Anthony Olascuaga vs. Juan Carlos Camacho, Jr. & Jalil Major Hackett vs. Elijah Dwayne Vines RBR

Commentators praising the Filipino-American's body work.

Sergio Mora is asked who the best body puncher he shared a ring with was. He says it's a tie between Forrest & Mosley.

 

Just me, or does Viloria look zero percent Asian?

Like, if I saw him walking down the street I'd just figure he was a Mexican dude.

His dad was born in Hawaii but both of Brian's parents were from the PI.

Hell, even Erica Navarro (Justin's mom/Brian's wife) looks more Asian than her son does, and she's a Polynesian Latina.

 

Viloria dominant so far, but hasn't really left 1st gear. Just advancing behind the southpaw jab, changing levels, working the body, and scrapping on the inside with Ortíz after walking him into the ropes until the Puerto Rican dives in and clinches. Ortíz getting in some incidental backfoot counters here and there but significantly outlanded in every round.

40-36 JV

 

So far we've had two boring fights (this one and to a much greater extent Talley vs. Holloway) and two completely one-sided mismatches (Hackett vs. Vines and Alvarado vs. García).

No wonder they haven't shown Turki on camera. He's probably pouting up a storm about his supposed all-action 50-50 series blowing up in his face.

 

Carl Froch at ringside!

He says he'll iron Darren Till out. Guess that fight really might be happening...

 

I think this is Turki's idea of "edgy and cool".

 

Viloria's corner tells him they're winning the fight but losing the crowd (and probably Turki) so he needs to show out in this eighth and final round and really go for the KO against jumpin' Joshafat.

 

Yes!
