Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Sergey Fedchenko & Brandon Rios vs. Richard Abril RBR

2-2

 

I hope Abril keeps this up, and it goes to the cards. I'll be very interested in seeing how they have it.

We'll see though, still got quite a ways a way.

 

That's maybe going a bit far. :yep

 

Round 4

40 - 36 Abril

Abril picking Rios apart and for right now atleast putting on a boxing clinic. On the inside Abril ties him up and smothers him, his jab is starting to keep him at bay and confusing him with his rights to the head and to the body.

 

Slick > Brawler

 

Abril dominating the action so far. Rios better invest in some body work to slow him down later.

 

I hate to say no way Rios wins tonight Abril is the wrong match up for him this kid knows how to fight him.

 

Abril should use his reach with his jab, avoid the clinch,stop that shoulder Floyd style

 

rd 4= Abril rd.....3-1 Abril

39-37 Abril


Rios is DAMN LUCKY it's not Gamboa in there, he'd get massacred by Gamboa!!!!

 

Great defense from Abril. Years of Cuban boxing know how and experience..

 

Looks like my call on the underdog is coming through, wished i put some vcash on this.

 

:yep

 

Lol yeah. I was just mainly referring to the way he's giving the shoulder and keeping the right hand up while he's in close.

 

Round 5

Abril lands a slapping hook on the outside while backtracking. Rios comes forward and gets held, and lands some clubbing hooks up close. Body taps by Rios. Drakulich splits them and Rios plods ahead. Abril leans back against the ropes and "gives up his shoulder" as the commentator says - giving Rios a long inclined plane of bicep to throw against as a barrier. Right hands by Abril backing out. Sharp jabs. Rios tries to slug his way in. Body shots thrown with power. Abril gives him that "cold shoulder" again, leaning away and tilting back while raising and ramping his left upper arm. Abril dances around and jabs.

49-46 Abril

 

abril won't get the decision
