Omar Andres Narvaez vs. Cesar Seda RBR

Round 6

Narvaez is in control now, rolling with Seda's jabs and letting them cascade off his shoulder. Narvaez is landing BIG TIME high lefts and right hooks to the face of Seda!! Narvaez is putting on a clinic on how to fight taller boxers. Seda isn't doing anything wrong per se - he just can't keep Narvaez out as he can't find him with his long punches. Narvaez lands a good overhand left as Seda is ducking over to his right. Seda suddenly rallies back with some hard body shots but Narvaez quickly steps out of the pocket and goes back to harrassing Seda from the outside with fast orbiting (complete with dazzling yank-away punch slipping) and pot shots.

10-9 Narvaez

4 rounds to 2 for Narvaez plus the deduction. (me no math so good right now. )

 

Round 7

Narvaez is just making Seda practice his archery and look a fool. Seda is wasting arrow after arrow missing. Narvaez may be looking to let him empty his quiver. Seda gets desperate and drops a low left hand and the ref hollers at him. Seda finally worms his way inside on Narvaez and peppers him against the ropes with lefts and right hooks to the body but Narvaez wriggles loose and gets back out in the open in no time flat. Very fast reflexes from Narvaez as he pulls away from long shot after long shot by Seda. Narvaez is changing directions often and comfortably, his feet planting very firmly and nimbly as he crosses them. Narvaez looking like a ballerina in there, except for the part where his fists are crashing into Seda's head. Very un-ballerina like.

5-2 OAN + point deduction.

OK, a moment to catch up...

68-64 Narvaez

 

Round 8

Seda flurries hard while backing up, wasting a lot of energy as he hits the champ's gloves. Narvaez just keeps walking forward behind his forearms. Swiping left hand by Narvaez misses. Seda throws punches in bunches, just slapping as he jogs away from Narvaez. Double-right-jab to the face gets through for Narvaez. He backs Seda up to the ropes and flurries at him. Seda pushes him off. Narvaez is banging him with hard looping bombs with either hand, coming in from odd diagonal angles out of both his crouch and regular stance. Seda is getting rocked side to side by a lot of these volleys. Seda tries to establish his jab, and catches Narvaez lazily strolling in with a hard left uppercut to the chin. That was his best punch in some time, but Narvaez doesn't even acknowledge it. Narvaez comes forward feinting with his left, pulls it back to load it up and lands it on Seda's chin as he backs up. Seda just keeps flurrying softly on the back foot.


78-73 Narvaez

 

Round 9

Seda leans forward and tries to land a right hook and left uppercut combo. His legs look a bit gooey. Seda uses a lot of movement, running around the ring and popping out long jabs. Narvaez just patiently walks him down, blocking most punches and slipping the rest with quick tilts of his head. Narvaez gets in his chest and shoeshines briefly into it. Narvaez keeps pursuing him across the ring, slipping everything Seda throws except a few body shots and lunging with quick overhand lefts to slap Seda's head and buckle him over in the middle. SEDA ROCKED!! Seda bounces off the ropes and comes flying back toward Narvaez and flops against him, then starts trying to move his head as he backs up. Narvaez hammers him! HARD LEFT HANDS!!! Both have diminished hand speed as fatigue sets in but Narvaez is landing just hard enough to have Seda in trouble!!! Seda is throwing straight up arm punches and not landing a thing.


OOH! Big 1-2 by Seda shortly before the bell!!! Doesn't steal it, though.

10-9 OAN

88-82
