Francisco Javier Vargas Peláez vs. Roderick A. Salka, Jr. & Aidar Sharibayev vs. Andrew Canció RBR

Slow motion replay shows a downward-slashing Muay Thai elbow/headbutt double-foul combo from Caballero during an exchange seeming to initiate the cut on Rodriguez.

 

Just in time for...uh, that. Whatever that anticlimactic BS was.

 

Technical draw is the ruling.

 

Oh well, his undefeated, untied record is down the tubes. If he can fight that will probably cost him half-a milli over the course of his career.

Poor guy.

 

Salka had enough

 

René Alvarado is on a nice run lately, would like to see a rematch between him and Canció. (they fought in 2015 in a sleeper FOTY candidate, ending it a cuts stoppage win for Canció, with Alvarado down once)

 

I'm not sure being 0-0-1 is any worse for a guy's marketability than being 0-0-0-1 (had it been ruled a NC) - the most important thing is the zero value in the L column, no?

 

Bernardo, you savage, please stop referring to Kingry's last opponent as "Fernando NOT-FEROZ Vargas"

 

Yeah, close, but 29-0-0 is unblemished, with 29-0-1 the announcer has to go through a 3 minute explanation at the stare down with the details and results of the rematch (which there will be). It just doesn't sound the same or look the same on the marquis.

 

True, with No Contests the ring announcers usually just omit them entirely from the verbal proclamations of the record. (although most TV graphics do include them)

So where do you place Canico now that the dust has settled, Butt? Potential top ten in his division?

Eh, he'd be lucky to crack top 15 and he's no sure thing against Dardan Zenunaj next month.

 

Ace job on finally getting back to me.
