ROBBERY or NOT: Part 8
This will be the eighth installment of the series where we'll be discussing whether fights often considered to be robberies are so or not.
If you missed any part or context given within them, find then on my profile.
This part will cover: Pimblett vs Gordon
Clear: 3 Gordon
Swing Rounds: 1, 2
In the first round, Gordon landed quite well with his low kicks - with one that takes Pimblett slightly off balance. Gordon lands a hard left hook; both land with left hooks of their own before Pimblett lands on a check hook. Gordon landed clean on another left hook that stumbled Paddy later. Pimblett intercepts Gordon with a solid body uppercut, though Gordon lands back with a huge right overhand followed by another clean left hook. Pimblett goes for a takedown near the end of the round, but Gordon reverses with a whizzer and gets top control for the end of the round, landing a few solid ground strikes.
In the second round, Pimblett lands a clean check hook and later sets up a solid combination - a push kick, followed by two left hooks, a left straight, and a right hook, while Gordon shells up and backs off. Gordon lands a good knee in the clinch, before Pimblett pulls the fight down to the ground with a submission attempt which he doesn't get close with. As they work back to the feet, Gordon lands a huge right hand on the breakaway that visibly hurt Pimblett. Paddy lands a hard, looping right hand past Gordon's guard, but Gordon lands back with a great overhand right, a clean straight right, and a hard left hook.
Verdict: ROBBERY (1, 2, 3 Gordon)
