Merlito Sabillo vs. Francisco Rodriguez Jr. & Jorge Paez Jr. vs. Vivian Harris RBR

Round 5

Rodriguez is still bombing away on the hapless Sabillo.

10-9 Rodriguez

50-44 Rodriguez

 

Tarjeta Lamazon - 50-44 Rodriguez.

 

Round 6

Savage hook and right combos by Rodriguez. Sabillo tries fending him off with his own combos but is simply overpowered.

10-9 Rodriguez

60-53 Rodriguez.

 

WBC + WBO Mexican unification next :think

I don't know the result, just read this is delayed :wall

 

Round 7

Rodriguez is laying a beating on the Filipino, proving entirely too much for him, even turning southpaw and dominating with a right jab for stretches. Sabillo is having a hard time keeping his eyes focused at this point, but is brave and has the desire if not ability to keep defending what's his.

10-9 Rodriguez

70-62 Rodriguez

 

Round 8

Rodriguez is pounding Sabillo's face into pulp with the left hook and straight & looping rights. Sabillo can't run, duck, block or dodge enough of these punches, taking heaps of abuse.

10-9 Rodriguez

80-71 Rodriguez

 

Tarjeta Lamazon - 80-71 to Rodriguez.

 

Round 9

Rodriguez is shoving off all of Sabillo's increasingly frequent grabbing attempts, hitting with both hands until Sabillo can do nothing but flee. Sabillo tries stalling with some low blows but Rodriguez walks through and stays focused on applying pressure and dealing punishment.

10-9 Rodriguez

90-80 Rodriguez

 

Didn't like that stoppage, but Sabillo was overmatched.

 

Round 10

Rodriguez is bullying Sabillo into the ropes, drilling him with both hands, straight punches thrown with bad intentions, and the ref jumps in!

TKO10!!!

...and the new!!!

 

WBC + WBO Mexican unified champion soon :boxer

 

vivian looking every bit of his 35

 

Rodriguez Vs. Sabillo was a non stop WAR, I got tired watching that fight... whoa
Sabillo is made of ****en Adamantium what a warrior.

Classic fight, props to Rodriguez.

Didn't see the Paez/Harris fight but checked the result good win for Vivian secures himself another paycheck for sure, Sucks for Paez Jr.

 

Props to both Rodriguez and Harris. 2 under the radar upsets that nobody else
seems to care about.

The Sabillo/Rodriguez bout was great fun to watch. Props to Rodriguez for
taking the belt from the undefeated Filipino warrior--that dude was tough.

As for Harris, I thought he had a good chance of outboxing Paez Jr but
was more convinced he was going to get KO'd. Props to him for extending
his retirement for at least another fight!

 

How the **** did Harris win this, especially as a late replacement for a replacement or whatever the hell he was.
