Zolani Tete vs. Paul Butler RBR

Round 3

Tete ducks a high combination and jabs the body. Tete draws Butler across the ring, playing patty-cake with the right jab and then skewering him with a low left cross. Butler is chasing after Tete with his left glove positioned high but not unsheathing it, just walking in, no jab. Wild right handed swipe at the body from Butler diving in, missing as Tete steps away. Clinch. Punch on the spine by Butler. Tete shakes him off and snaps a couple of light right jabs in his eyes. Butler is caught by a left on the navel while hopping around Tete. Butler tries a head combination but misses, just cuffing Tete's bleached-blond coif with the punctuating left hook. Tete is controlling distance with the reach-in southpaw jab from a full meter out. Butler is quickening his step around Tete, moving right now, looking to bore in from an unexpected angle but too slow to execute.

10-9 Tete

30-27 Tete

 

Yeah, so, uh...hey, Lep...

 

...and watch the diving in face-first. Tete has already thrown a few warning shot left uppercuts, FFS.

 

Eh?

 

Round 4

Butler is rushing in and going for body shots, one and done, pulling back and standing off to pose with his guard up. Right jabs and left uppercuts by Tete, maneuvering slickly around Butler, right arm down, legs wide apart, ducking when he needs to. Quick right jab up top and left speared into the stomach by Tete as Butler charges with a flurry. Butler is knocked back from a blocked 1-2, his own gloves slamming into his face. Wild frenzied attack from Butler, sweeping a left hook and throwing an overhand right from outside. Tete keeps stepping back and landing counter pot shot right jabs up from the hip at his desired range.

10-9 Tete

40-36 Tete
