ESPN2 TNF: Mauricio Herrera vs. Ji Hoon Kim & Miguel Acosta vs. Miguel Gonzalez RBR

Round 6

Herrera is burying the uppercut as he leans in against Kim and stalls his advance, but doesn't halt it. Kim presses in and wails away with slaps, missing as Herrera rolls his neck and undulates through in the pocket. BIG overhand right swung up and over after landing an uppercut to Kim's body, before stepping back and flurrying.

10-9 Herrera

60-54 Herrera

 

Round 7

Herrera is hooking at Kim's face after covering up to block Kim's jabs and clubbing rights from outside. Herrera is scoring with flush uppercuts on the bottom of the jaw and drilling his skull into Kim's stomach to push him. Jabs snapped out into the face by Herrera while gliding left. Smooth footwork by Herrera, barely lifting his shoes. Kim throws some wild up-jabs and Herrera slips effortlessly while moving and leaning. Kim slaps in some wide roundhouse body shots and they beach on Herrera's forearms. Slick ducking and weaving by Herrera, not even moving all that fast but spotting and timing all of Kim's offense in plenty of time. Jab and uppercut counters by Herrera.

10-9 Herrera

70-63 Herrera

 

Nothing to investigate.

He doesn't really have the best chin, despite seeming to rely on it and use it as a leather magnet.

Lenny Zappa has some power, despite being otherwise pretty average. I'm not sure about the fellow Korean that knocked him out (that was Byung Kyung Yoon's only pro bout, ever :think) but he must have some as well.

It's that most of his opposition doesn't really have much power. Look at the best he's fought: Vazquez, Amidu, Rahimov, Marali, Gogoladze, Harris - feather-fists, all. The only real puncher he faced besides Zappa was Ameth Diaz and he caught him cold, basically lucky to land first.
