ESPN2 FNF: Roberto Garcia vs. Norberto Gonzalez & Kamil Laczszyk vs. Daniel Diaz RBR

Round 9

Garcia is ripping hard left hooks downstairs, using his jab and turned-over right had up top as decoys to bring Gonzalez's arms up so he can have a clear path for the left hook. Gonzalez is nearly doubled over by the powerful body hook, forced to back up. Garcia is letting Gonzalez score long jabs on the belly and between the wrists, walking through them and popping a 1-2 in on Gonzalez to drive him on the ropes where he lands another big hook on the body. Jabs by Garcia, catching Gonzalez a body length away, Gonzalez too tired to throw a deterrent flurry or even raise his guard. Shove by Garcia putting Gonzalez where he wants him, flush straight right hand lead by Garcia.

10-9 Garcia

85-85

 

Garcia's coach Roberto Norris knows what he wants.

"NOCAUT NOCAUT NOCAUT!! Tres minutos...nocaut! :nono"

 

Round 10

Gonzalez is hit on the head with the right hand and on the body with the left hook. Garcia is all over him, sloppy but powerful on the inside as Gonzalez pokes him with a jab on the belly and ducks. Gonzalez has one eye partially closed with swelling. Gonzalez is throwing inefficient wavy flurries as he circles away, perhaps unable to see properly to aim. Garcia nails Gonzalez with a right hand. Stray arm punches from Gonzalez clatter in all over the place, from Garcia's forearms to his shoulder and up in the air. Garcia pushes the exhausted Gonzalez into the ropes and tries hooking his head off. Gonzalez is ducking just enough to avoid the hooks. Garcia pushes him into a corner and gets a piece of the top of Gonzalez's head with his left hook. Wide looping right by Garcia, ducked. Gonzalez taps the body lightly with all the remaining strength he can summon.

10-9 Garcia
