ESPN2 FNF: Willie Monroe Jr. vs. Bryan Vera RBR

Yeah, I guess 90 seconds of heavy body work are easy to forget in light of 90 seconds of quick, largely blocked pot-shots. :conf

Anyway, moot point, as Vera clearly got spanked (and nearly stopped?) in the 5th and is now in a deeper hole than he might be able to climb out from.

 

Ali was released from the hospital, per an onscreen ESPN2 breaking news ticker. :happy

(was admitted with a UTI)


He turns 73 tomorrow.

 

Round 6

Monroe is luring Vera along, popping up on his toes and feeding Vera right jabs as he comes rushing in with stubby volleys into the air. Monroe is trotting rightward, backpedaling at high pace as needed to lengthen the distance when Vera closes it, landing looping lead lefts as he snaps a turn with Vera slowing to adjust. Vera can't reach, head or body.

10-9 Monroe

59-54 Monroe

 

Has Willie missed a right hook yet?

 

Atlas has it 60-54 Monroe.

(he gave the 3rd 10-10)

 

Jabs through six:

Monroe 25 of 163, 15%

Vera 14 of 85, 16%

 

Round 7

Monroe is staying at mid-range, making Vera miss with undulating dips of his upper body. Vera is swinging wildly, sidelong with both arms. Monroe ducks and counters with single left hands and quick straight up-flurries. Monroe is using quick shuffling and ducking to stick and move, frustrating Vera badly. Doubled up left hand by Monroe.

10-9 Monroe

69-63 Monroe

 

:blood When have you ever known me to do WSB RBR's?

Or to ever prioritize it over real live professional boxing?
