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

Despite his style not being exactly pretty, I've been a fan of RTG for several years now:

Chuffed to see him maybe on his way to a nice high profile upset here. (not televised per se, but headlining the prelims stream ain't bad and could land him some paydays...although like the commentators pointed out, lots of promoters are cautious to book him since he does miss weight sometimes)

 

Stats halfway through:

Acosta 73 of 222, 33%
Téllez Girón 66 of 225, 29%

 

Acosta down in the 5th! Cut from a headbutt, too.

Whole night is rapidly turning into a giant banana-peel for the A-side.

39-36 Téllez Girón

 

That was brilliantly set up by Téllez Girón, for not being a very artful or technical boxer. He stuffed a left shovel hook into the chest slamming himself into Acosta to brace him up, then correctly anticipated that he would pull straight back with his hands down wrongly thinking that Téllez Girón would need a moment to reorient himself, and absolutely nailed him with a looping right on the mandible to put him down.

 

Acosta ain't got that dog in him.

 

Eight minutes left in the hockey game.

 

I love that Téllez Girón can do almost absolutely everything wrong by the book - hands low, mouth open, chin out, hunched forward, feet too close together as he steps - but still be very effective even against skillful opponents. He hammers the body, making the most of his middling pop - and gives no quarter.

Wild flurrying exchanges, desperate clinches by Acosta, and a few more head clashes.

No way "El Yuyu" should get this. He isn't officially signed to TR, so maybe they won't rob El Bravo...

 

Final stats:

Acosta 125 of 422, 30%
Téllez Girón 148 of 478, 31%
