Stupendous 6s, Elite 8 Fight 1
Lou Savarese (3-0 1) vs. Oleg Maskaev (3-0 2) – Sweet Lou had savaged Hubert Hilton, stopping him on a TKO, while Oleg had ended the dreams of Vasily Jirov, dismantling him with a decisive unanimous decision. Bear was on hand, cautioning Savarese to fight as a boxer and not try to match salvos with Maskaev !
Lou got Oleg’s attention early on with a double hook, moving to an early lead. He was landing as well with uppercuts, and had Maskaev clinching in the second minute. Oleg took the lead with a sizzling combination, but Low came back at round’s end with an eye-popping uppercut , and took the round on my card, 12-10!
Neither man could get anything going in the opening minute of the 2nd. Maskaev, frustrated by Savarese’s defense, tried an uppercut from way outside. It missed, and Lou countered with a bone-crushing cross ! Oleg dropped like Enron , out cold! The referee started the count, then just shook his head and raised Lou’s hand. Showing surprising power, Savarese won via a KO at 1:30 of the 2nd!
Perhaps Maskaev had tired himself out in destroying Jirov. Bear was dancing in the street , his man the first to advance to the Final 4!
