    Escobedo looks very confused. You can almost see it in his eyes that Nacho needs to really pep him up. Nacho says don't forget the hook about 20 times.

    Round 4 begins as Famoso is POWERING Escobedo around the ring. Escobedo needs to use his distance and reach. He's fighting a smaller fight than he should. Famoso is back to bullying Escobedo around. Escobedo measuring Famoso for something big. He needs to stay away and use his natural skills. Everytime Famoso bulls in, he's suckered in. Escobedo initiates a clinch on the ropes.

    This fight is all about distance and who has the proper distance to get off.

    Vincentre moving and trying to muscle Escobedo. Vincente back to using space with a decent jab. Still trying to time Famoso. Famoso nails a nice uppercut to the gut to Escobedo. Hernandez is beating Escobedo to the punch now. He's got Escobedo hurt now after a body punch. Escobedo holds on and then gets free. Body punches hurting Escobedo. Escobedo taking this round off a bit? Round ends with a nice Escobedo flurry.

    I still give it to Famoso though.

    3-2 Escobedo.

    Exactly. He's allowing Famoso to bully him and force him out of his range. When he keeps distance and fights from a counter distance, he's fine. Otherwise he's letting Famoso do what he wants.

    Escobedo is dialing it up and trying to push the pace n the inside. Hernandez is trying to bully and Escobedo is trying to sneak in something hard before hernandez can establish things. Hernandez with some tough body pounches on Escobedo. Escobedo JUST misses with a big left hand. Escobedo JUST misses with an uppercut. Hernandez is bullying Escobedo and Vincente is trying to get away and box Hernandez. Hernandez is ROCKED with a body punch!

    Down goes Escobedo!

    Is the crowd wrecking Escobedo's confidence? Can't wait to see this... these threads always get me even more pumped up for the free recast.

    In one of those cute little vet tricks, He lands a body punch and shoves Vincente down. Sneaky devil you.

    Surprisingly I thought that was a 10-9 round. Vincente did some great stuff that round before the knockdown.
