Terry Flanagan vs. Diego Magdaleno RBR

140 really isn't shaping up to be a big puncher's division, huh?

Look at its top 15, and you have names like Cuenca, Barthelemy, Postol, Beltran, Peterson, Soto, Lundy, Herrera, & Catterall (none more than "average" punchers, some true feather-fists) and then you have Figueroa and Broner who don't seem to have carried their power up from lightweight & beyond. The only guys with real pop that aren't probably one foot out the retirement door (looking at Matthysse & Provodnikov) are Imam & Troyanovsky, and while both have pretty high rates of stoppage, really I don't think either of them is a murderous puncher in p4p terms.

 

Round 9

Catterall is just doing his work perfunctorily, taking breaks as he pleases with Putkonen just watching from the invisible barrier formed by Catterall's jabbing range. Catterall is circling away from the unconvincing left jab clawed down the air by Putkonen and placing his right jab as though pinning a tail on a party donkey, then occasionally tickling his ribs with both hands while stepping wide around him.

10-9 Catterall

90-81 Catterall

 

Round 10

Putkonen squeezes his elbows together by his navel, caging his face in his palms and tilting forward. Light southpaw up-jabs flipped into the face by Catterall, penetrating through Putkonen's gloves. Body shots by Catterall, making Putkonen retreat and partially turn his back on him. High jab into the gurad and sneaky left beneath the elbows by Catterall. Putkonen is dipping his face straight down into the path of Catterall's short left and uppercut. Putkonen straightens up and has right jabs sprayed over his gloves, some nicking his ears. Putkonen starts mounting an offensive in the last minute after getting skewered with left uppercuts on the gut and cuffed with roundhouse lefts on the exposed top of his skull. Catterall is ducking the double jab (which, to his credit, Putkonen is pumping with a bit more authority now, leaning forward on his front foot into it) and catching the low right cross on his folded arms in front of his belly.

10-9 Catterall

100-90 Catterall
