ROBBERY or NOT: Part 5
Here's the fifth installment of this series where we'll decide whether fights many consider to be robberies are so or not.
If you missed any prior parts (or the context given in the first part) they'll be found on my profile.
This part will cover: Yan vs O'Malley
Clear: 2 Yan, 3 O'Malley
Swing Round: 1
In the first round, Yan lands a few solid low kicks and body kicks, as does O'Malley - who lands a big overhand right that visibly hurts Yan and slightly stumbles him backward with a straight right, while Yan lands a hard low kick and an intercepting left hook. Yan slams O'Malley to the ground at one point, though doesn't establish any form of progress or attack, while his other attempts are stuffed and he pushes O'Malley to the fence, which isn't considered in terms of effective grappling. In the final seconds, O'Malley lands a takedown of his own on Yan and manages to take his back. This round is razor thin, and truly one that could weigh in either direction - however, I believe O'Malley landed the more impactful strikes in the round, as he works his jab and the overhand and straight right that visibly hurt Yan.
Verdict: NOT A ROBBERY (1, 3 Sean)
