Rico Ramos vs. Cuauhtemoc Vargas, super bantamweights (8 rounds)

Round 1

Ramos popping the left jab and swatting away the short looping shots of Vargas. Ramos begins to bring a hard right hand behind the jab. Vargas throws a badly telegraphed hook that Ramos ducks. Ramos begins to touch and go, throwing light flurries on top of his jab. Vargas keeps trying to get a high hook to the temple but isn't landing flush. Vargas again misses a telegraphed hook but brings a right hand behind it as Ramos pulls straight back.

10-9 Ramos

 

Nope. He'll most likely outpoint Vargas, but he's probably not a champion of tomorrow.

 

Round 2

Sloppy missing from both. Ramos ducks under and around a slow Vargas hook. Then he gets comfortable standing in front of him and Vargas pops him in the face with a jab. Ramos has his mouthpiece hanging out a bit as he grins. Ramos now jabbing and moving backward. They work in the clinch, with Vargas encouraging an exchange of body punches. Ramos slaps Vargas' sides and tries to clamp on him to take away punching room. Ramos then pushes off and tries to box on the outside again. Vargas comes at Ramos and ducks a 1-2. They posture for twenty seconds.

You know what? Ramos didn't land anything as well as Vargas got him to the body.

Even through 2.

 

Round 3

Vargas following and getting intercepted with left hook & right hand combos. Vargas not forcing the issue or showing any plan B. Ramos is waiting and watching, jabbing occasionally but not looking to lead. Ramos more or less runs out the last twenty seconds.

29-28 Ramos
