Assorted Israel Vázquez Castañeda Fights, GC's Standalone RBR Scorecards.

Round 2: Larios 10-9

Vásquez immediately getting inside, only to smother himself and be split. Back to stalking, showing patience. Vásquez pressing forward, only to take some nice shots from Óscar, the left hook catching Izzy a lot. Vásquez landing some nice counter jabs on Óscar who's more eager to trade here, fun action. Vásquez caught by an accidental headbutt, Óscar warned for it by the stern ref. Back to boxing here from Óscar, moving in and out fluidly with a textbook 1-2-3. Vásquez concentrating on an accumulation body attack, the downside being he's taking some hellacious angled punches, be it hooks or uppercuts. The way Óscar is setting up the left hook, after a short, almost lazy right cross has shades of Ol' Ezz.

 

I well and truly have no idea what's you're on about...

 

In fairness, I know more about obscure nieche fighting folk who were irrelevant well before I was born than I do anything else.

 

Round 3: Larios 10-9

Vásquez still moving in, easily hit. Larios boxing cutely to kick it off, wining(yes - the correct verb. )in the occasional looper and working his jab. As the clock progressed, he started hooking off the jab more as well trying his luck with the odd uppercut again. Vásquez burrowing through the onslaught to find Óscar's body and exchange hooks. The further into the round, the more Larios stood his ground. Vásquez taking the opportunity to remind him not to.

 

What the ****? Vásquez landed more in round 3?

 

Round 4: Larios 10-9

Starting off rather peacefully. Vásquez closing the gap easier now, keeping his chin tucked and weaving through a wave of jabs like a master quilter feeding thread through a sewing machine, and then BAM! He threads the needle and lands a huge(more like average sized) flurry of body shots, which I'm overrating to emphasize my amazing simile! Óscar landing his jab more as Vásquez held his feet. Larios trading again, landing some lovely hooks and short rights. Chololo Charles loves his uppercut! Vásquez losing his momentum here, Óscar's skills took it away from him, the defence let him out-land Izzy fairly easily. Blistering exchanges to close it out.

40-36 Larios.

 

Round 5: Larios 10-9

Same patterns here, Vásquez coming forward, unsuccessfully. Chololo showing his head-movement, the wannabe Half-Mexican Slickster... Chololo Charles tryna out 'olo the original Cholo (what the **** did I even say? Try that 10 times, fast. ) Vásquez missing more than Óscar is throwing... Larios countering well whilst moving, parrying Vásquez's offence now too. Vásquez more successful now, working the body well, Óscar backing up but not well as Izzy holds on and gets another couple sharp ones under the stairs. Vásquez letting Óscar off the hook a bit here, no matter. Larios moving again, out-hustling Izzy for the remainder of the round. Unsheathing a plethora of snappy 1-2s again though.

 

Under what circumstance did they give round 5 to Izzy?

 

I'll have a gander after this one. Although I'm probably gonna go bed when I've finished it. It is my first impression, aside from the haNZAgod highlights(I had to have SOME idea of him after all), but Chololo seems really good here, he also looked sharp in the other two, too.

 

Round 6: Larios 10-9

Larios boxing swell on toes whilst firing off chained jabs with expeditious power shots afterwards. Same ****, different round here; Vásquez ploughing through bomb after bomb to get to the body, unsuccessful at large whilst Larios moved brilliantly. A key thing DID happen here though, Vásquez cornered Larios here for the first time, although he was unable to press his advantage. Both men looking tired, specifically Izzy. Óscar finishing up with another sharp, meteoric 1-2-3.
