Sport1: Ronny Mittag vs Patrick Wójcicki & Elina Tissen vs Nina Meinke RBR.

Round 3

Meinke is holding out her right glove to hypnotize Tissen with little swirling-in-place motions liquefying her wrist and half-flicking out jab feints, then stepping to one side and throwing a real jab to score cleanly, ducking and withdrawing before Tissen can mount a counteroffensive. Meinke is anticipating Tissen's every move, adjusting her feet, countering with jabs and remaining untouched.

10-9 Meinke

30-27 Meinke

 

Round 4

Meinke is rolling her upper body to her left to dodge the right hand from Tissen, stepping in, feinting with her left before cradling it at her midriff and slicing Tissen up with short jabs. Tissen hurling overhands and falling into clinches. Meinke is using lots of directional changes, still with quicker footwork but slowing down a touch. Clubbing shots up close by Tissen, landing a couple of rabbit punches on the way into a clinch.

10-9 Meinke

40-36 Meinke

 

This is for the WIBF & Global Boxing Union featherweight titles. (7th defense of the former and 5th of the latter by Tissen)

 

Round 5

Meinke is taking a round off here, turning herself bodily away from Tissen and rushing toward each set of ropes for a buoyant ricochet to send her careening past Tissen again. Much fewer jabs from the southpaw challenger now than before. Tissen is starting to find a home for her left jab, not just spamming the right from outside, and is swatting a left hook against Meinke's right shoulder when she can reach it, maybe just tickling her jawline with it as well.

10-9 Tissen

49-46 Meinke

 

Round 6

Meinke is walked into a corner, Tissen jabbing and swatting downward with a hook off the jab. Meinke frees herself with a shoeshine downstairs. Looping right into the kidney by Tissen, landing behind the left elbow of Meinke. Solid counter 1-2 by Meinke, walking Tissen onto it by lulling her with some easygoing baby steps diagonally inside & to her right. Tissen is applying pressure, getting inside consistently but they keep tying up after Tissen lands one chopping blow. Meinke is cut by her eye..

10-9 Tissen, close

58-56 Meinke

 

Round 7

Meinke is coming unglued a bit, Tissen whacking her into the ropes with the right hand and jabbing hard into her belly at mid-range while in pursuit. Meinke doing lots of clinching and scrabbling awkwardly for purchase with clawing body shots on the inside, few of them really getting square on Tissen's flanks, mostly just skidding up into her brassiere. Tissen with no let-up.

10-9 Tissen

67-66 Meinke

 

Too bad, I was really liking the cut of Meinke's jib. (in more ways than one)

 

Round 8

Meinke is looking haggard now, blood pouring into her right eye constantly, making it hard to locate Tissen with her jab. Meinke's depth perception is wonky, uncharacteristically poor aim with the jab. Tissen is taking full advantage, walking in and slamming down right hands on the cheekbone. Stiff jabs into the cut by Tissen, ruthless. Body shots by Tissen. WILD looping right by Tissen outside, misses by a mile and spins herself 180° around.

10-9 Tissen

76-76
