Ryōta Murata vs. Emanuele Felice Blandamura & Daigo Higa vs. Cristofer Rosales González RBR

Round 2

Blandamura is shuffling away to his left now, switching up his primary direction of circling from the counterclockwise of the 1st, dropping into a squat every few paces and shoveling a few underhanded blows into the belt line of Murata before dashing to one side. Murata is getting closer, ripping lefts on the liver, Blandamura countering with a high fishing-rod slapping right hand and Murata checking it on the back of his left wrist. Murata walking Blandamura down and punching through his flurries with the jab, getting a piece of his upper mandible and cheek with it, or knocking his own gloves back into his eyes.

10-9 Murata

20-18 Murata

 

Teddy is a national embarrassment.

 

Atlas has it 19-19. @CST80 is right; he gave Blandamura the first and only reluctantly gave Murata the second..

 

"That's his Sunday punch...and whaddaya know, it's SUNDAY! "

Hurhurhurhurhur, you're SO CLEVER.

 

Round 3

Blandamura is getting walked across the ring with jabs and 1-2s, lightly tapping Murata's body while leaning in from a squat popped on the outside. Murata drives a 1-2 down into the back of Blandamura's head as he ducks, and the Italian complains of a rabbit punch. Little sympathy from the ref. Time in. Blandamura is reaching in with body jabs and staying well outside. Murata is walking his man down, blocking fat hooks delivered squared-up on straight knees from Blandamura, on the goalposts, then walking forward and laying straight power shots on him.

10-9 Murata

30-27 Murata

 

Round 4

Blandamura is getting nailed with left hooks on the liver, Murata reaching as deep as he can with the punch since the challenger's trunks are hoisted so high as to dissuade him from short & straight body shots on the midsection lest he be warned or penalized for incidental low blows. Less flurries now from Blandamura as he orbits Murata, his legs slowing as well. Lots of clinching. Murata is catching jabs on his out-turned palms and just applying steady pressure, no rush.

10-9 Murata

40-36 Murata
