oof bek's cut is nasty

with both guys bleeding they start to exchange more, dibombe looked a bit rocky at the end of the 5th

7th coming up, bit of an ugly fight blood aside. bek winning handily, superior timing and shots looking harder, but getting caught with his chin up and both hands down when he throws. di bombe too survival focused to build much up though

fight stopped on one of the cuts

bek should win comfortably enough on the cards but was kinda eh. doesnt really knock down his stock or lift it. he's good but not top tier

That's going to take a while to heal.
Yeech, pretty gruesome.

bek ud

79-73x2
78-74

indeed, the skin is drooping into his eye

barboza-mccomb next, entrances now

round 1

mccomb a lot more active, lotsa moving and flicking arm punches. barboza looking for right hands. not much of note lands for either

ducking TalkSport doing radio filler - no Barbozo

mccomb speedy flicks are very inaccurate, but his hit and move quick style is frustrating barbosa a bit. barbosa trying to get close. ocassionaly gets some decent shots off, but still not really much of note landing for either guy

mccomb's side must be pretty pleased with how this is going so far, barbose struggling to get off vs the speed and movement. mccomb's shots have nothing on theem and most are air punches, but still frustrating barboza

Barbosa has now worked out the taller man out.

I thought B did much better that rd and is landing accurate and powerful body punches.

4th round and barboza is getting more shots off inside. mccomb not moving quite as much

another round that is more stationary than the first 3, although barboza even getting closer isnt really hammering home these rounds. mccomb putting in his own body work. closer fight than i expected it to be at the halfway point. you could have mccomb ahead

Ok I wasn't quite right, Barbosa doing very well when he is pressing forward but he is not doing it enough. He stands there in the taller man's range.

this could feasibly be 5-1 mccolm right now (i doubt it really is though), barbosa needs to not care so much about missing and just let those hands go

He also needs to believe he is better on the inside - he is. Plus he's the smaller man.

gavin gwyne, despite his lack of barboza's skill, just went at mccomb with torrents of punches. he didnt play along with the feint and fiddle and wait game like barboza is doing here. barb needs to beat his just and go caveman

was just gonna ask..., "how does some1 get stopped by Gwynne and beat Barboza in The Barclays Centre...?"

I think maybe his corner is telling him that. Let's see.

last few rounds have been close, mccolm still doing his flick and move scoring, but barboza having good pockets too. scores could be all over the place here. very different approaches from the two of them

Wow dude, Bar looks very sluggish.

ya mccomb with his speed and length is making barbosa play a role he's not used to, so far barb is struggling to do it
