Robert Easter Jr v Luis Cruz - live on Boxnation 11/2/17

[Alpha]

98-90 x2, 97-91 Gausha

[Spicoli]

Gausha looked really sharp early on. Time for Lil wayne and his first defense. You have to like his moxie for a guy with only 4 ko's. Our friend Zhakiyanov looks dry as a bone, bit off?

Big crowd they put together there!

[Spicoli]

Wow. Outclassed 101. Warren absolutely toyed with in in 1st with two hard knockdowns.

[Alpha]

Warren boxing well. ZZZ just following Warren around. Left hurts ZZ and he goes down. Struggles up and is down again. Survives the round. 1-0 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

Zhakiyanov seems to have recovered. Warrens hand speed and movement are so much better. Zhakiyanov got through a couple of times but another round for Rau'see. 2-0 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Spicoli]

Warren not shy about using the chicken wing elbow to prop up Khakiyanovs head . He got clipped and hurt there on ropes though!! Better 3rd and give it to the ZZ.

[Alpha]

Zhakiyanov having trouble cutting off the ring. Warren needs to stay off the ropes. What looks like a left puts Warren down but not ruled a knockdown. 2-1 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Spicoli]

I think ref missed a KD on Warren in 3rd. He was caught clean and propelled off ropes to canvas. Close close call.

[Alpha]

Both guys trading early. Zhakiyanov keeping that pressure on. Close round. Zhakiyanov was the aggressor while Warren spent a lot of time tying up with his back against the ropes. 2-2 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

Zhankiyanov not making things easy for Warren. Warren can't keep him off. Close round but Zhakiyanov getting more done. 2-3 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

I think ref missed a KD on Warren in 3rd. He was caught clean and propelled off ropes to canvas. Close close call.

At least it woke Zhakiyanov up.

[Spicoli]

Hatton doing best to give him his style blueprint in corner . All pressure all body! Warren better smarten up, he's starting to hang over after he misses some punches.

[Alpha]

Warren creating some distance this round. Time called for loose tape on ZZ's glove. Close round but Warren's boxing won it for him. 3-3 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

Warren's corner slow to get out at round start. Trying to buy him some extra seconds? Zhakiyanov more effective that round but very close. Warren looks good when throwing but is trying to tie up too much. 3-4 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).

[Alpha]

Both guys trading. Zhakiyanov is like the energizer bunny. 3-5 (-2 Zhakiyanov KD).
