SUMMER SMASH: Jackson Asiku vs. Choi Tseveenpurev RBR

:think

Keep right on with that - unless you need a fix of excess clinching. :yep

 

Round 2

Spence bulldozes in with hard curving rips to the body with either hand, thumbs to the ceiling. Catchpole slaps and grabs. This is not a magnificent blend of styles. Lots of holding and slapping across the back of the head by Catchpole. There's a lot in a name. Catchpole is indeed a beanpole, whose primary defense is to catch/clutch his opponent. :yep

Spence is no longer getting many body shots off before getting grabbed now, and is ineffective when trying to wrestle Catchpole off and exchange head slaps with him. Southpaw 1-2 below the elbows by Catchpole.

I have Catchpole just edging the rounds but not really impressing. 20-18

 

Round 3

Spence is now working his right hand up high, and finding little success with it. His shots just soar harmlessly through the air as Catchpole dances around them without even needing to move his head or keep his hands particularly high. Spence spins his fist low to even further telegraph a right uppercut already clearly proclaimed by its slowness. Spence is no longer committing to the body and is thus losing this round much more clearly, although his lukewarm pressure is still prompting anxiety in Catchpole's body language. Spence gets up close and manages a few glancing taps to the sides of the head. Catchpole takes a few smacks while trying to clinch. Catchpole abandons the inside and flees to the ropes, where Spence bowls in and leans against him.

Spence did come on stronger in that last thirty seconds. :think

 

Round 4

Spence jabs out straight and then looks to clinch himself as Catchpole spreads his flurrying hands in a wide arc to box his ears in with slaps from either side. The whole first minute is spent in a clinch. Here's a nice lead left by Catchpole, his first really solid connection. The crowd likes it. :conf Spence didn't appreciate it at all, however - and comes charging hard at Catchpole throwing lots of slow but heavy shots in his general vicinity. Catchpole decides to clinch him before one of them can land by accident.


Feed's cut.

Unless something crazy occurred in the final minute, Catchpole is en route to being 4-0 without any knockouts.

 

vs. Choi the British import, yes. :good

Good match-up. It's about ninety minutes away.

The stream is still problematic. :err

 

:deal

I'm worried, because before when it cut out they showed the placeholder image of Choi in the Mongolian warrior get-up with the little "will resume shortly" caption.

Now it's just frozen. :blood
