Boxeo Telemundo: Yomar Álamo vs. Manuel Méndez RBR

Round 8

Méndez is having isolated moments of really encouraging work, his body shots bothering Alamo enough to make him tie up or double over, but Alamo inevitably gets his arms extricated and begins to whack down at the back of Méndez's head and his nape. This pattern repeats for almost the whole three minutes, Alamo dancing around jabbing until Méndez traps him on the ropes and mauls him with right forearms grinding against his face as they lock horns, then body shots, then Alamo freeing himself and landing rabbit punches to hit reset and begin the whole thing over again.

10-9 Alamo, close

79-73 Alamo

 

Round 9

Méndez is giving it his all, morphing from a high guard into something more resembling the Philly shell as he pulls out all the stops and tries whatever he can to cut the distance and land some meaningful leather in accumulation. Too much guile and resiliency from Alamo, however, sometimes hurt by a body shot or stray right hand but never daring stand fixed in one place to let himself take another, quick to relocate and from the high ground open up with rapid jabs on the face, combined when uppercuts when Méndez looks woozy or imbalanced. Méndez seems about to go down at one point but surges, bravely throwing with both hands.

10-9 Alamo

89-82 Alamo

 

Round 10

Méndez is getting hit with as many as half a dozen jabs in a row, his face going a little pink, neck contorted involuntarily backward like a Pez dispenser. Alamo is dancing around, jabbing, not taking chances and letting Méndez drag him into a brawl at the 11th hour. Méndez pushes his body to its limits, coming forward and throwing punches with his arms up and head down, but nothing doing. Alamo cruising, repelling him with timely shoves, and landing jabs aplenty on the go, still looking the fresher man.

10-9 Alamo

99-91 Alamo

 

Official cards:

I'm usually careful to get too excited about boricua prospects with pretty looking home-brewed records, but..

I'll have to remember...uh, whatshisface...
