Vanes Martirosyan vs. Demetrius Andrade & Miguel Angel Garcia vs. Roman Martinez RBR

Round 7

Martirosyan is getting stifled by the right jab of Andrade, zapped with it and held frozen now whenever he opens up with his left jab or the lead right. Martirosyan is stopping and pulling his punches when he sees the quick jab of Andrade emerging from the chamber. Andrade is circling to his right casually, right arm held very low and relaxed, smoothly jabbing up and then covering his face with both arms. Martirosyan is firing straight rights and left hooks at the body of Andrade but getting blocked on the elbows. The force of the blows is still nearly doubling Andrade over despite not getting through cleanly.

10-9 Andrade

67-65 Andrade

 

Punch distribution halfway through:

Andrade 109 head 19 body 128 total

Martirosyan 46 head 17 body 62 total

 

Steve Weisfeld has it 68-65 to Andrade.

 

I did, reluctantly. :conf

It's a flashy style without much substance to it, but you can win rounds with just defense and numerous light jabs. The onus is on Martirosyan to close the gap and land his power shots (on legal scoring areas), which he isn't doing consistently enough. Some good body work late in the 7th, but it wasn't quite enough to steal it.
