beIN Sports Español: Miguel Ángel Berchelt vs. George Jupp RBR

It would appear Jupp finally managed to stand up (with assistance). He's lucid and getting medical attention.

Alacrán isn't the most polished boxer, nor defensive-minded or fastest - but does have scary power.

Six minutes, thirty seconds in...


That really was just a case of Flores Suárez timing him perfectly and catching him square on the button with something (two shots in succession, actually, but the first would've been enough) he didn't see coming.

I don't think you can really glean from that Flores Suárez having Berchelt's # or anything. Of the ninety seconds it lasted, Berchelt was in control for 82 of them. He should be seeking to amend that blemish on his record while they're both still campaigning in the same weight class.

 

I hope we do get to see it. Rocky has the better chin but less devastating power (though he is heavy-handed); I could see either knocking out the other late.

 

Thing is Rocky is very easily dragged into brawls and can be quite touchable, and Berchelt when he gets a lather going can put together some devastating combinations. I could easily see Alacrán becoming first to stop Martinez. Question is, can he channel his Puerto Rican nature and box without getting provoked into slugging? (which is, as long as he can put & keep Rocky on the back-foot and not leave any loose ends in his offense to be countered, probably advantage Berchelt...)

...on the other hand, though, as you say, there is that worrying matter of Flores Suárez completely doing him in with a two-piece outta nowhere.

 

Oh yeah! Forgot about that. It sometimes feels like the MIB took a neuralizer to everybody regarding all things MAG. :yep

 

Pretty sizable upset there, actually. Torres was coming off a knockout win over Miguel Ángel González.
