FNF: Delvin Rodriguez vs. Ashley Theophane & Donovan George vs. Francisco Sierra RBR

The action is right around the corner at 9pm EST. :good

Tune in early as the co-feature could end in a hurry.

 

We're about to find out. Right now BK is hyping up Klitschko-Peter II and Marquez-Diaz II.

 

That's my guess too, but some people have mentioned looking forward to seeing Andy Lee on this card...so it could be they're showing that fight (8 rounds) and then George-Sierra and Rodriguez-Theophane (both 10 rounds). It would just about fit the time slot. :think

Edit: Nope, we were right - George-Sierra is about to start.

 

Round 1

They begin to hover around the middle of the ring trading shots from mid-range. Sierra slaps with both fists with his feet squared up and George presses him with jabs and hooks, and whipping right hands when Sierra's stance narrows. George is buzzed by a combination from Sierra and covers up in the corner. Sierra again lands a 1-2-3, and a lone hook a few moments later.

10-9 Sierra

 

Round 2

George advances with his jab and then shells up while Sierra flurries back at him but does not seize much ground. Sierra throws a lazy bait jab and waits for George to open up over it, and then counters with an overhand right and a left hook. They clinch up and each smash upwards at the armpit of their opponent with little other arm mobility available. George feints as he comes forward, spinning his fists. Sierra throws a soft 1-2 that George blocks before dropping his hands; Sierra then blasts him with some wide windmill shots that have George retreating to a corner. Sierra chases him down and continues to hammer him, until he staggers to the opposite corner and is held up by the turnbuckle. George clinches and survives the round.

20-18 (but the referee could have easily called that a 10-8 round which would have made it 20-17)

 

Round 3

George comes out punching, advancing now behind the 1-2. Sierra lays on the ropes and slips, trying to catch George with light counters on the inside as he comes in. George continues to push ahead with a hard 1-2 but it is picked off by the gloves of Sierra before it can touch his body. Sierra just calmly circles away from the powerful right hand of George and jabs at him. George catches him with one up high but doesn't rush in. Body shot by Sierra. They trade at the bell and George staggers yet again. A jab snaps the head of George back at a grotesque angle at the bell.

30-27 Sierra
