Vic Darchinyan vs. Shinsuke Yamanaka & Takahiro Aoh vs. Terdsak Jandaeng RBR

:nod

That's my boy, Terdsak!!! :thumbsup

 

Round 4

Big overhand left by Jandaeng. Aoh backs up. Jandaeng is on him like white (and stickiness) on sticky rice. Aoh holds. Left uppercut buy Jandaeng. Aoh dances around, up on his toes. Clinch. Break. Jandaeng straightens his posture, relaxing his broad shoulders and looking very confident. Jandaeng moves to his right and lands a hook. Long rocketing counter jabs by Aoh from outside. Jandaeng walks through, hunting the body. BIG LEFT HAND by Jandaeng. Another, to the body. Aoh is literally folding like a lawn chair every time Jandaeng lands.

39-37 Jandaeng

 

Okay, time for WBC open scoring. Now we get a preview of whether Jandaeng will be robbed if he lets this go all the way...

 

Official cards through four:

38 38
38 38
38 38

:think Fair enough I guess. (although TJ has won three straight pretty clear IMO)

 

Jandaeng is a tough SOB, though. Only a peak JMM ever stopped him and only after a sustained assault for many rounds.

 

Round 5

Jandaeng is stepping in, bobbing and weaving, using a high guard and head movement, and hammering Aoh with set-up right jabs and left uppercuts to the body. Aoh pushes his own jab, sliding his feet back. Aoh tries to space himself out far enough to throw a big long slap-down 1-2. Jandaeng just ducks and swivels and stays smart defensively, just staring at Aoh's body and salivating... A few long counter jabs by Aoh; one might be inclined to give him this one.

49-46 Jandaeng

 

Round 6

Jandaeng is banging that body! Aoh is jabbing and clinching. Jandaeng dives in with a right hook to the ribs and grinds into Aoh. The ref splits them apart. Lots of diving by Jandaeng, could be dangerous - headbutts becoming a real possibility as Aoh doubles over in anticipation trying to push down on him. Jabs by Aoh, body shots by Jandaeng. Clinch. Now Aoh lands a few nice body shots. Solid left hand to the face by Aoh.

59-55 Jandaeng

 

Some folks thought Boschiero won.

 

Round 7

BUDI BUDI BUDI!! Jandaeng is landing some hard lefts down there. Good ring generalship by Jandaeng as well, pacing quickly to his left to get Aoh spinning on his toes and then barreling in with sure steady foot placement and landing hard body shots. Masterful pressure fighting by Jandaeng. Aoh is countering with his right, all jabs and hooks while backing up. Jandaeng presses in on him, eating shots. Clinch. Right jab to the face by Jandaeng. Aoh circles left. Straight left to the eye by Aoh. Another. Jandaeng comes forward, and is met by a 1-2 to the body by Aoh but not slowed down much. Jandaeng starts to find his own body shots again.

Close round.

68-65 Jandaeng

 

Round 8

Aoh lands some right jabs moving backward. Jandaeng comes bashing low with his left. Clinch. Push-off. Jandaeng is now lunging with shots. Leaping right hooks up top and lefts to the body. Accidental rabbit punch as Aoh had his back turned, and Aoh is hurt and given a moment to recover. Time in. Jandaeng is smothering him. Aoh spins him away out of the clinch. Looping left to the face by Aoh stepping outside. Body shots by Aoh, tap tap tap. Left uppercut by Jandaeng! Clubbing overhand! Right jab to the face!!

Jandaeng came back and closed that round strong on sheer grit.

78-74 Jandaeng
