ESPN: Alejandro Luna vs. Naim Nelson & David Benavidez vs. Denis Douglin RBR

Yeah. Nelson has just the right kind of style to bring out the worst in Luna, show his limitations and make him look toothless. (while not exactly wowing the crowd himself)

 

Round 9

Luna's hands are down and he is throwing wild uppercuts from behind the back, slow, missing. Nelson is skipping around Luna and throwing pot shot jabs, the overwhelming majority of them missing but a couple making contact, which is more than Luna has done all round with his ill-advised home run swings (and lack of body work since he isn't closing the distance).

10-9 Nelson

87-84 Luna

 

Rock, you lunkhead, why'd you stick us with this? :wall

 

Round 10

Luna is pecking at the forearms with his jab, corked up from his own face bowing forward, on an awkward parabola. Nelson is looping right hands in, stepping through with them, fortifying some turf on the Corona logo, retreating less. Body work now from Nelson, barking as he punches. Luna chops in with a right hand, but misses a wild left upper-hook stumbling after Nelson. Luna tired. Slapping left hook up top by Luna, blocked. Nelson catches some shoeshines on his high guard. Luna ducks in place and sizes Nelson up for a right hand but keeps it holstered as Nelson circles into the ropes and preps to counter. Light lashing right by Luna.

10-9 Luna, barely

97-93 Luna

 

Ormond stops both these guys.

 

Really disappointing performance from Luna considering his opponent just got the call last night after 4 courses of dinner with his family.

 

Atlas has it 98-92 Luna.
