Solo Boxeo: Alan Sanchez vs. John Grimaldo y Peter Quillin vs. Dennis Sharpe RBR

On delay.

 

Round 1

Grimaldo introduces a zippy jab, slowly and assuredly walking Sanchez down. Sanchez pauses once every orbit and fires back with low-ducking jabs from outside. Sanchez just barely ducks out of the way of a can-opener hook from Grimaldo - mostly by accident as he was looking to jab the body. Sanchez jabs and moves on the outside, playing keepaway. Grimaldo stalks him and patiently cuts off the ring but doesn't attack. Grimaldo finally sees Sanchez running out of room and nearly trapped on the ropes and starts to position his lead foot in between Sanchez's. Grimaldo is driven back by a quick combo. Sanchez continues to circle outside and throws a dodged right hand.

10-9 Sanchez, by a slight margin.

 

Round 2

Grimaldo is warned for straying a little low. Sanchez dances around outside, and throws low jabs. Grimaldo follows, keeping squared up but not throwing much. Lead right hand from Grimaldo just glances. Sanchez jabs to the body and then lunges forward to clinch as Grimaldo walks him into the ropes. Grimaldo misses another can-opener hook as Sanchez bends backward, nearly sitting on the middle rope. Grimaldo lands a hard jab and keeps coming forward, clinched again. Sanchez lands a lead right that allows him to glide by Grimaldo and start circling wide again. Grimaldo stays with Sanchez as the taller man tries to move up and down one set of ropes looking for an exit. Grimaldo just isn't throwing anything. They each land jabs simultaneously. Sanchez throws an overhand right and they slam together facefirst.

 

Round 3

More can-openers miss from Grimaldo. Sanchez sticks his jab and keeps sashaying around the ring. He shoves Grimaldo hard out of a clinch and Grimaldo stumbles. The referee shakes his finger. Sanchez lands a MASSIVE COUNTER HOOK IN AN EXCHANGE AND GRIMALDO FALLS BACKWARDS, DAZED!!!!! Grimaldo is up but his face is a bloody mess and Sanchez is all over him. Sanchez rips him with hard straight rights and left hooks as Grimaldo tries to grab and/or land something hard in between Sanchez's attacks. Sanchez is leaning to either side and shifting his body out of the way while punching, and rips Grimaldo with another massive counter hook just like the one he scored the KD with.

10-8 Sanchez

 

Round 4

Grimaldo is a bit wild, trying to get to Sanchez now before he can get clipped again. Sanchez waits on the outside and is weary of the free-slugging Grimaldo. They clinch and Grimaldo goes down from a tangle of feet. Grimaldo has a jab and a follow-up can-opener hook ducked. Sanchez jabs low from outside, a'la the first round. Another clinch. Grimaldo is breathing heavily. Another jab and hook off the jab are ducked by Sanchez. Grimaldo misses a wild overhand right and ripped AGAIN with a counter hook. Sanchez is clinging to the ropes and moving quickly, making Grimaldo chase him and countering him from well out of Grimaldo's range. Sanchez uses quick shuffle-steps as he circles along the ropes. Lead right to the body by sanchez.

10-9 Sanchez

 

Round 5

Sanchez throws high, and Grimaldo throws low and they wind up knotted together. After the break they resume the familiar pattern with Grimaldo pressuring without punching (except for some short jabs and missed can openers) and Sanchez staying at a cautious range and leaning down into a few body jabs. Big overhand right from Sanchez that Grimaldo didn't see, and it buzzes him. Sanchez steps in a bit closer now, and jabs Grimaldo in the face (tilting his head away from a Grimaldo jab at the same time). Grimaldo watches Sanchez circle, and throws a lone low jab. Sanchez feints with a hook and throws a quick right hand, but is too far out. Again, Sanchez finds that Grimaldo is able to lean away from the right hand when thrown from so far away. They collide in the middle of the ring, shoulder to shoulder and Sanchez lands a couple of body punches.

10-9 Sanchez

 

Round 6

Sanchez is now staying at mid-range, popping out quick jabs and circumnavigating. Grimaldo is pushing his way inside and trying to swipe at close range but still missing. Sanchez gets back to mid-range and starts trying to land body shots but eats a few jabs when his arms are down low. Sanchez throws a 1-2 and backs Grimaldo up but doesn't land. Grimaldo postures and doesn't throw. Lone jab, misses from Grimaldo. Overhand right backs Grimaldo up, and Sanchez misses the followup hook. Clinch, and Grimaldo tries to decapitate Sanchez with a reaching hook as they push away but Sanchez just stares down his nose at it. Sanchez gets back to boxing on the outside and lands a 1-2 that drags him into a clinch...and another.

10-9 Sanchez

 

Round 7

Sanchez dances around and jabs low. Grimaldo wades in with some bombs trained on Sanchez's chest. Sanchez runs in quick semi-circles around Grimaldo and jabs at him but Grimaldo has started moving his head a little. Sanchez watches him and then jabs low as Grimaldo is throwing an overhand right, leading them into a quick clinch. Grimaldo is trying to hammer Sanchez with an overhand right moving forward but his shorter reach is hampering him. Sanchez lands a HARD 1-2 that drives Grimaldo back and clearly hurt him. They tie up against the ropes and Sanchez goes to work as the ten-second warning clap sounds. Not enough time.

10-9 Sanchez

 

Grimaldo's face is oozing blood in the corner.

 

Round 1

Grimaldo jabs high, trying to get Sanchez backed up to the ropes, and walks right into a right hand that wobbles his head. Sanchez keeps boxing on the outside, jabbing low and ducking can openers. Grimaldo tosses out some chest-level loops and is drawn into a clinch, before Sanchez starts ducking and jabbing him from outside again. Grimaldo's face is burst open again, pouring dark blood all the way down to his chin. Grimaldo is DOWN once more with a left hook to the ear out of a clinch!!! He is up but looks rough, with his nose busted and his mouth open and slightly glassy. Sanchez pesters him with some whipping shots but can't KO him.

 

Obviously, Alan "Puas" Sanchez wins a wide UD...


The scores are:

80-70
79-72
78-72

 

On to the next one...

Round 1

Kid Choc jabs confidently into Sharpe's body. Sharpe tries to keep a high guard, held very close and almost plastered to his face and obscuring his vision. Kid Choc starts putting together quick, high-arcing overhand rights with his jab. WOAH! Nice body hook/right cross to the chin combo by Kid Choc. Sharpe is just eating jabs nonstop now; his eye is already puffed up. Kid Choc blasts him with a quick lead right. Three punch combo lands as Kid Choc nearly maneuvers Sharpe into a corner. Sharpe is rocked by a right and looks to have been cut. Sharpe throws some combined power punches of his own but the speed advantage here is outrageous. Kid Choc easily ducks four big shots at point blank.

10-9 Quillin

 

Round 2

Quillin jabs and Sharpe looks to close his open-thumbed glove around the shots to slow them down. Quillin lights him up with a few quick straight punches moving forward and the crowd oohs and ahhs. Sharpe hangs back cautiously, and rightfully so - every time he throws a 1-2 he is countered hard and nearly given whiplash. Sharpe drops his hands to his sides and circles out to the ropes, where he leans back and tries to rope-a-dope but is pitiful ineffective. Quillin is showing a bit of respect, strangely enough - working his way in very carefully and moving out after landing a few shots.

20-18 Q
