Luis Collazo vs. Samuel Andrés Vargas Ariza & Michael Conlan vs. Rubén García Hernández RBR

Round 7

García Hernández is getting rocked even by the right jabs now as Conlan presses in, still lightly floating on his toes, but hunching forward and shooting off the hip, landing with either hand on the mouth before García Hernández is able to even begin his own punching motion, keeping him more or less petrified. Conlan showing no respect, just unloading anywhere between 1-4 straight punches from either stance (changing every few revolutions) and then stepping around García Hernández with both arms down. García Hernández tries jabbing and hooking at him from medium-long range but can't get his aim down.

10-9 Conlan

70-63 Conlan

 

Yeah. Blah.

 

If this wasn't St. Patrick's Day @ MSG it would be ridiculous for this fight to be the main event.

 

Round 8

García Hernández is completely befuddled as Conlan dances figure-eights around him, working shallow left uppercut leads into the stomach dropping into a forward lunge on his bent right knee, and then straightening back outside. Conlan tossing high right backhanded jabs into the forehead and eyes of García Hernández, then popping more lefts into the stomach. Nothing from García Hernández able to reach as Conlan tracks his way around him, always bouncing in place a few times before García Hernández has even taken a step toward him. Whipping right hand across the back of the neck by Conlan as García Hernández tries a pair of hopeless blind overhands diving in. Conlan with a lead right, jab, another right. Looping rights on the body from Conlan. Left uppercut on the face, another on the chest by Conlan.

10-9 Conlan

80-72 Conlan

 

Being stopped by this buck-toothed pussy would in one fell swoop cancel out all the pride that García Hernández must have felt at going twelve against Nonito Donaire.

 

Round 9

Conlan is jabbing the face and sticking the left hand into the solar plexus from outside. García Hernández can't do anything to him offensively and has yet to fully block or slip a single jab. Conlan is hooking with the right, clattering off the upper scalp of García Hernández. Conlan is warned for a clash of heads as they clinch with Conlan jumping in to catch García Hernández. Conlan putting on heavy pressure now, ducking in low, very close to García Hernández and kneading the belt line with both hands. Conlan switches orthodox and dances outside, slapping a García Hernández left jab aside with his own left hand.

10-9 Conlan

90-81 Conlan

 

Not in the least, no.

 

Round 10

García Hernández is swinging and missing with the left hook, putting himself into a tailspin and then grabbing onto Conlan, letting the contents of his dizzied, shaken-snowglobe brain settle. Conlan is plugging lefts on the body and letting himself get snagged into wrestling matches with García Hernández. Both men looking sloppy and ineffective. Conlan able to connect on a few right jabs in the pocket before circling out to his left. García Hernández thrusts in and saws the neck and shoulder of Conlan with a few lefts jabs, maybe getting a small piece of his lower mandible as well.

10-9 Conlan

100-90 Conlan

 

Collazo and Vargas put on a mildly entertaining and interesting (albeit sloppy) match, for two guys that don't factor in the least into the current welterweight scene in a fight the result of which literally nobody cares about.

But yeah, otherwise..
