David Haye v Enzo Maccarinelli - Cruiserweight Title Unification RBR

[superheavyrhun]

OK guys, the first live fight of the evening from Nottingham is Jason "2 Smooth" Booth coming in to the ring to some Tupac, against (who) mystery man Lante Addy who has been talking big about looking at world titles after tonight, despite only packing 5 wins from 5 in his record. That Commonwealth bantamweight title fight is up next.

OK, Lante Addy's record announced in the ring is 11-1-1, and he fights out of Accra, Ghana. Personally, I think Booth'll be happier with 11-1-1 than a guy who's 5-0!

Round 1:
Booth opens up with a jab and a right hook. Booth with a couple of body shots. Addy has a wide stance, and digs in two shots of his own. A couple of jabs, and he's warned for holding Booth down in the clinch. Booth moving well and dodging, and gets in a jab of his own. Body shots from Addy are getting through. Booth looking to work the jab, but Addy seems unfazed by it so far. Addy's right hook to the body is landing well so far. Jab and right hooks as Addy comes into them, but Addy ploughs through with another right of his own. Left hook lands from Booth, who is trading a little too much so far. Couple of body shots hit Addy on the bell.

Nothing much to seperate them so far.
10-10

Round 2:

Addy's wide stance is giving him loads of leverage, and he doesn't look too worried about what Booth is throwing so far. Booth with a right hook, but takes one in return. Booth doubles the jab then a body shot, and he's looking to move more at the start of this round. Jab then a couple of body shots, but Addy digs in two body shot. Booth gives Addy a bit of a shove, and he falls over. Good jab and straight right from Booth. Addy is letting booth work, with a nice body shot then flush right hook landing. Booth caught with some of the windmill hooks as he moves forward. Addy is very crude. Uppercut from Addy, and a right hook to the body.

Round 4:

Addy was off balance and moving into that punch, and didn't seem too fazed by it. Booth going after Addy with body shots and a right hook, but Addy firing back all guns with body shots again, then a left hook up top of his own. The pendulum swings again as Booth returns to the body, then another peach of a left hook catches Addy flush. Addy counters to the body, and Booth finally seems to have gotten the measure of Addy. Left hook from Booth, then a couple of short hooks. Addy going to the body, but seems to be tiring with the pressure. Good left hook then uppercut from Booth, and he's making Addy miss badly here.
