ESPN2 FNF: Fedor Papazov vs. Petr Petrov & Fernando Carcamo vs. Samuel Neequaye RBR

Round 4

Gonzalez is peppering Mendoza with the right jab, casually stepping around him, setting up a left hand down the pipe that stuns Mendoza. Gonzalez chuckles and keeps circling away, avoiding the ropes, using side to side and fake-out steps, constantly throwing crisp right jabs and keeping Mendoza honest with the left. Mendoza is whipping in hooks at the body jumping forward, grazing or missing. Long right jab on the face by Gonzalez. Lunging right on the body by Mendoza, not making it.

10-9 Gonzalez

40-36 Gonzalez

 

2nd worst balance in the ring I've seen today (after Elliott Matthews) :yep

 

Round 5

Gonzalez is jabbing, ducking the wild haymakers of Mendoza, popping up and landing a left hand lead, then getting a move on. Gonzalez is bopping Mendoza on either side of the head, right hook and short left hand slap. Gonzalez isn't sitting down on anything, just getting his points and making Mendoza spin and miss with defused bombs. Gonzalez is having fun, dancing around Mendoza, stepping halfway in, jabbing, then melting back outside.

10-9 Gonzalez

50-45 Gonzalez

 

Stafford asks for Gonzalez to sell out and go for broke in the sixth.

Gonzalez be like "Yo, I'm winning... :blood" and Stafford basically tells him to STFU and go to war anyway.

 

Yeah, jas, you're right, Stafford is a dunderhead. atsch

He just almost cost Gonzalez this easy W...and may still.
