I'll add more lines when available...

 

[Krixes]

Big parlay. Let's go with

Khataev+Biyarslanov
.12

(Khataev now at -2000 )

Nice..Added and changed...

 

[Krixes]

Man, Beterbiev destroyed Maderna's confidence during this fight. He was 23-2 at the time and is now 31-12. I timestamped him losing his soul. He on the mat waiving his corner to stop the fight... Crazy stuff..

 

[Krixes]

Credit to Maderna for initially taking a shot to his temple. Not every boxer remains standing after that (although it went downhill fast from there).

Look at the audience looking amused as if they wouldn't mind seeing Beterbiev induce a coma

Spoiler

Beterbiev is different. Watching him involves both wanting him to dominate AND hoping his opponent (has a good neurologist and)
survives to contine his career *

Spoiler: *

*The exception would be that cheater Canelo. Watching his corrupt career destroyed by Beterbiev giving him brain damage
would be good for boxing.

Eight years later, Maderna gets an indirect "rematch" ?
by fighting Khataev, who hopes to be Beterbiev's successor



Let's go (soon)

Dude had a chin but he was just mentally defeated. He had no answer that night.

I'm more excited for the two boxing matches than I am for football tonight...

It was that 30 minute pregame show when the games supposed to start that got me agitated...

Ya fuck all that nonsense

 

[AppliedScience]

more excited for the two boxing matches

That goes without saying.
Two boxing matches and two Bellator matches are what matters.

Would wonder about someone who thinks watching a possibly rigged game between two trash teams
is more interesting than watching two boxers who like KOs
who probably are on their way to establishing real contendership.


The women's semifinal tennis match that finished a moment ago
was also more relevant. Pound for pound, Sabalenka probably is more aggressive and more dangerous than that soft Chefs team






Update
Sounded like Mary Spencer's corner said something like

You need the knockout.
And you're not going to get the knockout if you don't throw punches

 

[Krixes]

Open...

 

[Krixes]

Made him quit... Loved the body work...

 

[AppliedScience]

Got it done.
Had better do a lot of learning from this step up



Don't understand why Khataev gave no concern to Maderna's jab.
He now is reaching a level of competition that is not going to allow carelessly ignoring jabs

But also, similar to what the commentary indicated,
there's no reason to expect flawless work from Khataev only because of wanting to see him become like Beterbiev.

Made him quit... Loved the body work...

Those frequent body shots prepared the scene

Biyarslanov already got started.
Sharpshooting.
KD in R1 left the dude "gasping"
Then another KD.
Let's.
Go.

Update. Already.
