Berto vs. Quintana RBR

Round 11

Caballero denying Yordan the clinch now as he'd done a few times before, simply rolling off the smaller man's body with his left shoulder and upper arm. Yordan is now barking like Juan Diaz while throwing punches with both hands until his momentum has him pressed facefirst into Caballero's chest. Caballero rolls his eyes and pushes him off. Caballero lets Yordan walk straight into him and back him into the ropes, and Yordan lands glancing blows with each hand. Caballero pulls a Toney impression in dodging subsequent attacks. Caballero is letting Yordan lean into his long left arm and takes a breath, then opens up with things like quintuple hookercuts and triple jabs (all landing).

109-99 Caballero

 

Round 12

Yordan does give an effort, reaching up toward the cranial target (as body work would be a futile investment at this juncture). Caballero is too slippery and is responding with too many of his own good shots. Caballero loses his footing momentarily and gets tagged a little, but recovers and backs into a spot near the corner. Yordan jumps on him but doesn't land much in the follow-up barrage. Caballero goes back to slapping Yordan's body. Yordan ties him up until break is called, then ties up again. Caballero shimmies and jabs. Yordan tries to clinch and Caballero turns sideways, holds Yordan back with his left, and slaps all the way to the body with his right. What crazy long arms. Caballero finishes off with a smattering of jabs and one final hard right hand down low.

10-9 Caballero.

119-108 Celestino Caballero
