bjornmma1 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Alika is the man! His write-ups for Gamma or fantastic and so much fun to read. Example: GAMMA#634 Defoe v Origi – May 13 205 title - Menace Defoe © Vs Divock Origi As the saying goes ‘good things come to those who wait’ and Divock Origi has been waiting for what seems like an eternity. No amounts of steak frites could bring him to temptation as he kept a strict diet. No fannying about reading Kiekeboe comics, he spent all his time in the gym getting ready for his big opportunity. This was his moment to shine and nothing was going to stop him. The champion Menace Defoe hasn’t been dallying about either, he has proven himself time and time again in his short title reign as he’s faced the best management could find to face him, he never showed any fear and boldly kept moving forward, never looking back. The bell rang and both men rushed to the center in hopes of catching their opponent by surprise, to no avail as they were both quick on their feet and sharp with their mind. Defoe threw the first punch but it was Origi who started gaining momentum early. Origi was in the zone but his reckless attacks came at a prize as he got caught by a big head kick that nearly cost him the fight. Origi wizened up after that nearly fatal blow as he finished the first round mostly clinching up with the champion to recover from the damage while also softening Defoe up a bit before the end of the round. Round two started with Origi having found a breath of fresh air, he recovered from the big head kick and he wanted to pay the champion back in kind. While Origi was throwing bombs most of the time, Menace Defoe did an excellent job of mixing up his striking. Defoe knew he hurt the challenger with his head kick in the first round but he wasn’t just mindlessly headhunting, he kept tormenting the challenger with wood chopping leg kicks and body kicks that had Origi gasping for air. Origi occasionally threw a snapping kick back at the champion but he seemed more focused in ending the fight rather than prolonging it. That clever strategy took its toll on the champion in the second round as he got rocked by a stinging cross. Defoe did a good job of not letting it show that he was hurt but Origi definitely took the second round on the score cards. Menace Defoe came back with a vengeance in the third round as he threw everything but the kitchen sink at Origi. He kept battering Origi with an armada of strikes coming from all possible directions. While a fight ending strike never took place in the third round, one kick in particular nearly turned the challenger into a eunuch as it landed dangerously low. Divock Origi however defended wisely and weathered the storm from an infuriated champion. Menace Defoe was still trying to catch his breath from an exhausting assault as the fourth round started. Divock Origi knew he just lost a round and needed to get back in the game if he wanted his hands raised. Origi had the champion on the run with his quick-fire offense and he turned the fight around in exciting fashion as he nearly took Menace Defoe’s head off with a beautiful combination, knocking the champion off his feet. Just as everyone thought that the round was going to be a very lopsided round for Origi, Menace Defoe connected with a perfectly timed head kick that had Origi seeing stars, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The fifth and final round started with a loud crowd on their feet, begging for more and these two gladiators were happy to deliver. A brief striking exchange ended when Origi took the fight to the clinch but the champion did not want to stay there. Before long they went back to their brawling roots and to the crowd’s amusement, the back and forth stand-up war continued. Neither was able to gain the advantage as they knew that this could be the deciding round. They both hung on despite pain and suffering because they knew that if they could muster through it all and gain the advantage, they could win not just this round but the entire fight. And then Origi caught lightning in a bottle as a huge right hand sent Menace Defoe sprawling to the canvas. Menace Defoe, with cat-like reflexes kept his cool, rolled over backwards and managed to spring himself off the cage to land back on his feet but despite his cool acrobatic stunt, he knew he just lost the round and possibly the entire fight. What a fight that was! Fight of the year candidate for sure. Winner: Divock Origi by unanimous decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
