Wulan Tuolehazi vs Ryota Yamauchi / Sho Kimura Vs Wicha Phulaikhao RBR

5-More of the same, so much pressure from Zhang, Maekawa backing off for the most part then unloading combinations before being forced backwards, this Chinese fighter would be very tough to beat if he had a bit of power. Headclash and Maekawa cut. Fights stopped, Zhang is celebrating, maybe that was ruled by a punch. Meekawa's right eye is swollen, likely from all the headclashes.

Sounds like a technical decision...Zhang gets it...as he should

 

Sho Kimura (17-2-2, 10) vs Pigmy Kokietgym (60-10-2, 24), aka Wicha Phulaikhao. Pigmy can't win the OPBF Silver Super Flyweight title having TOTALLY missed weight yesterday

 

Gonna be surprised if this goes more than 3

 

1-Kimura boxing behind his jab (a punch he's been working on) early on, the Thai looks small even for a Flyweight, a big hook rocks the Thai, he's already aware that he's gonna get ****ed up, body shot from Kimura, an uppercut from Kimura, Pigmy on the retreat, another Kimura jab, and another, Pigmy with a combination that has no effect at all, constant educated pressure now from Kimura, Pigmy fighting in spurts, body shots from Pigmy but they are little more than slaps.

 

2-Pigmy showing some ambition but Kimura regains control easily enough, does seem like Kimura is working on things as opposed to seeking the blow out finish, and as I type that he unleashes a solid combination, huge body shot by Kimura, Pigmy in survival mode again, a hard left hook from Kimura and Pigmy went wide eyed for a second, Kimura just marching his man down, body shot again, and Pigmy in trouble as we go to the bell.

 

3-Kimura seems to be more vicious now and again goes to the body, Pigmy can't get through the guard and is forced to take another huge body shot, and a hard right up top, and another uppercut, another body buster from Kimura, and the pressure continues, down goes the Thai! He's up but you get the feeling he's not enjoying this at all, a hook from Pigmy bounces off Kimura, Pigmy down again, Kimura seemed to look into the crowd with a "this is over" look, Pigmy gets up but is dropped again!

 

"The winner by Knock-TKO" heh!

Next Xiang Li (5-2-1, 2) v Tao Li (1-1)

 

1-Red Vs black, I didn't catch which Li was which, red appears to be affiliated with Xiong Zhao Zhong, with his name on his shorts, red is the sharper puncher and more aggressive guy, black lands a lovely left hand with about 30 seconds left but it bounces off Li. Red round

 

2-Grabbed food, from what I saw red guy took the round, but was closer than the first...mmm food!

 

3-Pressure from Red Li, and it appears that pressure has caused him harm from a headclash, .....ooooh thats a nasty cut! Down over the eye brow, fight goes on and he's immediately on the front foot, Black Li looks to turn it around and uses a nice jab, nothing much landing clean with any power from either guy, very sloppy stuff for the most part now

 

4-Sloppy action getting sloppier, nothing much to talk about, black Li has the power of a girl, Red Li is backing off and trying not to get his cut ****ed up. Meh didn't really score it. Think Li won...

 

Intermission whilst we wait for Chinese TV I think

 

Wulan Tuolehazi (10-3-1, 5) v Ryota Yamauchi (4-0, 4)

 

1-Yamauchi on the front foot showing a razor sharp jab, Wulan looking to be patient and figure out the guy he has in front of him, excellent jabs from Yamauchi, a sweeping hook from Wulan raises the crowd, body shot in return, a nice combination from Yamauchi, Wulan backs up and is tagged by another jab, crowd cheering everything Wulan does, body shot Yamauchi and a return shot from Wulan, another body shot from Yamauchi, and again, and a couple more for good measure, crowd starting to realise they are seeing a star in the making, lovely work from Yamauchi, a short right from Wulan bounces off Yamauchi's jaw, body shots again from the visitor. 10-9 Yamauchi

 

2-Yamauchi on the front foot again and pecking away with his jab, a body shot from Wulan, and it's returned with interest, a sneaky right from Wulan, a good body shot from Wulan, Yamauchi narrowly misses with a couple of bombs, crowd cheering anything Wulan lands with again, a body shot from Yamauchi, Wulan backs off, another body shot from Yamauchi and Wulan returns fire, a left from Wulan up top, a rigth from Yamauchi, taking it in turns now to fire short flurries, Yamauchi to the body again, Wulan backing up, a lovely combination from Yamauchi who is pushing Wulan back in a test of strength, a short right from Wulan, who eats an uppercut on the ropes. Wulan with a shot a good 1/2 second half second after the bell. 2-0 Yamauchi
