Billi Facundo Godoy vs. Jorge Sebastian Heiland II RBR

Well, they both have five stoppage losses but it must be said that Munoz has the more respectable loss-by-stoppage ratio (20%, compared with Godoy's 83%).

Of course that also comes with having eighteen more losses, so it's somewhat of a backhanded compliment.

 

Round 3

Godoy is jabbing and rushing in, propping himself against the long frame of Munoz and then vaulting off to swat with frenetic combos. Munoz leans and counters with body shots and right jabs, some of them batted down by Godoy's left glove. Munoz lets Godoy tie him up and works his free hand if there is one, else flicks his wrists at Godoy's ribs. Messy action. Godoy was busy and made a show of staging a comeback, but got in very little clean (let alone effective) punching.

10-9 Munoz

29-27 Munoz

 

Round 4

Godoy is waiting, coiled up anxiously. Munoz reaches in with a left on the breadbasket and darts out as Godoy steps in to avenge himself with a flurry, rolling fist over fist in an untidy torrent. Munoz is leaning, drawing himself back like a longbow, and springing in with left hand leads above the belt, then rolling under Godoy's jabs and rights to zigzag back outside and stand all the way up. Munoz flicks some long right jabs into Godoy's face on the outside, then scurries in past Godoy's left jab as it hangs out to dry and tying up. Munoz ducks a wild right uppercut and taps the body. Godoy throws clubbing shots in the air moving forward, driving Munoz into the ropes but not touching him. Clinch. Body shots by Munoz. Big looping left by Munoz off the ropes a Godoy throws a nonstop flurry at him, twenty crazy punches, thirty... Munoz slips most.

10-9 Munoz

39-36 Munoz

 

Bad night for the Godoy boys if the Argentinian Mexican gets a fair shake here!

1-2. :!: If only they had wrangled a sister to put in with a no-hope journey-woman to break even...

 

Official cards:

Tapia 38-38
2nd judge 38-38
3rd judge 38-38

Unanimous draw.

 

Well...uh. OK. I mean, he did get knocked down. :?

Usually when that happens you don't get a draw in a 4-rounder unless the knocked-down party scores their own (in which case it would be 37-37...not 38-38...)...or there is a 10-10 somewhere.

At least it wasn't loss #25 for Munoz.

 

Yeah, not a popular decision. Being called a robbery on Twitter. (by some who just watched it now, and by some from ringside three hours ago when it actually took place)

 

Oh yeah. :rofl That old thing. Story of the damn night.

So it would have to be one 10-9 round and two 10-9.5 - all in favor of the dropped boxer in order for the arithmetic to work and still come to a normal 38-38 draw offsetting that 10-8 for Munoz.

...and three judges happened to have it that exact way? :blood

 

Hopefully the pot is sweet enough to, along with pride, motivate Godoy to accept this.

He is doubtful excited about the prospect of competing at Luna Park, for various reasons. It's the site of his only prior loss, an unsightly setback upset to Sergio Jose Sanders in what had been set up to be a routine tuneup, a rematch from twenty months earlier when Godoy knocked Sanders out in five.

It also happens to be located in Buenos Aires, which is Heiland's turf.

He doesn't have much choice. If he wants redemption, JSH is the man with the leverage and Luna Park is where this now very marketable rubber-match will do best.

 

I really hope this one ends up on Youtube. More people need to see it than just the four of us who caught it last night.

Godoy vs. Heiland I took a couple of days. (happened on July 7th, 2012 and was uploaded on the 9th)
