lol @ this being for (nominally) the "United States title" at super middle.

Can you imagine either of these goofy ass no-gas-tank-having kids against the actual domestic cream of the crop? Like either Caleb (Plant or Truax). They'd have been destroyed long before the 9th.

 

"Nobody wins this round" - word, Tompkins.

 

I guess Farhood's right, if you HAD to pick someone to give the ninth, Ellis might've gotten in a jab or two. Meh.

87-84 Ellis.

 

****, I wouldn't mind a USBA title hanging on the mantlepiece. Gimme a few weeks (and maybe a few cases of Red Bull) and I could make 168..

Round 10

Ellis juddering the right hand lead from too far out, tickling Younan's throat with it or whiffing. Younan backpedaling and pawing jabs, churning the air with them. Badly lined up combo from Younan, missing wide of either side of Ellis' body. Ellis jabbing the rib cage and looping a soft lunging right on the side of Younan's left hip. Awkward slashing combo from above by Younan, wed-noodle arms lapping against Ellis' guard before Younan parlays his failure into another tie-up. ROTTEN, ugly round. Combo from Ellis, finishing with a weak hook on the jaw.

10-9 Ellis

97-93 Ellis

 

This fight was juuuuuuust pretty enough to bang drunk (and be mortified at the idea of your friends ever finding out)
