3/2/24 ESPN+ - Otabek Kholmatov vs Raymond Ford (vacant WBA Featherweight Title) / Luis Alberto Lopez vs Reiya Abe (IBF Featherweight Title)

[TheNig]

Otabek doing a good job of mixing up these punches. Going to the body then the head. Got Ford thinking. Ford is doing a good job countering.

 

[patscorpio]

both fighters gotta establish punching respect

 

[patscorpio]

ford is in serious trouble; kholmatov is starting hand out a beating

 

[Electric Ladyland]

Bradley flips sides like a mf

 

[Rain]

Kholmatov expanding a lot of energy.

 

[Buddy]

Ford legit stopped and stared at him near the end of the round like "Oh you FOR REAL right now"

 

[JP_614]

I’m telling yall that left man.

 

[TheNig]

Otabek's left hand is LETHAL.

 

[Mashal88]

Kholmatov is just more skilled and seasoned. Was obvious from opening bell. His feet are better and more fluid. He's in and out. Ford is just right there.

 

[patscorpio]

hard toe to toe exchanges

 

[Electric Ladyland]

Ford still doing good work

if kholmatov tires soon it will pay off

 

[Rain]

Kholmatov better catch his second wind

 

[TheNig]

Ford just.... Following Otabek around the ring.

 

[Mashal88]

I really dislike Bradley as a commentator. Call the fight. Stop blatantly rooting for guys, injecting narratives.

 

[UpAndComing]

Ford is getting outclassed by Komotoast

Ford is looking confused. Doesn't know if he wants to play the counter-puncher or if he wants to attack recklessly
