Cable Onda Sports: José Raúl Núñez Espinosa vs. Jaime Muñoz Zambrano RBR

Johnny Antonio Garay Guerra vs. Roger Rene Saldaña Martínez, 6 rounds @ super flyweight

 

Garay's trainer doing his own alternate spin on the classic "pat your tummy & rub your head at the same time" parlor trick...giving his student's upper back an idiosyncratic massage with circular motions of his left palm during ring introductions while also pursing & un-pursing his lips to make his mustache twitch like a twerking caterpillar.

 

I was about to say it seemed confusing that Garay walked second and has the crowd backing, yet has more losses than undefeated Saldaña has fights...but he did seem to land the more hurtful, effective stuff in that cagey first..

 

Garay does move well, in an unorthodox way...and while his physique doesn't look that impressive he does appear to have some wiry strength in those noodle arms.

 

Saldaña doing nothing wrong per se, he's just a color by numbers boxer and that's getting him tagged & dazed every time Garay travels off the beaten path.

 

Saldaña landed a heck of a nice three-piece on the chin at the bell, though.

 

Saldaña rocking that "Jorge Arce circa '05" haircut.

 

Much better third for Saldaña! Garay being fed a lethal dose of fundamentals!

 

Ref is just an average sized dude but since they're flyweights you get the feeling he could chokeslam them both simultaneously.

 

...damn, 4th might be ROTM...

 

Last round of the co-main here will be concluding at quarter of midnight local time in Panama City.

It could be nearly 1am before the crowd goes home...

 

I could honestly see this being a draw.

 

What a shitshow. The ring card girl brought the "Round 7" card up on the apron, then when she was about to start parading it around the ring the corners of both Garay & Saldaña went berserk, like "hell nah, we done, this was only scheduled for 6!"

Even the referee seemed confused for a moment.
