Berto vs. Quintana RBR

Round 4

Larry Merchant states that Caballero (also a musical artist) has a hit in Panama called "She Wants A Spanking" and that it is now dedicated to Daud Cino Yordan. :rofl

Yordan bobbing and weaving, feinting from the outside, and trying to get close enough to hurt Caballero. All he manages to do is tie Caballero up, as Caballero gets off more quickly (and accurately) almost every time. This is a very clinchy round. Caballero takes advantage of openings for the uppercut as Yordan reaches out to grab, and then goes to work on the body when the hands come up in response. Yordan goes back to standing in a turtle shell and watching Caballero.

10-9 Caballero.

40-35

 

Round 5

Yordan throws his full body weight into a lead right hand but it falls short, low, and askew. Caballero keeps his long arms whipping against Yordan as the smaller man tries to cleave to him. Uppercuts and body shots, all night. Yordan starts a clinch, then breaks it, and eats a few jabs. Yordan slaps a wide hook at the right glove protecting Caballero's chin. Caballero boxes and moves, now crouching down to jab at Yordan's level. Yordan walks forward behind his erect forearms and Caballero tees off without obliging the invitation to tie up.

10-9 Caballero.

50-44

 

Round 6

Yordan comes at Caballero jabbing with his body turned sideways...Caballero simply catches him and looks to the ref to break the clinch. Yordan goes for broke and steps forward behind a sequence of punches, moving his feet and hands simultaneously; Caballero slips most of the shots and counters while gliding backwards. Yordan is finally backed off with a gavel-like right to the body. Yordan continues to bore in under Caballero and Caballero pushes his head down and backs up. Yordan's nose now leaking plasma. Caballero leans his left shoulder against the advancing Yordan and brings a short uppercut into his chin - blinked off. Yordan answers with a hook of his own - blinked off.

10-9 Caballero.

60-53

 

A little from column A and a little from column B.

Caballero mostly fought at a lower weight...and he's not really turning a lot of these punches over for power.

Yordan also seems durable (especially in the middle).
