ShoBox: Sergey Derevyanchenko vs. Elvin Ayala & Ievgen Khytrov vs. Nick Brinson RBR

:deal

 

Round 4

Khytrov is keeping a squared up stance, feet shoulder width apart, turned 45° away from Brinson, lead foot incisive and gloves positioned correctly - in every way aesthetically looking the part of a stalking boxer-puncher ...just not doing anything effective. Brinson meanwhile is sticking to his game plan, flitting around, jabbing his way off the ropes and dropping his elbows to catch the hard spears Khytrov is chucking at his stomach.

10-9 Brinson

40-36 Brinson

 

The commentators are calling the last two rounds 'close' to soften the blow when the robbery comes. :-(

 

Khytrov has done nothing to earn a share thus far.

 

Round 5

Khytrov steps in with a jab. Brinson pulls back and counters with his own jab. Right cross in the armpit by Khytrov after throwing a light jab away past Brinson's face. Khytrov is marching in close and placing his lead toe just outside Brinson's, feeling out with the jab. Khytrov is sticking his jab in the breadbasket while leaning over to one side, head by his waist. Brinson is waltzing and weaving, using rhythmic head movement even when beyond Khytrov's range. Khytrov chases with the right hand, waving it around upon missing, swirling it just to get a bead on Brinson with light contact. High grazing jab by Khytrov. Brinson jumps in past it and taps a light uppercut on the chest, then clinches.

10-9 Khytrov

49-46 Brinson
