Escobedo won the last two rounds with his jab and uppercut. Hernandez might not get up off his stool on this ne. His eye is ****ED. 4-4 with a point in favor of Escobedo.
Escobedo is handing himself well for this being his biggest fight and a really important one. I think he can stop Famoso soon.
Escobedos took over this round, 2 more to go .................i like Escodos chances of stopping El FAmosito if he fights like he did in round 8
Trainer says it's a 1 point difference - may be close on scorecards, but further apart and who's ready to go..
Surprisingly they're going to let Hernandez continue. I don't think it'll make it out of this round. Hernandez looks desperate and explodes out of the corner onto Escobedo. Escobedo still using that Beristain uppercut now and his jab is pushing Hernandez around. Doug Fischer is crying about a stoppage. The doctor checked it, said it was alright. That's it. Stop bitching you crybaby. Escobedo is still using that jab and uppercut primarily and El Famoso is getting pushed backwards. Escobedo looks set to just jab his way to the end of the fight. Not a bad idea especially in terms of leaning on the fly. Escobedo's jab is very good when he wants to use it.
Escobedo should go in for the kill and not be satisfied to go to the scorecards. Eye looks bad for Famoso!
NASTY hook rocks Hernandez. Jesus that should've knocked him out. Round ends with Hernandez wobbling to his corner. The last round of El Famoso's career coming up. 5-4 Escobedo with a point extra for the KD.
El Famoso is certainly game and god bless him for that. Oh jesus RIGHT HAND hurts Escobedo! Escobedo recovers quickly and is looking to finish off Hernandez now. Right hook checks Escobedo. Escobedo getting baited into a war and he's doing it. Escobedo strafed with a big right and Hernandez is trying to cover up now. 1-2 seriously rocks Hernandez. Hernandez hurt again with a left hook. Hernandez trying to muscle Escobedo around but nothing doing. 30 seconds in the round and the crowd gives Hernandez a standing ovation. Hernandez and Famoso are just brawling now as the round ends. Thank you El Famoso. 6-4 with a point means Vincente Escobedo survives his toughest fight ever.
