Léo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton & Miguel Ángel García vs. Elio Rojas RBR

Round 1

Redkach is walking into right jabs and hooks as Farmer smoothly & casually stutter-steps on his toes around the Corona logo. Redkach loops a left up at him from behind the rear hip and grazes the chin as Farmer pops up his lead shoulder to intercept. Wild uppercuts by Redkach, ducked & slipped by Farmer with a series of sidelong bows while sunk into a crouch. Quick southpaw jabs by Farmer, hooking off them and throwing occasional left hand leads as he circles past Redkach before he can land anything in return. Slow looping counters from Redkach, not reaching.

10-9 Farmer

 

After this is Malignaggi vs. Bracero, and that will be it for live boxing (even if both these bouts end well inside schedule) until after 9pm EST. The main triple-header is Garcia vs. Rojas followed by Rabchenko vs. Harrison and then Santa Cruz vs. Frampton - so yes, probably around 11pm EST unless the other two come to a premature halting.

 

Round 2

Redkach is pushing his jab across Farmer's neck & shoulder and clapping his left hand roundhouse against Farmer's curled back. Farmer is countering with fast jabs and shooting the left cross on the lateral step, but planting it most often into the waiting palm of Redkach's right mitt, waiting in fixed position every time he retracts his slow probing jab. Redkach pressuring but not able to effectively trap Farmer, who is using quick footwork, pivots, and changing altitudes to keep Redkach missing.

10-9 Farmer

20-18 Farmer

 

...and early on, Farmer was never supposed to go anywhere. (let alone have a string of televised dates over a run of consecutive victories against competition - some of them with decent names - with a combined record of 146-37-10)
