Round 1

Sanchez is circling left and right, dropping the right jab down on Sosa's face. Sosa waves the left hook up top after trotting in, but can't find anywhere to pin Sanchez down in the extra large ring.

10-9 Sanchez

 

Round 2

Sanchez keeps replicating the pattern, boxing on the outside and keeping Sosa under his left knuckle tips. Sosa is using clever tricks attempting to cut the space but neither his jab feints nor his varied foot speeds are fooling Sanchez or causing him to alter his rigid game plan of circling and roping out long jabs.

10-9 Sanchez

20-18 Sanchez

 

Round 3

Sanchez is hunching down low, swinging in wide rights to the body and looking to clamber up Sanchez's chest with hooks. Sanchez keeps his cool, backing out and lining up jabs and 1-2s into the forehead of Sosa.

10-9 Sanchez

30-27 Sanchez

 

Sanchez already lost the IBF super flyweight title on the scales. It is on the line for Sosa only.

 

Round 4

Sanchez is scoring with more and more accuracy as Sosa comes bowing into him with gloves clasped like a humble monk in a beseeching pose. Wild overhands by Sosa, leaving him open to shredding counters from Sanchez. Straight lefts to the body and right hooks to the head by Sanchez as Sosa lolls his upper body around like a swizzle-stick. Sosa's jerky attempts at slickness do limit the number of clean shots Sanchez scratches him with, but the edge is still considerable in the would-be defending champion's favor.

10-9 Sanchez

40-36 Sanchez

 

Round 5

Sanchez is landing the left hand lead from outside as Sosa barrels in with a wavy tomahawk jab and some vaguely arcing rights. Very little cohesion to Sosa's attack now, just looking to get his licks in while accepting that Sanchez is tattooing him with the right jab from outside along the way. Sosa is leaping in with body shots, and that has some effect on Sanchez. He clinches. Break. Sanchez slides his feet back and drills a left to the body. Hard combo to the face by Sanchez, finishing with a jarring right hook. Sosa keeps approaching without showing any fear.

10-9 Sanchez

50-45 Sanchez

 

Round 6

Sanchez is skewering Sosa with the 1-2 and even finding ample room to land double right hooks from outside as Sosa guilelessly dives in with predictable rights to the body. Sanchez hops to his right and unloads a straight combination on Sosa's face while resting his back on the ropes. Sosa is throwing hard rights to the body, nearly pulling his arm from its socket, carrying himself forward almost faster than he can adjust balance, but all for naught. Sanchez is moving too much for him, and is able to use him for a clay pigeon with that long jab and straight left. Sosa briefly threatens Sanchez on the ropes, flailing some hooks at him, but Sanchez gets away with a right shovel hook and a quick step to the right.

10-9 Sanchez

60-54 Sanchez

 

Round 7

Sanchez is taking more risks, laying on the ropes and getting pasted with some high-reaching right hands as Sosa springs up off his heels, but landing hook and uppercut combos even more plentifully than before. Sanchez may be seeking a stoppage to make a statement, putting the head of the tough unbeaten Argentine on the end of a pike outside the city walls for the rest of the division to see. Sanchez is playing a dangerous game here, still getting the better of the action but handing Sosa more available spots to land on a silver platter. Sanchez lets his butt sag on the middle ropes, rolling with some thudding Sosa rights and left hooks, and slides along them for some give before vaulting off and fighting clear with body and head combos.

10-9 Sanchez

70-63 Sanchez

 

Round 8

Sanchez is putting the right jab into Sosa's eye. Sosa throws hard right hands in toward Sanchez's chest and leaps in past them with left hooks aimed for the faraway chin. Sanchez counters with a straight left, and holds Sosa in place with an awkward avuncular right hand resting on his shoulder. Sosa is staying in close, taking whatever Sanchez gives him. Right hands clip Sanchez on the mouth as he dances away. Every time Sanchez lays back on the ropes now, it's Sosa getting the best of it. Sanchez is too weary to be playing this game. His body isn't cooperating. His reflexes and reaction times are dulled. He isn't consistently being first or last anymore.

10-9 Sosa

79-73 Sanchez

 

Rosas is a monster, one of Mexico's best kept secrets in boxing.

He was supposed to challenge Narvaez, actually. Orucuta was a replacement.
