Simon Vallily vs. Rolandas Cesna, 4 rounds @ cruiserweight

 

Round 1

Vallily is walking Cesna back with left jabs from the hip and long uppercuts or skewers to the body with the right. Cesna swings his arms up and down while leaning side to side as he ambles in a wide circle, trying to throw Vallily's rhythm off with his slow but chaotically undulating movements. Vallily is content to just follow and score jabs and grazing body shots for now.

10-9 Vallily

 

Round 2

Vallily is completely disrespecting Cesna's high pawed left jab, allowing it to puncture through his guard and bounce off his esophagus, not a care in the world as he presses in and trounces Cesna with overhands and uppercuts, setting everything up off his own jab. Cesna is knocked into the ropes by a straight combo and dives forward to hold. Vallily whips a jab and double uppercut into the face and stomach of Cesna as he bows forward and covers up. The ref is having a close look as Cesna gets hammered backward into the ropes.

10-9 Vallily

20-18 Vallily

 

Round 3

Vallily is sauntering in with his left glove readied out beyond his lead hip, digging in hooks on Cesna's body as he pleases and pushing him into the ropes. Cesna is hovering near the corner, not quite reversing into it but seeing his share of open ring get slivered with every short lateral pendulum sweep he makes. Vallily is leading with hooks under the elbow and building up longer and longer combinations, poking Cesna in the chest with jabs and rights off the hook. Cesna paws the jab out from his guard and gets knocked into the ropes. Errant counter left hook by Cesna tossed up high in the air, missing as he gets nailed with a 1-2 and then julienned downstairs.

10-9 Vallily

30-27 Vallily

 

Round 4

Vallily is swaying to and fro, loose in the legs, flipping jabs up into Cesna's face as he drifts near. Cesna dives in to hold and gets cuffed behind the neck with a left forearm and driven into the canvas. Cesna is up and bobbing in horseshoe movements around the ring with his guard up, gloves around his ears. 1-2s by Vallily pressing Cesna into the ropes. Hard right hand lead by Vallily and Cesna dives in behind his arms to press up against him. The ref breaks them and Cesna finally dares lead with his own lunging jab, easily slipped by Vallily.

10-9 Vallily

40-36 Vallily

 

The contest is scored by referee Jeff Hinds, 40-36 to Vallily

 

Vallily looks a sharp enough prospect technically, but he is yet to register a stoppage with his three opponents to date having been knocked out a combined 21 times. (albeit in 134 combined bouts)

He never really seemed too near getting rid of Cesna despite the huge gulf in class.

 

Matty ***an vs. Ryan McNicol, 6 rounds @ light welterweight

 

Round 1

***an is walking McNicol down with the left jab and dropping back away from the southpaw when he jabs or hooks lightly with the right. Headbutt, ***an hurt. Overhand left by McNicol; ***an down.

10-8 McNicol

 

Round 2

***an back in control with the jab, staying well outside as he stretches it out walking forward, dodging the fluttering backfoot right jab and the looping left. ***an is using good rhythm moving in and out, side to side.

10-9 ***an

19-18 McNicol

 

Round 3

***an is popping the double jab and then slicing uppercuts into either side of McNicol's body, leaning in and using his elbows to push away. McNicol is bearing down on the ball of his lead right foot and swinging the left leg in wide compass half-moons. McNicol is looking to load up a big curveball left but not finding it as ***an dances in and out.

10-9 ***an

28-28

 

Yeah. I'm not too fussed over the early knockdown. That was shades of Holt vs. Torres II, although less severe.

 

Round 4

***an is jabbing McNicol in the forehead and throwing combos with sliding half-steps forward and back, dropping his weight to dip with each step. McNicol doesn't have the range to get off with his counters, kept shy by the long jab and body shots of ***an.

10-9 ***an

38-37 ***an
