ESPN2 FNF: Javier Fortuna vs. Luis Franco & Kermit Cintron vs. Jonathan Batista RBR

Round 9

Batista is slamming a left hook into the side of Cintron's head. Batista is warned for roughing his way out of clinches, and told next time it's a deduction. Cintron is twisting in with body hooks from either side but not landing them, just bumping his chest against Batista's. They press together until broken apart. Left hook jumping in by Batista, ducked and cuffing the back of Cintron's neck.

10-9 Batista

86-84 Cintron

 

Sorry - Gerald Ritter, not Jared.

 

Oh ****, a new angle of the replay - Cintron blatantly saw that Batista was tripping and falling and whipped in the opportunistic left hook between the eyes anyway. :twisted: God what a ****.

 

Teddy Atlas has it 86-86.

 

Batista is getting railroaded.

 

Round 10

Batista is tied up and clubs down with his free right hand. He catches Cintron behind the head and Ritter steps in to deduct a point from Batista. They scrap on the inside, very messy. Ritter warns Batista again for hitting behind the head, but Cintron is setting him up by bending over and exposing it on purpose. Ritter is trying to push them apart but doesn't verbally call for a break, so Batista loads an uppercut leaping in and lands past Ritter, who is struggling to maintain control. Cintron stiff-arms Batista to the canvas. Not even a warning for Cintron, and that was in clear view and flagrant. They wrestle and infight some more. ANOTHER point taken from Batista, this time for supposedly hitting on the break. Constant clinching in the last half minute. Double jab, chopping right to the face by Batista. Cintron goes to hands and knees trying to duck the ongoing Batista flurry - which should honestly be ruled a knockdown but of course isn't.

10-7 Cintron

96-91 Cintron
