Christian M'billi Assomo-Hallier vs. Carlos Góngora Mercado & Simon Kean vs. Éric Lee Molina RBR

Round 5

Guzmán is putting in some nice work, jabbing the face and hooking the body, except whenever he builds a head of steam he cools off and takes a break, and Claggett shows out. Claggett is coming forward, doubling jabs into the forehead and strapping Guzmán with a right over the top, then flurrying inside with uppercuts and giving Guzmán a few head hooks as parting gifts. Guzmán has a strong final minute with straight 2-pieces up top and hooks on the body leaning forward, but then gets hurt by a right hand.

10-9 Claggett, close

49-46 Claggett

 

Round 6

Wet canvas wiped down. Commentators disapprove, saying it gave gassed Guzmán an unfairly long rest period. They're both throwing in five, six or seven punch sequences. No major speed or snap on anything, just heavy workmanlike blows from both. Guzmán just a bit busier, although the commentators think most of his body work is being caught on Claggett's elbows. Eh, some of it is, but plenty is getting through. Claggett lobbing pairs up top at Guzmán's face, but not in control as he was before the canvas wipe.

10-9 Guzmán

58-56 Claggett

 

Matt Cassavant, whoever the hell that is, has it 59-55 Claggett, giving Guzmán the 4th.

 

Sorry, make that Claggett's coach. Mike Moffa.

 

Round 7

Guzmán is throwing hard with high-low combos, but getting beaten to the punch as they both continue a hellish pace for having already put in 6+ hard rounds. Guzmán feeling the aftereffects more clearly, starting to surrender the initiative more and more often. Claggett crowding him, hooking off the jab, forcing Guzmán to hug the ropes in retreat, then snaps his head back with a frontfoot lead right.

10-9 Claggett

68-65 Claggett

 

Guzmán quits in the corner.

RTD7!
