Round 6

Rios comes forward, gloves up. Lumacad slides back and jabs. Chopping right to the body diving in by Rios. Another stance switched by Rios, to southpaw. Briefly. Back to orthodox. Clinch, and Rios works the body. Hard rips up close by Rios. Lumacad backs up and jabs. Rios hooks his way in after him. Lumacad tosses a counter 1-2 to the body while ducking some hooks and tries to hold Rios off a beat with his glove. Rios is chopping his way in but eating jabs. Now Rios lands his own jab. Quick overhand right by Lumacad clips Rios on the side of the head. Rios is applying pressure but doing more grappling than hitting once he gets inside.

10-9 Lumacad

58-54 Lumacad

 

He had Narvaez beating Donaire, FFS, mainly because Donaire didn't do what everyone expected him to do. He scores fights based on expectations.

 

Mighty Joe Rios needs to score a pair of knockdowns of his own in the 7th/8th just to get a draw on my card.

 

Alright guys, enough ganging up on Bama.

Watch the boxing.

nah just found it. he had it 115-113 . I had it the same score as IB 116-112. And honestly that is the MOST you can give Narvaez.

 

Round 7

Lumacad boxes and moves, not really taking any chances or trying to close the show. Jabs and wide circling or backing up. Rios lunges after him with soaring up-jabs and rights to the body. Lumacad has only thrown jabs off the back foot and not landed many. Rios has barely touched him, just a couple of body shots but honestly more than Lumacad got in a very slow round.

Sheridan is inclined to give it to Rios on activity. I tend to agree. (for what little good it does him)

10-9 Rios

67-64 Lumacad

 

I didn't have Narvaez beating Donair, I had the fight being close though, I think I had Naveaz winning 5 rounds.

Either way I stand by my cards, I don't run away from them. Get on my level chumps.

This fight is pretty weak though.

 

Arena is still pretty empty

 

Any idea how many fights are on the card in total?

 

Nope.

Round 8

Lumacad is again doing a "DLH late against Tito" impersonation. Running, running, running...barely jabbing. Rios takes a pair of hard chopping swings trying to cut the ring off and walk Lumacad into the ropes. Their arms bang together and they wind up clasped until Robert Byrd gets between them. Rios comes forward jabbing to the body and head. Lumacad flees before the hard-marching Mexican. Long jab by Lumacad on the back foot, just grazes Rios' forehead. Lumacad darts in with a flurry and misses badly as Rios takes a half step back. Rios slaps a jab atop Lumacad's head and then grabs him close to work the body with his right. Again Rios is out hustling the Filipino. Jab by Lumacad. Right hand by Lumacad misses. Jab, jab, chopping overhand right by Rios. Lumacad is dancing and running around the ring. Lumacad flurries to the body, shoe-shining as Rios gets atop him. Chopping overhand right by Lumacad before circling off to the left. Rios hunts him down, heading him off by the ropes and then eating a jab as Lumacad escapes off to the side. Lumacad keeps running. Body shots traded at the bell.

10-9 Rios

76-74 Lumacad

Even in rounds (4 apiece), the knockdowns for Lumacad made the difference.

 

Bob Sheridan had it 79-72 for Lumacad.
