Round 9 Dadashev 10-9
Round 10 Dadashev 10-9

Dadashev has completely taken over now, he beat the crap out of him in the 9th, and aside from getting slightly rocked by a right hook in the 10th, dominated that one as well, unloading combinations on him to the bell. Dadashev boxed brilliantly, but had a few defensive lapses, Arum might want to keep him away from southpaws in the future, and the lay off has done DeMarco some good, he looked better in this fight than he has in a while.

98-92 Dadashev

 

Esquiva Falcao vs. Guido Nicolas Pitto 10 Rounds @ Middleweight

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9

All Falcao so far, walking Pitto down whacking him with straight lefts and right hooks, Pitto got a few decent right hooks in in Round 2.

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9
Round 3 Falcao 10-9
Round 4 Falcao 10-9

This is basically sparring, why did I decide to watch this?

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9
Round 3 Falcao 10-9
Round 4 Falcao 10-9
Round 5 Falcao 10-9

After both of them fought the first 4 in cruise control, finally Pitto decided to throw some punches, it was a slugfest with Falcao taking it due to higher output and accuracy.

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9
Round 3 Falcao 10-9
Round 4 Falcao 10-9
Round 5 Falcao 10-9
Round 6 Falcao 10-9

Esquiva starting to wear him down a little, after showing zero urgency for the first 4, he's picking up the pace now finally.

 

Bo-Mack is a dreadful commentator, like actually painful to listen to.

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9
Round 3 Falcao 10-9
Round 4 Falcao 10-9
Round 5 Falcao 10-9
Round 6 Falcao 10-9
Round 7 Falcao 10-9
Round 8 Falcao 10-9

The Falcao brothers are such disappointments as pros, both by the numbers bores. He's plugging away, not looking good in the 7th or 8th, but winning both decisively.

 

Round 1 Falcao 10-9
Round 2 Falcao 10-9
Round 3 Falcao 10-9
Round 4 Falcao 10-9
Round 5 Falcao 10-9
Round 6 Falcao 10-9
Round 7 Falcao 10-9
Round 8 Falcao 10-9
Round 9 Falcao 10-9
Round 10 Falcao 10-9

While I wouldn't say Pitto was rocked in the 9th or 10th, Falcao landed a few shots in both rounds that slightly stunned him, stopped him in his tracks, but more by the numbers ghoulishness. Falcao can't get that Brazilian glass of his shattered quick enough for me, this might be a good fight for Murata to get himself back in the W column.

100-90 Falcao

 

I bet its going to be really weird for Dadashev watching Loma-Pedraza, since he fights a hell of a lot like a cut rate Loma, and is a near dead ringer for Pedraza looks wise. It'll be like watching himself beat himself up.

 

Vladimir Nikitin vs. Clay Burns 6 Rounds @ Featherweight

 

Go look at Nikitin's Boxrec picture, he looks like a maniac.
