Stephen Smith vs. Devis Boschiero RBR

Round 4

Buckland is throwing massive uppercuts pushing forward, nearly pitching off-balance as he does, exhaling loudly in a repetitive whoop. Dodd is switching from southpaw to orthodox and kneading Buckland's skull with the 1-2 from either stance. Buckland is very sloppily putting full power on all his lead uppercuts and hooks, throwing from the outside while his legs desperately scissor to keep up with his upper half's momentum. Buckland missing a lot, but Dodd is getting knocked into the ropes and banged up some, looking a bit alarmed by the sheer relentlessness of Buckland's pressure. Uppercut, right hand, jab combo by Dodd to get free of the ropes.

10-9 Dodd

38-38

 

Round 5

Buckland is trotting in sidelong, cutting off the ring and slamming into Dodd with his left shoulder before alternating big dippers into the local favorite's sides. Dodd pushes free with a nudging jab on the brow and lines Buckland up for a few more straight punches. Buckland shaken a little. Dodd switches to southpaw and flicks a few light right jabs into Buckland's eyes. Buckland unable to get close, nearly pinning Dodd on the ropes but no cigar. Dodd runs short on room and Buckland does indeed crowd him against the ropes. Dodd leans forward, pinning his bent forearms down against Buckland's forehead and lobbing his own underhanded body shots in kind as Buckland opens up. Dodd steps free and starts to jab from range. Long right uppercut from the orthodox stance piercing Buckland in the spleen, remaining fixed outside where Buckland can't touch him back.

10-9 Dodd

48-47 Dodd

 

This is sad to watch. Buckland used to be quite a few levels above this.

 

Jim Watt has it 48-47 Dodd.

His score is the same as mine but via a different route. Jim gave Buckland the 4th and 3rd.

 

Round 6

Buckland is whipping left hooks at Dodd's trunk line from outside, missing as Dodd flits back and sprinkles in light left jabs while gliding on his toes. Buckland isn't closing the gap too well, stumbling a bit and having to pull down his tight high guard and reset every couple of paces when he finds Dodd has moved to a completely new vantage. Buckland just walks around collecting jabs on the forearms, throwing wide body shots from too far out.

10-9 Dodd

58-56 Dodd

 

"Buckland just outworked him in the sixth.."

- Jim Watt

Yes, he did, but he landed at like a 5% clip. atsch

 

Watt has it 57-57.
