Dainier Christian Peró Jústiz vs. César Navarro & Corey Javon Marksman vs. Tayden Beltrán RBR

R1 - 10-9 Marksman, close
R2 - 10-9 Marksman, dominant, almost 10-8

 

Marksman TKO7 Beltrán; it was never really a contest from the second round on.

 

If the ring emcee's voice sounds (or face looks) familiar to wrestling fans - that's because she is Dasha Kuret, who served as the longtime announcer for both the WWE as Dasha Fuentes and AEW as Dasha González, spending half a decade with each company.

She's an Orlando native.

 

Dainier Christian Peró Jústiz vs. César Navarro, 10 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Unlike the previous two contests, the records are not identical - but the fighters' age is. Peró and Navarro are both 25 years old. They also both sport high kayo rates; Peró is 10-0 with eight stoppages and Navarro is 13-2 with eleven.

Peró at 6'5" is five inches taller.

 

10-9 Peró. Navarro showed in the opening minute he wasn't scared to step to him, though.

 

Bad low blow from Peró. Navarro should have taken longer to recover IMO. He continued on quickly from machismo and ended up getting his ass kicked on the ropes down the stretch until the bell to end round 2.

 

Stats after two:

Peró 50 of 183, 28%
Navarro 17 of 79, 22%

 

OMG what?!?! Navarro - who seemed on the verge of getting stopped in the previous round - scores a huge knockdown with a shot Peró didn't seem coming, a big whistling overhand right, and seems to have the Cuban badly rattled! Big flurries and Peró is battered down again from accumulation less than a minute later! Navarro grinding him into a corner with line drive rights and big sweeping left hooks. Peró just keeps swinging counter uppercuts while getting backed across the ring.

10-7 Navarro

28-27 Navarro

What a turnaround!

 

Donaire likens it to a low-level Joshua vs. Ruiz I.

 

Peró is planting his feet and throwing bombs, looping around the guard of Navarro. He seems to have Navarro's legs wobbly and nearly pushes him into a corner. Navarro fights his way out, but is caught with a shot that makes him trot away to blow a bloody snot rocket, and Peró takes advantage, rushing up to blast him while he's unprotected. Peró with combinations to head and body. Navarro's face busted up, but he's defending himself as best he can, ducking and slipping.

10-9 Peró

37-37

 

Stats after four:

Peró of 108 of 376, 29%
Navarro 48 of 167, 29%
