Also on the later rounds, he was finding holes in Myth's defense and poking him through his guard. He stepped in with some deep jabs to counter Myth's backsways (like @26:16). If he had trained better footwork and combinations, he could've setup his right hand with those and land some more hard hits too. That was some excellent adaptation to his opponent.

My guess is whoever was editing this recorded the match in the background, since they couldn't exactly download a whole 6 hour stream(in reasonable time + I think they were editing while the event was still live), while editing the other matches in the meantime. They probably recorded their entire desktop audio instead of just the stream, which is why we hear overlapping audio of some other match but it cuts in and out as the editor was probably scrubbing through the match

The matches were being clipped and edited while the event was live. They were a couple matches behind but the first 5 or so sets were uploaded when the stream ended. Just an overloaded workflow, on the editor and the computer, where some bugs got through due to the constraints. Your hearing double tracks from the live audio (and possibly clips).

cherdley was genuinely impressive, being underweight and shorter it was a tough fight for him before he even started. But the dude has a genuine granite chin for taking those shots and still walking forward. He also was actually taking his time for good shot placement. Myth was of course very dominant, but Cherdley and him should spar more to learn each other weaknesses, fun match.

[@thegrahamreaper6851]

LIke, on top of being an absolute tank, he still somehow was giving significant blows back to Myth. You can see Myth really slowing down from all the blows and the fight that Cherdley was giving him all the way into and through the third round. So on top of being blasted and remaining standing, he also blasted back. Not the same degree, but he consistently clapped back. That's just insane.

If only i had kissed Cherdleys one more time he would have won...

[@Siberius-]

If you don't know how to play chess, and if the boxing doesn't end with a stoppage, then you really want to move those chess pieces quickly, so as the opponent runs out their clock and you win that way. Any bullshit move. So now due to Cherdleys' mucking around in the opening chess round, he now HAS to win the boxing by stoppage, otherwise he has essentially already lost the chess, even if he was better at Chess than Myth, and even if he hypothetically does better in every round of boxing but doesn't get the stoppage. It's kind of weird... more of a sport where you survive not having the fight stopped, and then make moves quicker than the opponent and win via the timer, long before a checkmate is in sight. Okay in the 2nd round of chess, Myth is speeding up. Even if he doesn't take any pieces, he'll still win the chess if there's no stoppage in the boxing. 21:09 - Okay Myth could win the chess match right here and not go to another boxing round if he wanted to. Quick moves, Cherley runs out of time before the boxing starts. Wait a bunch of time got added... I'm lost lol. Either way yea it seem Myth doesn't wanna win through chess before the boxing rounds are all done. I think Myth likely won the boxing rounds. The commentators kept responding to a big right-hook from Cherdley, but it actually glanced off Myth's shoulder and did nothing.
