ESPN2 FNF Jhonson vs. Ramos RBR

Round 5

Solomon dancing around. Galarza no-nonsense, waiting for Solomon in the center of the ring rather than wasting wind. Solomon orbits Galarza and tattoos his forearms with leather. Solomon very slick in his movement but does occasionally drop his hands while still a bit too close for comfort. Galarza eats an upperhook counter as he slow-jabs in. Galarza sticks his left hand out to gauge distance and Solomon loops his own around it with a little check hook as he skips sideways.

50-45 Solomon

 

Round 6

Solomon standing in front of Galarza and simply blasting away, overwhelming him with handspeed rather than potshotting and resuming defensive posture. He does go back to his circling after a while. Galarza tries some underhand rips to the belly and clips the groin area. The ref takes a point - fair play, Galarza had multiple stern warnings. Galarza comes out aggressive and gets his face reddened for his trouble. He does sneak a few shots in (mostly downstairs) but is getting countered brutally. Solomon's accuracy going up quite a bit, thanks to Galarza's reckless aggression. Solomon leaps in with a lead hook and Galarza grabs him, then fires a few short wrist-snap hooks into Solomon's cheek.

60-54 Solomon

 

Round 7

It's getting physical now. A lot of leaning, a lot of pushing off with elbows and forearms from both guys. No actual clinches per se, so the ref is letting them work through it. Punches are just not really on the menu this round. Oh, there's a little amuse bouche from Galarza in the form of a pawed jab. Solomon backs into the ropes to invite Galarza in, facefirst, with a lead hook as a welcome mat. Galarza throws incredibly slow power shots, his arms look leaden. He lowblows Solomon again but the ref doesn't see it. Galarza tries a 1-2 from well outside of range. Solomon is able to punish him, firing his longer arms over the stubs and scoring.

70-63 Solomon
