Kazuto Ioka vs. Juan Carlos Reveco II RBR

TKO11!!!!


Budi budi budi!!!

 

:nut

I was right there with them on having Argumedo up through four against Takayama (and I don't even know who the hell Argumedo is, and he's Mexican, not Argentinian, so neither TyC nor I had any stake in him whatsoever) but that is clear homer scoring for JCR.

I could see having given him two or maybe three rounds being generous. No way he took four of the first eight.

 

"*Dab dab* ... D:"

 

Juan Carlos was hell bent on selling it as low, but that was a crock as was plain from the replays (and the GIF provided in timely fashion by the Beast)

 

:good

They say don't hook with a hooker (which isn't meant to be taken just in the literal sense, but as broad aphorism covers any "don't engage in someone else's specialty" type of scenario, in a boxing context or not) but they also do say that fortune is supposed to favor the bold. :hey

That was a bad ass choice by Ioka to commit to staying in Reveco's wheelhouse at medium-close range and ripping his body.

 

Neither of those was low, IMO. Landed crisply on either side of the solar plexus. Either alone could have been a KO shot, and Reveco had to bear the brunt of a two-for-one. :!:

No shame being done in by that pair of uppercuts, but pretending he got hit low was a bit of nonsense.

One really beautiful sequence in there, where Ioka land a double left upper downstairs, then a right, then expertly slips about half a dozen head shots from Reveco bobbing & weaving side to side in rhythmic undulation, then goes right back on the body attack for a moment and reverting to defense at just the right moment to catch Reveco's counter uppercuts on his arms. What terrific boxing.
