Thanks for the link :good

When's John fighting?

 

[Indigo Pab]

@dkos No bother man.:good

The show started at quarter to and going off my limited experience of watching RCTI it's going to be a while before we get to the end of this card. Their broadcasts go on for like over 4 hours or something, I swear 3/4's of it is just mental ads about milk though.

 

[Bryn]

Cheers dude.

I'm a real RCTI enthusiast. I remember the day of John-Yordan, just brilliant television(and not even because that was one of the fights of the year). I discovered the fantastic soap opera Putri Yang Ditukar, there was a series of attractive, lovely women in it who were friendly with a bunch of dudes punching waaaaaaaay above their weight. I remember one fat, acne-ridden spectacle'd dude bizarrely just rubbing this woman as she slept. Very odd.

Then when the boxing started everyone was infectiously excited, and they started it off with some mental celebrity bout. There was a lot of wild "punches", one of the lads was doing occasional cartwheels, the referee kept on interrupting the action to laugh at them, and other such shenanigans. As previously mentioned there were also some strange ads, mainly about milk.

The main event was also pretty good.

Indonesia >>>>

We're currently being treated to some children on acid partying around the arena.

This is what I came to see.

IGNORE WHAT I SAID EARLIER

Yordan-Vetyeka is starting NOW, lads.

 

[Indigo Pab]

At the risk of jinxing myself, I'd recommend anyone to tune into this fight. Yordan makes for nothing but great fights most of the time.

 

[Bryn]

Pabby. :lol:

 

[dkos]

Vetyeka 29-28

What a schooling this is...

All joking aside, good competitive fight and Vetyeka is maintaining a high workrate on the back foot and landing plenty. Feel Yordan can step it up, though.

 

[Indigo Pab]

My Indonesian is shoddy, but I do believe I've just seen an ad where a man has drank some kind of motorcycle oil.

We also had a period of time where Vetyeka's entrance was announced and we were left waiting in eerie silence for a couple of minutes as he was nowhere to be found. He has since shown up and we've completed 3 rounds. Vetyeka boxing well at range in between offensive bursts from Yordan, where he has had his man in bother a couple of times already. Close fight.

 

[dkos]

Great 4th round for Vetyeka there, most dominant so far.

 

[dkos]

Stream was too messed up for me to be able to judge the 5th.

 

[Indigo Pab]

Vetyeka > Rignondeaux

Another good round for him in the 5th, maintaining range and landing plenty of straight punches, and then holding or pushing his man off whenever Yordan manages to maneuver himself inside. Yordan had a great combination in the last 10 seconds or so of the round but Vetyeka didn't appear too perturbed by it, electing to hold his ground and get a big left hook of his own in.

 

[Indigo Pab]

The stream is weird, switches between like 1080p and being completely unwatchable every few seconds.:lol:

 

[dkos]

10th was the first round I've gave to Yordan since the 2nd. Vetkeya still very much in control, however.

 

[dkos]

Very impressive 12th round stoppage win for Vetyeka!

 

[Indigo Pab]

WHOA NELLY :stonk

Fuck this stream.:lol: Froze on me completely and as soon as it comes back about 15 seconds later the referee is stepping in and it looks like Yordan has been stopped?!? I don't even really know what's happened.

 

[dkos]

Vetyeka floored Yordan with a very nice one-two, then when Yordan got back up he kept the pressure on to force the ref to step in. Just an accumulation of damage taken over the fight. Although the style of fight was different, he took a beating similar to the one Caballero dished out to him.
