Erick Yomer Rosa Pacheco vs. Neider Valdez Aguilar & Noel Reyes Cepeda vs. Liborio Solís Maturet RBR

I can't understand Erick Rosa with his nasally voice and mumbly Dominican accent. Is anybody watching fluent in Spanish able to give us a victory interview translation?

 

I understand "fuerte cabrón".

(calling Valdez a strong bastard)

 

NGL, the Katsunari Takayama who fought yesterday would beat up both of them.

 

If nothing else Valdez showed that a durable pressure fighter (a more skilled one, and with better cardio) could seriously trouble Rosa someday...but going into his backyard to lift his belt is going to be a problem because at home in D.R. he gets away with murder when it comes to fouling to bail himself out in hairy situations.

 

Olajuwon Acosta vs. Alfree Ramírez, 8 rounds @ bantamweight

 

Acosta is a pasty pale Puerto Rican, wtf is he doing with a Nigerian name?

 

Some fans trickling out after the main event, as it's now 11:30pm local time, although we appear to have a few more bouts left in store for the stalwart.

 

TKO2, after three knockdowns by Acosta.

The local Dominican kid got tons of chances, thought he actually would escape the round until the last second. After beating the count for the second knockdown he spat his gumshield and bought extra time and the ref showed no urgency in getting his corner to place it back in.

Acosta let Ramírez know with his fists how aggrieved he felt.

 

John Karl Sosa Vega vs. Julio Lixander Nina Guerrero, 8 rounds @ middleweight

 

If the name sounds familiar it's because yes, JKS used to frequently appear on big American undercards (often giving a good account of himself but losing to prospects). Big edge in experience over the Dominican novice.

 

YouTube chat has devolved into a mess. They are now tossing around nationalistic insults, swears, n-words...

 

Not a very tidy contest.

 

Nina Guerrero quit on his stool. Thank goodness, because it was dawning on me how much longer there was to go and that neither of them had the pop to ice the other. Wasn't a pleasant watch.

 

Elián Rodríguez vs. Vikensi Mateo Mora, 8 rounds @ super lightweight

 

Damn it Dominicans...just let me watch Cepeda vs. Solís and go to bed.

(so I can have nightmares full of vuvuzelas)

It's already past midnight in Santo Domingo.
