ESPN+: Jerwin Juntilla Ancajas vs. Jonas Sultan & Khalid Yafai vs. David Carmona RBR.

My ass I'm predicting some great scraps tonight. I'm already excited for em' and not backing down!

 

Can't wait for Ancajas and Sultan to go at it! Definitely my priority for tonight, followed by Warriors-Rockets

 

I think they're going to go at it like feral dogs. The stare down between the two was pretty intense.

UD for Piotr Apostol

 

Alexander Besputin vs Saul Corral, 10 rounds @ welterweight

 

I'll be shocked if Ancajas stops Sultan like some are predicting in the league. Sultan is very good. Still mad he beat one of my faves in Casimero. This has the potential to be an interesting chess match since Sultan has pretty solid boxing skills as displayed in the Casimero fight. But he could also make it a scrappy inside fight which I believe is his best chance at springing the upset. I think the fight turns into the former with Ancajas being too skilled for Sultan in a hard-hitting, calculated fight.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Besputin

Mostly a feeling out round, but Besputin landed a few nice straight left hands after setting them up with the jab.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Besputin
Round 2: 10-9 Besputin

Besputin opens up a little more shooting a right uppercut while Corral was in the corner. He missed but it was explosive. Right hand lands for Corral. Another straight left lands on the nose. Besputin using the one two often with quick footwork getting in and out before Corral can counter.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Besputin
Round 2: 10-9 Besputin
Round 3: Besputin wins by TKO

Left uppercut lands for Besputin right on the chin and drops Corral. He gets up but Besputin is pouring it on, lands a mean body shot which drops Corral again. The ref waves it off.

 

Sultan is going to lose but he's not as bad as his record suggests. I had a chance to watch his fight against Go Onaga, and that fight was very close. That being said, Ancajas is levels above Onaga, so he definitely wins this.

 

So did Carmona put on the extra weight for the advantage or did just not train properly?

 

Bryan Lua vs Francisco Camacho, 6 rounds @ super featherweight

 

Round 1: 10-9 Lua

Camacho was winning the round but got caught by a left hand on the ear with 10 seconds left in the round that wobbled him and then he took some more shots until the bell saved him
