ESPN2 FNF: Yudel Jhonson vs. Jose Torres & Tyrese Hendrix vs. Walter Estrada RBR

Round 8

Jhonson lands his right jab and has Torres walk right through it, and into his right armpit. Apparently Torres is fond of the bouquet, as he keeps driving forward for another whiff as Jhonson leaves the garden door ajar with his arm held up high. Torres is getting scrappy now! Slapping Jhonson in the face up close against the ropes. Jhonson is trying to get back in control by shoving Torres off and putting him behind his jab. Torres is digging deep into his reserves of energy and trying his damndest to make it a dirty brawl. Hit on the break by Torres. Jhonson clinches and thrusts his shoulder to propel Torres away. Torres keeps coming forward windmilling his arms and trying to get rough. BOOM! Big left hand by Jhonson.

80-71 Jhonson

That was Torres' most...:think...active round...not sure if "successful" is the right word.

 

Round 9

Hard three shot combo by Jhonson, punctuated with a left hand to the bridge of the nose. Torres keeps coming forward, digging body shots in the clinch and putting in an honest effort to land his right hands on the way in but just lacking the hand speed. Sorely lacking. Jhonson ties up, gets Torres good and neutralized and then moves out to begin jabbing again. Shoeshine in the clinch by Torres. Jhonson ignores it and slides out to pop a right jab in his face. Jhonson leans in to smother Torres, and carries him to the ropes as Torres continues to shoeshine into his stomach. Jhonson puts out a right jab, leaves it sitting in the crook of Torres' neck to hold him in place and then crunches a left cross into the flat of his face. More clinching up against the ropes and awkward infighting by both.

10-9 Jhonson

90-80 Jhonson

 

It's almost getting to be too late to see Ortiz, even if they trim his bout to a 6-rounder. :twisted:

 

Round 10

Jhonson throws several right jabs, with every other one landing as Torres tries some head movement (as slow as his leg and fist movement). THERE WE GO! Jhonson hurts him with a short combo. Jhonson has a point deducted for rabbit punches! :shock: To be fair there was a warning, albeit several rounds back. Jhonson throttles Torres about the neck with the thumbs of his gloves and pushes him into the turnbuckle before the ref peels him off. It's getting pretty filthy in there. Torres badly telegraphs a right hand, which Jhonson slips to step past and straight through into him. They slam shoulders together like bumper cars and it's Torres who goes careening off across the ring. More wrestling and shoving off Torres misses. Jhonson lands a hard combo with Torres by the ropes. Torres keeps walking through his punches and trying to get inside to land big...but can't.

10-9 Jhonson

99-89 Jhonson (10 rounds to nothing, each man deducted a point)

 

They still have to read the scores of this snooze-fest - which leaves only about 15 minutes. :verysad It would have to be cut down to 4 rounds (so, in half) to make it on the broadcast.

Unless it already happened, and only went a few rounds...they could squeeze it in on delay. :think

 

Teddy also has 99-89...and so should every judge...


Ged O'Connor & Mike Ross 96-92
Don Balas 97-91

Huh?? :blood
