Christian Mbilli v Mark Heffron Sat. ESPN+

[Spicoli]

If the 1st is any indicator forget about a possible "upset" . Unal jumps Gomez and rocks him early, focuses on body and near bell lands a big right hand that had Gomez sliding off in a bad way.

[Spicoli]

Gomez steadies and gets to work early 2nd. Doing his own body work and gets in a couple long loopy rights on Unal. The defense of Unal is pretty much nonexistent but taking some clean shots so far.

[Spicoli]

Unal doesn't like it to the body. Now ref checking Gomez who takes a couple shots called low from Unal. Gomez actually getting some uppercuts working end of round, little bit fresher.

[Spicoli]

Big left hook high on front temple rocks Gomez bad last minute of 4th. He was swaying and double stepping but trying to realign. Unal steps to him and uncorks again and Gomez ties up leading to ref to slowly step in and wave it off. Gomes pissed off initially. Decent scalp for Unal in 10 fights.

On what planet do we hear the names Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mike Tyson mentioned in the same sentence . Apparently it's planet Top Rank announcers. Mike had genuine intimidation early on. His brutality rep and skill followed him right out of the gym and straight into the ring. Again, this is 'size' being overstated as if a complete equalizer

[Spicoli]

Not sure this will be the confidence rebuilder and defensive improvements Makhmudov needs but safe to say it'll be a rather short fight

[Spicoli]

Rovcanin wins the first 2 minutes getting some clean shots on him and then gets absolutely caught and dropped hard. He lands across the bottom rope before getting up and finishing round. Walks right back into Makhmudov and starts exchanging with him . Interesting
