Anselmo Moreno vs. Javier Nicolas Chacon RBR

Terrible officiating the ref deducts a pts from Moreno for a called low blow that was clean. Chacon pressed and again was hurt badly to the body and stunned with the heavy right hooks to the head that Moreno disguised as body shots. Moreno unloaded on him with rights and lefts body and head after the initial surged and pretty much manhandled him the rest of the round

10 - 9 (-1pt moreno) 9 - 9 Moreno
99 - 88 Moreno

 

Moreno having his way. A hard left to the body sends Chacon crying and trying to beg the ref again for a penalty. Moreno jumps on him with a right and the ref breaks and issues a command that I don't understand. They resume and Moreno just boxes and moves with him, targeting the body hard with right hooks and lefts and Chacon is no longer pressing hard.

10 - 9 Moreno
109 - 97 Moreno

 

decent fight, bull vs matador, matador too sharp tonight

 

Chacon comes charging out trying to make somethign happen, he can't find Moreno. The upper body movement is on point, he is rolling, slipping, and dodging his work and banging him hard to the body or simply side stepping away or stepping in and smothering him. 1 minute left and Chacon is dead tired and Moreno simply lands nice sharp lefts to the body as he comes in and that is the most of it.

10 - 9 Moreno
119 - 106 Moreno

 

A bull with no horns.

 

That crowd was dead. LOL

 

I scored the main event for Moreno, 11-1 rounds, 118-107 points. The 2nd round was 10-7 to Moreno for two official knockdowns (even though I'm sure the first was actually a slip), Chacon won the 8th, and the 10th was 9-9 because of the bogus point deduction against Moreno for an alleged low blow. Moreno boxed masterfully, he had his jab, straight left, hooks, and bolo punches all working sharply and effectively to head and body, usually in combination, with a good workrate and high landing rates. He moved his head and upper body very well, to disguise his own punches and defend against Chacon's, and he constantly moved around the ring to set up angles and make Chacon work hard to find him. Chacon did surprise me with his game effort; after the 1st round (when he barely threw a punch), he was the one moving forward, and he initiated his share of exchanges. But most of his punches were wild lunging headhunting power shots, lefts and rights, really no technique involved; Moreno was able to defend and avoid most of them, but Chacon connected with enough to win the 8th, and make both the 10th and 12th close, albeit in the 12th Moreno was on his bicycle until the closing seconds. Chacon annoyed with his constant complaining to referee Mora about various perceived infractions by Moreno, who did occasionally use his forearm in defense but otherwise fought cleanly; too bad Mora kept falling for it, most notably the bogus point deduction in the 10th for an alleged low blow (clearly a clean body shot) solely on the basis of Chacon's complaint. Overall, this was a reasonably entertaining fight, and it was good to see the classy Moreno back in action. But as I posted earlier in this thread, Moreno is FAR too good to be stuck with fights like this, he NEEDS to make something big happen in his career. It would be so good if Showtime could get him back on their network, he deserves it.

 

good to see my boy Moreno won
