Alejandro Gonzalez Jr. vs. Karim Guerfi & Javier Maciel vs. Norberto Gonzalez RBR

Round 8

Barrios is jerking each shoulder in toward his opponent and then flinching away from Tinoco when he lunges up with a jab or an overhand right. Barrios is doing a good job making Tinoco overextend coming at him, and slipping most of his punches, with those he doesn't caught on his waiting mitt. Barrios is taking pot shots with his jab at the head. Barrios puts up his right forearm to impale Tinoco running in, then shrugs him back a few steps. Tinoco is switching frenetically now, and throwing big overhands with the back hand (whichever it happens to be at the moment). Tinoco is marching in, switching every few steps, trying his jab, not reaching. Barrios threatens with a right hand, pulling it as soon as Tinoco hops away.

10-9 Barrios

78-74 Barrios

 

Very intelligent performance from Barrios. The 2nd half of this was hardly even recognizable as the counterpart of the far more competitive 1st half once he figured out how to outbox Tinoco.

 

Official cards:

Medellin 78-74
Thompson 78-74
Hillen 78-74

UD for Mario Barrios

 

This crowd loves to boo. :yep

 

I hope the ratings tank and PBC goes chapter 11! :twisted: (if only for blackballing Maciel...he deserves to be televised!!!!)
