Tua vs. Ahunanya RBR

Round 1

Garcia sticks his jab out Wladimir Klitschko style, keeping it extended toward Smith's head as a measuring stick. Smith ducks under the jab and pops Garcia on the chin but is pushed back with a short hook. Smith grabs Garcia's arms and tucks them down, pushing the taller man into a corner and hitting him in the shoulders. The ref is not breaking them up, letting them work it out themselves. Garcia walks him down (Smith not hard to find or very slick on his feet) with a lead hook which is the final significant shot of the round.

10-9 Garcia

 

Round 2

Smith is now committing to the body, and shoeshines on the beltline. Garcia goes down to his hands and knees and glares as though hit low. The ref begins a count but abandons it - it's not clear whether the final ruling was KD or foul. Smith comes into a Muay Thai style clinch and holds Garcia's forearms pinned to his chest, but not doing much work on the inside. As they separate Garcia buzzes him with a right hand that he didn't see coming. Garcia backs him across the ring and pounds away. Smith goes down but collapses on Garcia and knocks him backwards flat. The ref doesn't rule a KD. They get back up and Garcia clubs away at a shelled-up Smith, who goes down again and is this time given a count.

I'm calling it 10-8 for Garcia. I don't know what the hell was up with that count that was started after the low blow.

 

Garcia got starched back-to-back by Arreola and then Boytsov. I can see why, he's a plodder, short of breath, and can't infight. He is pretty handily winning against this Smith guy, however.

Round 3

The official has disqualified Brett Smith just a few moments into the action apparently for thrusting his shoulder at Garcia. :?

edit: replay: yeah, he gored him in the belly (held the top rope with both gloves and drove his shoulderblade into Garcia's gut). This isn't wrestling. Not a bad call by the ref. WTF was Smith thinking??

 

Israel Garcia just called out Cameron.

"Shane...Shane, where you at? Oh he probably in the bathroom".

:rofl

He seems a nice dude but would get KTFO by Cameron, IMO.

 

Jameson Bostic vs. Oscar Siale, cruiserweights

Round 1

Bostic unfurls his long wiry arms into a snappy right jab. Siale throws a wild side-hand hook that Bostic easily backs away from. Sheridan makes a very good observation about Bostic - he's stepping out with his lead foot and then planting it, limiting how much sting he can put on his jab as he's pushing it from his rear foot. He then, however, claims it was a difficult round to score (it wasn't). Bostic landed several jabs and to my eyes Siale didn't get anything in that Bostic didn't slip or roll from.

10-9 Bostic

 

Round 2

Siale is chasing Bostic around, with no ring-cutting. Bostic jabs over his head and Siale clutches his midsection. They break and Siale gets a few shots in on the way out. Bostic hits Siale with a long left and then starts throwing both hands in an awkward rhythm. Siale survives the round with earmuffs on.

20-18 Bostic
