ESPN: Teófimo Andrés López Rivera vs. Jamaine Ortíz & Keyshawn Davis vs. José Pedraza González RBR

George Acosta-Arendondo vs. Juan René Téllez Girón González, 8 rounds @ lightweight

 

I like this stat ESPN shows now, how many pro bouts' worth of experience the judges have.

In this one, Cheeks has only 342 while Moretti and Weisfeld are in the thousands.

 

Round 1

Téllez Girón is trying for body jabs ducking in, but Acosta resetting his feet as necessary and countering with incisive jabs and crosses on the point of the chin. Téllez Girón is able to stuff in a lucky hook after spamming and missing a few shots lunging in. Acosta staying composed, creeping clockwise and using feints, holding briefly when he needs to, checking Téllez Girón's advances with jabs or two-pieces.

10-9 Acosta

 

Btw there's an NHL game on ESPN, currently third period, 18 minutes left. If that hits overtime it could very well preempt the start of the main card being televised live. (scheduled for the bottom of the hour)

 

...Islanders are up 6-2 over the Lightning, however, so we might be alright.

 

Téllez Girón is ducking & weaving his way in, firing from awkward angles. Téllez Girón ripping some hooks on the lower jaw and side of the throat of Acosta, who seems a bit overly cautious...doing more holding than clean countering in this round. Body shots by Téllez Girón at the bell.

19-19

 

Jamaine is the gayest sounding boxer I've heard in years.

He was even getting roasted by Tim Bradley earlier for lacking bass in his voice.

 

Acosta sparred Joe Cordina in preparation for this.

 

RTG really making a case for will trumping skill here. His shots are so wild but he's just committing to forcing a brawl and his attacking angles are so awkward, it has Acosta on the verge of unraveling.

29-28 Téllez Girón
