ESPN2 FNF: Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez vs. Giovanni Lorenzo RBR

Round 3

Salazar is moving in and out, tentative. Quintero is slamming big left hooks up high but hitting the back of Salazar's right glove. 1-2 by Salazar, down the pipe. Salazar is caught with a couple of can-opener body shots as he bounces outside after making a pass to deliver a light jab. Salazar is avoiding the hook and ducking or picking off the right hand of Quintero, but not staying close enough to generate much offense himself.

10-9 Salazar

30-27 Salazar

 

He didn't come to lie down, that's for sure. He is hoping to hit a home run with those left hooks.

 

Round 4

Salazar is jabbing and taking lateral hops to his left, grinning as Quintero reaches for him with jabs taking lunging steps and windmilling rights onto the body. Salazar is sticking the jab at mid-range but getting swatted with the left hook, bouncing outside. Salazar is jostling his shoulders as he orbits Quintero, dropping in long right hands and flurrying as he leans in. Big shots wound up by Quintero, missing widely. Salazar is ducking and waiting his turn, attacking with heavily inclined right hands, too high.

10-9 Salazar

40-36 Salazar

 

Teddy Atlas scored it 40-36 to Salazar.

 

Official cards:

Hoyle 39-37

UD for Gary "The California Bear" Salazar

 

Horrible nickname. Just...terrible. He needs to change that.

 

The kid's only twenty. He'll get that first W eventually...and who knows, he might become a super featherweight Don Mouton. (except...without the power...more like a 130lb Zack Page? :!
