Cristian Mijares vs. Eddy Julio & Aaron Herrera vs. Zaid Zavaleta RBR

Round 2

Hard right jabs to the body by Mijares. Julio reaches over with right hands, not quite straights and not quite overhands, sort of halfway between the two. Bottom line, they are ineffective. Mijares is easily slipping them, and then tagging up the body of Julio. Right hooks galore. Left hands up top by Mijares. 1-2, and some slapping right hooks by Mijares putting Julio on the ropes. Combos by Mijares. Straight left to the face between the gloves, right hook to the ear, left uppercut to the ribs by Mijares. Julio circles out to the left and paws his left jab, now to the right...still pawing. Body shots by Mijares. Right jabs to the face by Mijares. Julio lunges in with a 1-2, missing wide as Mijares turns.

20-18 Mijares

 

Yeah, that's been officially scheduled for a while now. :-(

We might be seeing Cristian's last hurrah right here.

 

Round 3

BIG LEFT HAND BY MIJARES!! Julio is hurt!! Julio wanders to the ropes, punch-drunk but still covering up on instinct. Mijares is throwing right jabs, left hands, RIGHT HOOKS! Power and accuracy from Mijares! Nice lefts around the guard by Mijares. Chopping right hooks as Julio lays up on the ropes. All Julio's doing is covering up and waiting for Mijares to be done. Now Julio circles out to his right. Mijares spears a few jabs at him. Now a straight left to the body. Mijares shimmies from side to side, then leads with a left. Julio circles right, into a corner. BIG left hand by Mijares. Jabs and left crosses by Mijares! Looping lead lefts by Mijares!! Julio getting smacked around! Overhand right by Julio, clips Mijares slightly. Mijares just stares at him, bemused. More body shots by Mijares.

30-27 Mijares

 

Gesta might actually constitute a step down from Fedchenko. :think

 

Round 4

Mijares is landing flush left hand leads and rolling under the counter left jabs of Julio. Whipping body shots by Mijares on the inside. Julio is barely staying off the ropes, mouth open and jogging backward. Mijares is slipping literally every jab Julio throws with lightning-fast reflexive movement and landing some VERY flush straight left hand leads. BIG LEFT UPPERCUT BY MIJARES SENDS JULIO FLYING INTO THE ROPES, JUST DUST IN THE WIND!! Very, very hard and accurate left hand on the button by Mijares!!! Finally Julio goes down!!

FLAT ON HIS BACK!! OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KO!!!!!!!!
