Óscar Andrés Rivas vs. Ryan Rozicki & Terry Geffrard Osias vs. Joaquin Adrián Murrieta Lucio RBR

You guys...can we all agree this is the bridgerweight FOTY?

 

Round 10

Rozicki seems to recognize that giving Rivas even a few extra inches of separation is working badly against him, so he returns to smothering. Both clap each other around the guard with heavy looping rights, and both spank each other with roundhouse body shots. Rivas tries shuffling away behind a crisp deterrent jab to set up rangier shots, but Rozicki stays hip to his machinations and thrusts his lead foot out in between Rivas' to stay with him.

10-9 Rozicki, close

95-95

 

Yeah... entering the chips, hangs in the balance for me.

 

Round 11

Rozicki eats some absolutely monstrous shots first walking in, then flopping in as the round wears on and both grow increasingly exhausted. Both impressive as hell - Rivas for digging down deep and finding the werewithal to throw shots this powerful in round 11, and Rozicki for standing up to them. Most dominant Rivas round, but even so Rozicki scores some hard jabs and 1-2s of his own, even with his face getting jacked around at sickening angles, and his nose gushing blood.

10-9 Rivas

105-104 Rivas
