Czech One" Adamek.

This should be a breeze.

 

I'm watching his record right now, and with all those names I probably have seen him once or twice at least.
Must be getting senile.

 

Vegas drawing the lead, reflexively jerking away from jabs and slapping both hands in the air to bat them down, and hoping to catch Salamov with a big counter uppercut rocketed up from the rear hip. Silly game plan. Salamov is much taller and the uppercut isn't getting within spitting distance of his chin, and Vegas is eating more jabs than he means to.

 

10-9 Salamov. Get ready for a scintillating eleven more of those. :dead

 

Eye poke?
