Archie Ray Marquez vs. Juan Santiago, 8 rounds @ lightweight Round 1 Santiago uses a strong jab to control the center, while Marquez whips with right hands and slowly takes over on activity. Santiago throws some nice body shots despite his height, but Marquez tags him with some hard straight shots to the face while Santiago has his own hands moving. 10-9 Marquez
Round 2 Santiago uses his long jab again to control range but is pulling it back low and getting hit as a result. Marquez hits him low (clear but unintentional) and Santiago is badly bothered by it. He clutches his nuts and gets ready to rumble and the referee abruptly deducts a point from Marquez before calling for the action to resume. Marquez is pissed and takes it out on Santiago with a flurry of fast headshots. Santiago pushes his head down and gets some space, then throws a nice 1-2. Santiago is now jabbing to the body while Marquez tries to orbit him and drop quick combos from all around. Santiago takes a body shot that is borderline below the belt. Santiago then completely drops his hands and lets Marquez tee off on him for a moment. Santiago is then hurt a moment later and is laid up on the ropes with his forearms protecting him but taking punishment. He is dropped and beats the count just in time for the bell. 10-8 Marquez
Round 3 Marquez walks right out and blasts Santiago with a mean right hand that has him ready to go and Marquez just opens up and forces the standing stoppage.
Tim Coleman vs. Patrick Lopez Round 1 Coleman sticks his left arm out like a stick, and Lopez circles it with his right jabbing hand, fencing with him a bit. Coleman starts trying to work his left hook up high on the taller Lopez, who tries to dip down and land lefts to the body. They stand at mid-range and fence with their opposing jabs, and sporadically one of them will explode with some power out of their rear hand. Coleman throws a combo that catches Lopez turning and off balance and he trips over his own feet but it's ruled a slip. Lopez clinches and hits Coleman on the hip before the break. Lopez lands a left uppercut from mid-range while coming in. Coleman thrusts out his jab while Lopez waits.
Round 2 Coleman sees Lopez coming at him a bit wild and floors him with a counter right cross after shrinking out of the way of the haymakers. Coleman loads up on a big 1-2 after Lopez gets up but it is ducked under. Coleman lands an uppercut and starts to outbox Lopez from long range despite being so much shorter. Coleman is leading with the right, throwing uppercuts to the body, and setting up right crosses to the chin with the jab all while turning with economical footwork and awareness of Lopez' movements. Lopez suddenly comes alive with hard body punches and slams Coleman into the ropes with his southpaw 1-2. Coleman lands a right lead and pushes Lopez away before he can hit him back. 10-8 Coleman
Round 3 Lopez throws hard from the start, missing a lead left and a hard right hook. Coleman is punching right through Lopez's shots, and timing him with sharp, thudding blows. Lopez hits Coleman with a long left hand but Coleman quickly angles off laterally and is back in his pure boxing groove. Lopez tries to time Coleman turning with a right jab, but can't quite catch him. HUGE check uppercut from Coleman has Lopez doing a faceplant and then a chicken dance.
