Top Rank: Ash-Shakur Nafi-Shahid Stevenson vs. Edwin De Los Santos Feliz (+ Navarrete-Conceição) RBR

Giovanni Sarchioto vs. Lucas Werbeth De Abreu Martins, 6 rounds @ super middleweight

 

Yeah, I was just about to eat, but...

 

Tall switch-hitter in black is the Brazilian kid. Orthodox in red is the Italian...probably the "supposed to win" A-side here since he's younger and undefeated.

 

This fight's alright so far.

 

Abreu is most effective when fighting southpaw, and he's probably done better work overall in the first half of this, although I'm not watching closely enough to produce a scorecard.

edit: literally the second after I post that Sarchioto knocked him down with a minute left in R3.

edit2: moments later another KD, waved off.

 

Think he initially buzzed him with a stray right cross between his wrists, then just chopped Abreu down with looping rights & left hooks. Nothing too artful, just bad defense.

Quite a vulgar little display of power after losing the first 2½ rounds.

 

Hugo Andre Jean-Luc Micallef vs. Sergio Odabai, 6 rounds @ welterweight

 

The frosted-tipped Monégasque fighter (I believe the first and only boxer to rep Monte Carlo in the Olympics?) just slowly breaking down the Macedonian-Iranian-Austrian. Neither strikes me as being particularly skilled based on these couple of rounds in the books. One's just bigger and hits harder.

 

HA! They're reading my RBR at ESPN's commentary desk. Bernardo Osuna just made mention of Odabai being an Austrian of Macedonian & Iranian descent. 90 seconds later? Zero chance that's coincidence.
