ESPN: Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Miguel Ángel Marriaga & Raymundo Beltrán vs. Bryan Vásquez RBR.

Nice pretty combinations by Vázquez but he gets borderline ruined every time Beltrán nicks him even halfway clean with a single chopping right or hook. Going to be a fraught path for the erstwhile super featherweight contender (whom I always considered more of a natural feather, while Beltrán is able to make LW but is built like a junior middle)

 

10-9 Beltrán, 19-19

 

The best rbr guy ever.

 

MMA doesn't have better quality fights. They have worse fights and better hype teams who work hard to make an people think their fights are all high quality. They are like Donald Trump. Spray some fake gold on a terd, call it the most excellent nugget in the world, sell it to rubes for a million dollars.

 

Round 1: 10-9 Vasquez
Round 2: 10-9 Beltran
Round 3: 10-9 Beltran

29-28 Beltran

 

Psst...yo C, he's actually Bryan Vásquez not Vázquez (thought so...been nagging at the back of my head all night)...I'll mop up the RBR title for ya. Just a heads-up so you can adjust your ctrl+c for the individual RBR posts.

 

Vasquez must've sparred with his wife to prep for this fight. He acts like she's still in the ring.

I always liked Vásquez, but he's facing an impossible uphill battle here tonight. He was on the smaller end for a super feather able to hang at world class, and was probably always more suited to 126lbs, and he's now coming off a 13 month layoff and he faces a beast like Ray B., who is a gargantuan lightweight with a pipe-busting style that would spell doom for a somewhat fragile and defensively reflex-reliant boxer-puncher like Vásquez even were they the same size? Yeah, this can only end one way...

 

This ring doesn't look very big.

 

Vasquez ate some pretty good left on the rope. Didn't even phase him.
