Round 6:

When Kotelnik connects Mbaye can look stunned for a second, and he is certainly the harder puncher, but Mbaye is ducking and dodging and popping the shots from outside better. Mbaye with a jab and hook. Big hook from Kotelnik finds the fgloves. Kotelnik pins Mbaye o the ropes and throws hard body hooks. Jab and straight right from Kotelnik. Good right from Mbaye. Pair of jabs again. Nice overhand right from Mbaye pushes Kotelnik back, but he comes forward Two jabs and a hook from Mbaye edge the left eye towards a cut, but, Kotelnik then throws a flurry of sharp shots again.

Kotelnik sliughtly the better, but Mbaye oing the work, so a tied again i think.
69-67

Just the usual problems of the Eastern European complexion IMO.

Round 11:

Amir Khan's sterling advice. "Just box him". I woulnd't be surprised if Mbaye had friction burns on his back from running around the ropes so much. Flurry from Kotelnik but Mbaye covers up. Nice jab from Mbye. Good jab then a right from Mbaye. Right upstairs and a hook to the body from Kotelnik. They both look knackered. Good right, left, from Mbaye, jabs and a gentle uppercut from Mbaye. Hook to the body from Kotelnik, and a short left hook catches Mbaye on the way in. He throws another jab overhand right and catches Kotelnik. Two body shots and a short right up top from Kotelnik. Body shots from Mbaye.

These rounds are tight, but Mbaye is the classier for me, taking this one.
108-105

This all depends on whether you prefer aggression or skills.

[amat]

YEAH! Sounds like Mbaye is winning but not by much. Sounds like a UD is unlikely but a dec would be great for me

[superheavyrhun]

Round 12:

Straight right from Kotelnik. Mbaye with a nice left upstairs. Body shots from Mbaye, but Kotelnik comes forward with a hard body shot and a left upstairs. Good left from Kotelnik. Mbaye jabs, and Kotelnik throws some short hooks in the clinch. Jab right from Kotelnik, and a good right by Mbaye. Two jabs from Mbaye. Good right from Kotelnik, and a flurry of body shots and a right up top. Good left from Kotelnik. Mbaye ties up. Jabs from Mbaye. Two body shots from Kotelnik and a hook upstairs.

Kotelnik takes the last one.117-115, but a lot of tight rounds in there. Wait and see.

[ICB]

i was watching this fight on my comp but it got cut out after 9 i got impression that m baye was hitting alot of arms and elbows and kotelnik was landing cleaner punches

[superheavyrhun]

Oliver Harrison looks a bit worried. Mbaye looks confident, but Kotelnik is celebrating, and gathering applause from the crowd.

Scorecards: 115-113 Mbaye; 117-112 Kotelnik; 114-114. Draw. Mbaye retains the title but OMG Kotelnik looks furious.

[superheavyrhun]

No idea how Mickey Vann had Kotelnik by 5 rounds, but very entertaining, and everybody ends up with nothing in the prediction comp!

Next up Kevin Mitchell v Harry Ramogoadi, here's a preview I made earlier.


Kevin Mitchell v Harry Ramogoadi; Commonwealth Super-Featherweight Title

KEvin Mitchell (22-0, 15KOs): The big puncher from Dagenham took the title with a 12 round tight decision over African George Ashie back in October, and now returns to the ring with what appears to be a significantly easier bout against journeyman Ramogoadi. Mitchell is one of the hottest properties in British boxing, and is famed for his all-action style that relies more on hurting the opponent than fending those shots off. He'll start as a big favourite, and should cruise past Ramogoadi.

Harry Ramogoadi (17-6-2, 3 KOs): Ramogoadi comes into this one having recently lost a family member, and is promising to upset all the odds and beat Mitchell. The South African gave Nicky Cook a tough fight after stepping in for the jail-bound Scott Harrison, but has two defeats against Choi Tseveenpurev and another prospect John Murray. He does, in the distant past have a win over IBF champ Malcolm Klassen, and a draw with Thomas Mashaba, but these were 5 years ago. If he wins I'll eat my hat with some roasted veg and an onion gravy.
