PBC on ESPN: Sergiy Derevyanchenko vs Sam Soliman

[Spicoli]

Rare Thursday night action but I'll take it. Kicks off in 1 hour and will be a IBF middle eliminator for #2 spot .

[Freedom]

Khytrov-Mendez on first, it's about to start.

Golub's fight will be shown if the first fight is an early KO.

[Spicoli]

In opener 13-0 Ievgen Khytrov fights Paul Mendez 19-2-2 middleweights.

Dude. It's Teddys birthday today!

[Freedom]

Khytrov looks to be at his best tonight, landing some good shots in round one.

[Spicoli]

Good exchange. Not smart for Mendez! Khyrtov not hard to miss but moving Mendez with everything!

[Spicoli]

Khytrov looks to be at his best tonight, landing some good shots in round one.

Comes underneath very well, short and varied head body. Corkscrew uppercuts

[Freedom]

It's unlikely to go many more rounds, even though Mendez takes a punch well. He getting hit too much.

[Spicoli]

Can see those body shots really sapping Mendez now, Khytrov turning into them hard.

Soliman playing head games making Sergiy rewrap both hands? Said padding was "different"

[Freedom]

Mendez has an incredible chin. Khytrov has landed a lot of flush punches.

[Freedom]

Mendez' corner should pull him out, or the ref should stop it.

This is how boxers get seriously hurt, an accumulation of hard punches round after round.

[Spicoli]

They might want to spare Mendez anymore of this after 8. He's getting his own in but being absolutely hammered for his trouble. Mouth open nose busted

[Spicoli]

Took commissioner climbing up to stop it but long time coming. What a beating

[Freedom]

Took commissioner climbing up to stop it but long time coming. What a beating

Thank God for the commissioner. Mendez corner and the ref were being irresponsible by not stopping it sooner.

[Spicoli]

Wow. Now Soliman forced to rewrap his hands. Something tells me the ref is going to have his hands full once bell actually rings

[Spicoli]

Thank God for the commissioner. Mendez corner and the ref were being irresponsible by not stopping it sooner.

Never understood a corner saying "one more round or else" after a guy is dominated. Early rounds or late rounds, pride doesn't help you form sentences.
