More World Title RBR's Mbaye v Kotelnik et al
Evning folks,
plenty of boxing going on tonight on a really big Sports Network bill though no really huge names to mention, but plenty of good bouts.
First up Souleymane M'baye v Andreas Kotelnik, then it's Derry Matthews v Paul Simpson, Paul Smith v Alexander Polizzi and the banger Kevin Mitchell v Harry Ramogoadi.
Bill starts at 9pm UK, 4pm EST, and the fight previews and schedule will come as the evening progresses. I'm off for a steamy....bath and to pop some blisters after some nice hiking earlier on, so drop by in an hour or so for some more top boxing action.

First up tonight is Souleymane Mbaye v Andreas Kotelnik for the WBA Light Welter title.
M'baye comes in at 35-1 with 20 KOs having lost only once in a points fight v Vivian Harris in 2003. He won the strap with a 4th round destruction of Italian Raul Balbi in September.
Kotelnik 27-2 with defeats to Junior Witter, and an SD to M'baye
Re: More World Title RBR's Mbaye v Kotelnik et al
Oops, first fight caught me on the hop, so apologies for shoddy preview.
Round 1
Cagey start for these guys, and Kotelnik seems a little shorter and lunging a little more. Devent hook from M'baye. Snappy jabs from Mbaye. Both trying to shoot from distance and lots of shots falling short. Two more jabs from Mbaye, but nice jab from Kotelnik. They swap jabs again. Short hooks from Kotelnik, and one returned by Mbaye.
Drawn round, nothing much happened to seperate them.
10-10

Round 2:
Body hook from Kotelnik. Rising straight from Mbaye gets through. Two flurries from Kotelnik find nothing but arms and gloves. Jab to the body from Kotelnik, and a better jab sent back from Mbaye. Left hook from Kotelnik. Nice left to the body from Mbaye. A 15-second Witter style standoff, before Mbaye comes forward with some short shots to the body. Kotelnik gets a few in of his own. Mbaye with a combo to the body and then upstairs. More happening this round. Good left hook from Kotelnik opens Mbaye's eyes, and a pair of straight shots pierce the guard.
Mbaye for workrate, just, for me.
20-19
