Bad Left Hook Live Boxing Results and Commentary: Dmitry Sartison vs. Khoren Gevor

250px-sebastian_zbik_medium

On Polsat Sport, Universum's last major German card to be aired on ZDF (mostly on tape delay) is being aired live.  There are three major fights on the card:

Sebastian Zbik vs. Jorge Sebastian Heiland - Zbik puts his interim middleweight title on the line against undefeated Argentinian fighter Heiland.  While I don't know much about Heiland, the fact that he fights out of Argentina probably means that he hasn't faced much stiff competition up to this point.

Dmitry Sartison vs. Khoren Gevor - This is the fight of the afternoon in my mind.  Sartison has rattled off a series of decent wins since losing to Mikkel Kessler and has captured a "regular" super middleweight title.  Gevor was a top 10 middleweight who is moving up for another title shot.  His last time out, he lost a decision to Felix Sturm in a fight I thought he won with ease. 

Alexander Dimitrenko vs. Yaroslav Zavorotnyy - Dimitrenko will try to become the fourth guy in a row to win the European heavyweight title while vacant against subpar opposition.  Original opponent, Denis Bakhtov, who's a tough guy who's better than his record indicates, had to pull out with an injury.

In addition, former titlist Karoly Balzsay will be facing Azizz Daari, while Juan Carlos Gomez will take on Zack Page, who took the fight on short notice, and is fresh off of a shutout win over Peter McNeely in a fight he also took on short notice.  Page is probably my favorite journeyman at the moment for his ability to pull off this kind of upset.

Balzsay 10-9 in the first

He barely threw a punch for the first two minutes, but the first one he landed solid rocked Daari.

20-17 Balzsay

Balzsay was much more aggressive in the second round, rocked him consistently, and knocked him down with a few seconds left in the round (nice counter straight left). It’s pretty obvious his opponent’s chin sucks, and this should end soon.

30-26 Balzsay

More of the same, not quite as dominant that round, but he puts together some nice combination punching.

OOF

The Frenchman does down with a huge KD. Manages to get up, but can’t recover enough to go on.

WOW. He went flying there. Balzsay KO5.

This is why Universum sucks

Or at least one reason. Have the best fight with the only real title on the line as the fourth undercard??? Ridiculous.

I want to Gevor to win this

I think he got robbed against Sturm last year and I think hes a very underrated southpaw.

Sartison-Gevor Rd 1

Sartison looks a LOT bigger than Gevor. So far, Sartison is successful at staying outside, so Gevor is needing to lean his head in to throw punches, which could come to bite him later on. Gevor trying to throw a lot of punches to the body, but nothing really landing. Sartison keeping the jab out there, but not really landing that either. Sartison with a decent right hook that’s the first hard punch by either fighter to land. Sartison is basically playing keep away, but the squat Gevor isn’t getting close enough to do damage.

SARTISON 10-9

Sartison-Gevor Rd 2

Gevor comes out and gets much closer to start and lands a flurry to the body. I’ve always loved Gevor’s body work, and he’s making a big effort to bring it this fight. Sartison with a big swinging left hook that whiffs. Gevor leans in with a nice left hook to the body. Sartison doing a lot of posturing and dancing, but not much punching. Gevor seizes the moment, rushes in and lands about a five punch combo to the body. Pretty clear Gevor round, and Sartison didn’t do much.

GEVOR 10-9
19-19

Sartison-Gevor Rd 3

Gevor is finally starting to smother Sartison a bit, and Sartison is back to throwing the jab more. Sartison falls in and Gevor lands a left hook to the head and a right to the body. Gevor is really much more aggressive now and starting to land some solid punches, although the way he keeps jumping in with his left hand down, I’m afraid he’s going to get caught eventually.

Sartison trying to counter more, but he’s just not quick enough to get there at this point. Nice strong jab by Sartison, but Gevor lands a few big hooks to the body to end the round.

10-9 Gevor
29-28 GEVOR

Round 4

Sartison getting more aggressive with the jab now, and Gevor is having more trouble getting inside again. Sartison with a left hook, followed by a straight right, but neither one does much damage. Gevor fires back with a couple hooks to the body. Gevor with a straight left to the body. As usual with Gevor, I fear whether the judges are giving him enough credit for his body work. Sartison ties up, and Gevor gets about four punches in there while trying to do it.

Sartison with a nice short uppercut that’s his best punch of the fight so far. BIG STRAIGHT RIGHT and Gevor is hurt! He’s stumbling back!! But now he has his footing again, and he’s coming forward, trying to land a punch of two and then tie up.

10-9 Sartison
38-38

Anyone else find it interesting that Sartison's corner seems to be American?

Sartison-Gevor Round 5

Gevor a little more reserved to start this round, and Sartison is controlling the distance by feinting. Gevor tries for a couple jabs to the body. Gevor becoming the aggressor yet again, although it looks more like the first round where Sartison’s footwork is keeping Gevor from connecting much.

Gevor with a nice left hook to the body while Sartison is in the corner, Sartison mostly keeping Gevor from getting inside after that. Gevor closes up the round with a nice flurry to the body that probably seals the round for him.

Gevor 10-9
GEVOR 48-47

OK, back

Round 8 now though

Round 8

Sartison with a nice counterpunch to start out the round. Gevor seems to be tiring out some and is clinching more. He gets about a minute break though when the tape comes off his glove.

Sartison with a nice digging hook to the body. He’s really turning it on more now and is fighting much more aggressively. Sartison with a right hand that knocks Gevor off balance. Gevor back with a few more hooks to the body. Gevor stalks forward, but Sartison is now catching him when he does that.

Sartison 10-9 round, pretty wide. Can’t give the score though since I missed two rounds.

Gevor has a hell of a shiner under his right eye.

Round 9

Not too much going on at first, but eventually Sartison catches Gevor with a big right hand, and Gevor’s fighting instinct kicks in. He’s thrown a ton of punches to the body, but Sartison has landed a few good shots up top. Gevor gets his mouthpiece knocked out.

Nice straight right by Sartison. The two fighters are really mising it up well now. Whenever Sartison is outside, he has the advantage, but Gevor has been able to land body punches coming inside before tying up. If you look up the definition of scrappy, there’s a picture of Gevor next to it. But Sartison still took the round.

10-9 Sartison round.

Round 10

Sartison has slowed down again early, and when he tries to throw, Gevor is able to duck under and go to the body. The fight is getting pretty dirty now, with a lot of headbutting, a punch or two thrown, and then both guys clinching. Gevor backs Sartison into the corner, but Sartison fires back with a couple of nice straight shots. Gevor is definitely giving Sartison a tough fight, but Sartison is landing the more solid punches generally, despite a somewhat lower workrate.

10-9 Sartison round

Round 11

Gevor coming out aggressive. He’s not landing much to the head, but he’s finding Sartison’s body quite a bit. Sartison seems more reserved to throw this round. He dances around and misses with a 1-2, and Gevor rushes in and throws a few punches to the body. Sartison with a nice straight right to the body of his own.

On the balance, Gevor did more work in the round, although Sartison might have stolen it with some good work at the end.

Gevor looks pretty fatigued at this point.

10-9 Gevor round.

So I missed two rounds

But at this point, I’ve given Sartison 5 rounds and Gevor 4, so it should be a close fight either way

Round 12

Gevor coming out with some desperation, really fighting aggressively. His corner loudly reminding him to keep his hands up. Gevor comes in and throws a few more to the body. Sartison with a lazy jab upstairs. He’s not really trying to avoid Gevor, but he’s not trying to win the round either. He might just be tired, and Gevor just seems to have more will to keep throwing punches.

Sartison finally comes alive with a nice right hook. It makes the scoring tough because Sartison’s punches clearly have more effect than Gevor’s, but Gevor is just landing a lot more. Now Sartison is flurrying as we get near the end of the round. A nice right hook at the end, and Sartison might have stolen the round and the fight.

10-9 Sartison
I gave Sartison 6 rounds of the ones I saw.

The two embrace in the middle of the ring.

But the way this fight went

I could see the scores being all over the map. Tough fight to score, outside of rounds 2 – 4 which were clear.

Anyone

116-112
115-113
119-109

All for Dimitri Sartison

The first two scores seem maybe fair. 119-109 is ridiculous. That or I just don’t speak German and misheard the score.
