ESPN2: Romero C. Duno vs. Gilberto Josué González & Rey Padilla Pérez vs. Óscar Duarte Jurado RBR

Round 9

González is circling away, leaving a wide gap, in a sidelong crab stance, quickly shimmying in and out with jabs flung side-out from the chest, doubling them up while scissoring his legs to create more room and finding a home for the left cross. Duno is caught by several jabs on the face while hopping inside, and is even backed into the ropes a few times by straight lefts plugged into the belly. Duno is brushing the hairline with his jab falling in and pushing down on González, trying to find an uppercut inside.

10-9 González, close

87-84 Duno

 

Round 10

González is circling away, not jabbing much, just feinting, sometimes turning his near hip over to pretend he's about to start a hooking motion, attempting to get a rise and force a premature reaction from Duno so he can punish him in a bad position. Duno is cautious, smelling a trap. Very tactical round, both circling, feinting, neither walking into each other's ambushes. Subtle adjustments being made in terms of footwork. Uneventful round until a GIANT UPPERCUT BY DUNO from outta nowhere at mid-range with three-quarters of a minute left! González is rocked, has to hold on for a bit. Duno is walking him down, shifting his body weight forward threateningly. Duno feints a jab off the hip. González counters with a left hand.

10-9 Duno

97-93 Duno

UD for Romero C. Duno

 

That panel of judges did a good job twice in a row (co-main & main event).

Get all three of them working more cards, please.

 

Bombshell announcement: Mancini is calling out Duno for his comeback.

 

Mancini possibly the only guy on the planet that can play the "15 round era vs. 12 round era, blah-blah..." card and not instantly be told he needs to STFU?

 

Boom-Boom is a Rougarou fanboy.
