Vinny Pazienza vs. Abdelkader Marbi

Round 1 >

Vinny came out fast and tried to be aggressive, and started winging punches from all angles.

But he was met by a smooth sharp counter-puncher in Abdel, who blocked the 'telegraphed punches'
and smartly countered with straight punches into Vinny's face

Vinny expected to 'blow-out' Abdel early and used his hand-speed to score, but by the half-way point
in the session Vinny realized that Abdel had come to fight and not fall down.

Just past the mid-way point in the Round, Abdel landed a sharp 'left-right' to Vinny's face that sent him
back on his heels.

Vinny retaliated with a fast-fluury', but Abdel took them without an issue.

Then Abdel came back hard and 'bopped' Vinny with a jarring right-hand to the chin, and followed up
with several clean punches.

Abdel had the edge in power, and surprised Vinny with a few solid punches over the last 30-Seconds of the Round.

Round 1 > Abdelkader Marbi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2 >

Vinny opened up more cautious, and didn't charge in recklessly like he did in the 1st-Round. Vinny stayed outside
and low, and fired left-jabs into Abdel's mid-section.

Vinny was wary of Abdel's power, and avoided any exchanges.

Abdel stayed outside and waited to counter, because he could not match Vinny in the speed department.

Abdel was not able to catch Vinny with anything clean over the first 2-Minutes, and changed tactics by moving
forward.

As Abdel moved in, Vinny was able to use his speed, as he 'jabbed-and-moved', as he stayed away from Abdel's
quick straight-punches.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before Round 3 >
Vinny's corner instructed him to move in close, and to go 'downstairs'. He was told to move in close, and to
slam Abdel's body with hooks.

Round 3

Vinny came out fast, but stayed outside, while firing in left-jabs to Abdel's mid-section over the first Minute.

In the meantime, Abdel was looking to counter Vinny's low left-hand with a right-hand over the top.

Abdel was able to catch Vinny a few times with fast right-hand leads over the top. This bothered Vinny, who
then went charging in head first into Abdel.

During one charge, Vinny crashed his head into Abdel's. Vinny came out of this with a 'bad cut' on his left eyebrow.

Immediately, Abdel went after the 'cut', and scored with stiff left-jabs into the area, causing it to 'gush blood'.

Vinny tried to counter, and wailed away. But Abdel was smart, and roughed up Vinny inside while working
on the 'gash'.

By the end of the Round, Vinny's eye-brow was a mess, as Abdel was sending 'pin-point' right-hands into the
eye-brow.

Round 3 > Abdelkader Marbi
