ESPN2 FNF: Roberto Garcia vs. Antwone Smith & Tyrone Brunson vs. James De la Rosa RBR

Garcia has a good sense of humor.

He should post on ESB.

Who knows? Maybe he could be GTMSBT champion within a year. :bbb (or three...I mean, he is kind of slow...)

 

I agree with Teddy, having given the 5th to Garcia for throwing and landing the much heavier blows.

 

Round 6

Garcia keeps winging shots with his left and right stepping forward. Smith backs up and jabs, and barks. Clinch. Break. Smith hooks the body and barks, then steps back. Garcia steps in against Smith, braces with his left forearm, then pushes him back with it to set up his body punches. Garcia is working the body well from outside, and then loading up big overhand rights up top as Smith backs straight up away from the body shots. NICE 1-2 by Garcia, tapping Smith on the forehead as he brought his gloves up but couldn't squeeze them together in time to block. Left uppercuts by Garcia, glancing. 1-2 to the body by Garcia. CLUBBING right to the back of the head by Garcia. Right to the body by Garcia. Smith is languishing against the ropes, not throwing back or barking. Now a few jabs and barks as he circles off the ropes. Garcia runs in and works the body.

10-9 Garcia

58-56 Smith

 

I am rooting for Garcia. :conf

 

I must begrudgingly admit that Tessitore has a good point there.

Osuna read a fan question asking if Smith thinks that he's fooling judges into thinking he is landing whenever he grunts.

Tessitore points out that it would actually hurt him to use that strategy, as the single grunts at a time would indicate to the judges that he is only throwing at most one at a time.
