First fight about to start.


If there's already a round by round please delete this thread.

Drago only a 2/1 outsider. 4/1 to score a KO victory over the Cabbage.

Bookies are wise to how vulnerable the Cabbage is.

Also weirdly Babic is listed as 6ft1 and Drago 6ft7. It did not look at all like a 6 inch height difference at the face offs.

madness to have Babic on off-tv vs City vs Arse

Still fancy Alen to cabbage Drago tho...

Cheers for starting this, had no idea this fight was on so early, should be a cracker. Chucked the stream on my phone while watching the football on the big tv.

Babic clearly wore high heels for the face offs.

Also ref doing fu ck all about Babic holding Robinson round the back of the head and throwing uppercuts with the other hand.

Also seen this is 10 rounds which is good to see.

Babic swinging for the fences

Suddelnly Babic doesn't look like he's gonna get him out there.

Both look pretty awful tbh, but really enjoyable fight so far

Yea think he'd have done him by now

Yeah, I expected him try more of a back-foot-stylist strategy...


Well played Drago - he took some bombs and coulda been stopped anytime from R2...

You can be as tough as you like but you can't fight like that every fight.

It's infuritating because Babic telegraphs it so horrendously that it could be so easy. But then I'm not in the ring so maybe it is harder to see than I think.

He did get out of the way of a few swings , but he was knackered after not very long at all and couldn't evade anything else.
A decent boxer with that reach would make easy work of Babic .The fact that Robinson was so critically honest about himself In the fact he said he was "crap" himself tells you all you need to know .I'd love him to be good, but it ain't happening.

if Lawal shows up we might need some RBR scores here gents...

meh so far

I'll guess 1-1 - Lawal 1st Vid 2nd.
19-19

Feels more like a glorified spar right now..

WTactualF ?!

Viddal moves nicely, but this is like Hughie vs Parker.

2-2

Riley’s biggest issue IMO is he’s slipping and moving, but not controlling the distance effectively to set himself up for counters. Feels style over substance right now.

f**k me this is dull

Why didn't they put Babic vs Drago on first ?

if Viddal isn't ill then he's got no stamina - looks fooked

These two are obviously gentle, smiley characters faking beef, then Chev turns up and it kicks off !!

Guys there’s another Rbr as well

Hi,
What strategies can Riley employ to improve his control of distance in order to set himself up for effective counters?
