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

" You might get a sense of what you are until you step up and then when you do, you're not prepared to find out what you're not..."

Teddy Atlas, king of the run-on sentence (and duke of analogies)

 

Round 1

De la Rosa throws jabs and quick rights while skirting quickly to his left in rapid circles around Brunson. The Philadelphian looks to double his own jab while circling with his paws faced out to intercept. De la Rosa is ripping him with combos while turning him. Bull rush into a clinch by De la Rosa, and he hoists Brunson up over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. De la Rosa is landing his jabs better while stepping around to the left. Brunson lands an upper-hook with the left and then a couple of body shots stretched out from a distance while turning to keep up with De la Rosa. WILD right hand by De la Rosa. Brunson circles outside, and throws a 1-2 to the body - missing. De la Rosa jabs high, and Brunson ducks. Hook to the head by De la Rosa as Brunson is still ducked down. Big sweeping shots by De la Rosa.

10-9 De la Rosa

 

Round 2

De la Rosa sweeps out a left hook, missing. Overhand right. COUNTER HOOK BY BRUNSON WOBBLES DE LA ROSA BADLY!!!! DAMN!! HIS KNEES BUCKLE AND THE GLOVES SWEEP DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE CANVAS BUT DON'T TOUCH!! IT IS RULED A KNOCKDOWN ANYWAY!! Whoa!! A whipping right across the gap by Brunson catches De la Rosa trying to get cute and simply lean back out of the way. De la Rosa is still a bit hurt. Brunson slows his attack down and De la Rosa is able to get back in the fight. Whipping hooks by De la Rosa from the outside. High jab by De la Rosa, crashes against Brunson's guard. Short hook by Brunson. Right to the body by De la Rosa. Jab and right by De la Rosa as Brunson backs up , just clipping him. De la Rosa is southpaw now, tagging Brunson with right jabs to the face and lefts to the body. Very nice turnaround by De la Rosa, but not enough to reverse the two point swing. UPPERCUTS by De la Rosa!!! Brunson backed up to the ropes.

10-8 Brunson

19-18 Brunson
