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

Meinke entered to "Shipping Up To Boston".

I have no idea wtf Tissen is walking out to. Some kind of German reggae crossed with quiet storm easy listening?

 

Nazi anthem time.

 

She can do anything she wants to me using whichever hand is more comfortable for her.

 

Tissen has certainly never been in with anybody like Taylor, including her two pro defeats.

 

IB Funfact:

They actually do use the same late-18th century tune as the NDSAP regime did in that era, but they use a different section of it. Whereas the Reich only used the first third, modern Germany has, instead of eschewing it altogether to select a new anthem, simply changed which part of the original composition they use.

 

Round 1

Tissen puts out a probing left jab. Meinke is working quick jabs darting in and out, then roaming to her left, turning her quarry after landing on her. Tissen very confused by the continuous movement & quickness, and is frozen like a deer in headlights allowing Meinke to start to land the left cross & even some left hand leads while strafing.

10-9 Meinke

 

Round 2

Meinke is staying clear of the right hand from Tissen, shuffling off and twisting her body away to slip it or make it shoot harmlessly over her arched back. Meinke is popping in counter right jabs and southpaw 1-2s on the lateral step, almost landing at will. Tissen is remaining composed and bombing away from outside with the single harpooning lead right, but can't put it on her opponent flush.

10-9 Meinke

20-18 Meinke

 

Damn, could we get a rare women's KO?

(then again, I was thinking after 5 rounds in Woj vs. Mittag that we could be headed for a KO, so you can't assume one is coming just because there's a massive gulf in class and connect percentage...)
