Tonight's FNF! 2/12/10

I think I like Kim in this one

....At least I hope so,I just put some money on him. He.s one his last 10 (9 by KO) hopefully not too many stiffs

It was a decent win for him, though he is very easy to tag. You can't argue with how strong he was coming on in the final two rounds though. I thought the stoppage was a little early, but the tide had clearly turned big time.

Kind of crazy that fight had 3 absolute modes

Mode 1: Rounds 1-2 Harris having his way, Kim looking like the shots hitting him in the body were effecting him, absolute blowout rounds for Harris, he looked really sharp, really fast and his reactions allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Mode 2: Round 3 Kim started to look like he was getting his legs under him and Harris was slowing down noticably

Mode 3: Rounds 4-5 Harris has his high guard up looking for a moment to breath and Kim keeps rising pressure throughout the round. Once Kim got going there was no stopping him.

The stoppage was early, but Harris had multiple cuts and wasn't doing anything but leaning on the ropes behind a high guard.

I really like both guys, I think Harris started too fast and just burned out. Kim is just a punching machine, like a sloppy version of Provodnikov.

It was a fun fight. In those final few rounds Kim just wouldn't stop throwing. He was very sloppy, but like you say, Harris just didn't seem able to keep up and was getting busted up in the process. Not bad going stateside with only a few days prep time and doing that. Extra long flights and time differences can really play havoc with you, but Kim handled it well. It feels strange calling him Kim actually as it could be referring to about a quarter of the entire country, but I can't remember his first names!
