Stuart Hall vs. Vusi Malinga & Frankie Gavin vs. Bradley Pryce RBR

Alas no. I am interested but unable to catch that one today.

 

Well I'm going to be a bit preoccupied doing the RBR for Gavin vs. Pryce here but you can follow this bloke's tweets for up-to-minute reports:

Round 1

Pryce is walking forward, slouching to his right, waving his left arm up in the air. Gavin spreads his legs wide, edges away, puts a jab out into Pryce's forehead and scythes in some long body shots. Gavin is now circling left and out, drawing Pryce in with a double jab before changing directions and closing in going in and right, keeping the jab flowing and putting Pryce on his heels. Pryce is parrying with his jab and stepping forward, leaned over to his right. Nice right hand on the nose by Gavin.

10-9 Gavin

 

Round 2

Pryce is flicking left jabs out to test the waters. Gavin smacks them down with his right palm, taking kitten swipes at them. Gavin walks Pryce into a corner, rolling his arms by his sides and shimmying on the way in, keeping Pryce guessing as to his rhythm or angle of attack. Quick right jab by Gavin. Pryce is raising his arms to squeeze his wrists together and catch Gavin's quick right jab, but a moment too late at times. 1-2 by Gavin. Pryce is circling left, covering up as Gavin tosses long right hooks at his face. Lead left by Gavin, puncturing through Pryce's guard. Pryce raises his left jab from a low lean stepping inside, and Gavin turns him and pops a stiff right jab on the nose. Body jabs by Gavin poked in from outside, coasting in either direction calmly like a porch swing in the breeze as Pryce lunges and misses with left jabs without moving his feet.

10-9 Gavin

20-18 Gavin

 

So, uh...Gavin vs. Rabchenko? :deal

 

Round 3

Pryce is coming in, twitching his shoulders a bit to shrug past Gavin's right jab but letting a few brush around his eyes. Pryce bows forward and puts his arms up as Gavin hooks with the right over the back of his neck. Low blow, accident. Pryce is leaning far over to his right and putting up left jabs. Gavin is catching them on his right forearm and then snapping right jabs into Pryce's face, having no trouble scoring from this distance while Pryce seems unable to. Pryce is reaching and missing with the left up-jab, nearly pitching forward off balance and rolling his left ankle. Wild looping right from outside by Pryce as Gavin dashes quickly around him to stay off the ropes while landing a right jab.

10-9 Gavin

30-27 Gavin

 

Copy/paste + Google Translate, amigos. :yep

 

Yeah, this is a very tidy performance, very pretty work. Not an exciting fight really, but good to watch if you actually like boxing.

 

Round 4

Pryce is stepping forward with the left jab falling short. Long hooks by Pryce, also failing to reach as Gavin expands his track and keeps landing the dart-like counter right jab while Pryce is spinning to face up. Gavin is using some upper body rotations to dance away from Pryce's jabs up top and 1-2s to the body from outside. Wide left hooks by Pryce, missing by miles.

10-9 Gavin

40-36 Gavin

 

I gathered that straight away from the 1st round tweet.

"AWESOME ROUND FOR KIKO. Not much happened, but he definitely won the round..."

(rough translation, paraphrased slightly, but still :yep)
