ESPN2 FNF: Darley Perez vs. Bahodir Mamadjanov & Chris Avalos vs. Yenifel Vicente RBR

Round 1

Stepping together, they each extend their jabs - Avalos high and Vicente low. A couple of swooping body shots by Avalos as Vicente slinks back. Vicente keeps moving in with his head low behind his arms, and hooks at the belt line. Avalos catches him and lets go when instructed by the ref. Hookercuts by Vicente. Avalos lands a left hook and right hand from outside, overreaching and grazing. Double jab by Avalos, ducked, but he connects with the right cross. Another right hand over the top and they get clasped into a hold, leaned up against the ropes. Break. Vicente darts back to the ropes again as Avalos lunges at him with straight but slow punches.

10-9 Avalos

 

Total punches in round 1:

Avalos 24 of 115, 21%
Vicente 14 of 37, 39%

 

"Boy, he's really fat with that, isn't he?"

- Joe Tessitore, using a "Teddyism" to refer to the wideness of a punch


"..."

- Shane Mosley, not dignifying that **** with a response.

 

Round 2

Vicente is loading up on right hands and letting Avalos' jabs bounce off his forehead coming in. Big right hand by Avalos. Vicente is trying to dive in low and work the body without covering his head, but Avalos has figured out a trajectory to drop the right hand on it or flutter a jab out to blind him. Vicente winding up with big power but not getting anything substantial off.

20-18 Avalos

 

I don't even know that I'd call Avalos skilled (after what Chris Martin did to him, he'll forever be a caveman to me), but he's definitely busier with both hands than Vicente.

 

Drink Corona?
