ESPN: Rashidi Ellis vs. Edgardo Alberto Zuñiga Mosquera RBR

Lol @ Ellis & Mosquera having a dramatic weigh-in, jawing at each other and nearly coming to blows, as if any casual fan watching on ESPN has ever heard of either of them before and has any skin in this game.

 

Ding ding ding!

 

Round 8

Ramírez is diving in, piling on the body thumps, and receding in a squat as Licona jabs over his head. Ramírez is leading with rights downstairs now and jabbing or hooking up top as he shifts inside and out. Licona is flurrying very ineffectively, weak slow telegraphed shoeshines all caught on the mitts of Ramírez at point-blank range. Ramírez is tired as well but able to hold Licona off with some descending rights slashing from on high. Licona tries jabbing his way in but Ramírez condescendingly finds that left fist in the air halfway to its target with an open palm and shoots it down like a clay pigeon, every time. Jabs up top and corkscrew rights on the body from Ramírez diving in. Not sitting on any of his punches or doing any damage whatsoever, Ramírez is nonetheless setting the pace. Exchange at the bell, with both men caught. Might've been a headbutt? Licona sustains a nasty cut just as the fight ends - so, whatever.

10-9 Ramírez

78-74 Ramírez

 

Watch though, if the judges do give it to Licona, both Duran & Osuna will be like "wooooooooow...sometimes you just never know what the judges are watching, folks..."

The judges, Bernardito y Beto, are watching the FIGHT, which is their job. And yours, but unlike you guys they don't always slack off and snooze at the wheel during undercard mismatches-on-paper like you guys.

 

Official cards:

77-75
75-77
77-75

SD for Licona

 

OMG. Beto is suggesting that Licona was done wrong by the judge scoring it to Ramírez, on the basis of nationalistic pride because they resent him for now being American.
