ESPN5/Aksyon TV Survival Instinct: Mark Anthony Barriga vs. Gabriel Emilio Mendoza Lora RBR

Amanda Fernandez, I love you.

 

Genesis Servania vs. Jason Butar Butar, 8 rounds @ featherweight

 

@BoyBato the RBR is here.

 

"Juli Mike Tyson" is a weird nickname, just saying.

 

Round 1

Servania is rolling the right hand into the body and forming a ligature with the high left hook to strangle off Butar Butar's escape. Servania is letting the jab of Butarx2 skid off his crown and the knuckle pads of his gloves as he weaves in, hitting the body, just missing with a big hook rising up. Servania is walking Butarx2 into the ropes, but the Indonesian manages to slink free before Servania can start teeing off. Another near trapping in the corner, big right from Servania, close shave. Butarx2 now starting to dip his back against the ropes to buoy himself away from Servania, barely avoiding some bombs.

10-9 Servania

 

Round 2

Butarx2 is stepping up to bat, toeing his spot by home plate confidently and taking a few base-hit rips at the body. Servania throwing with a lot of nervous energy, starting his combos with looping rights up top, bouncing and wiggling around in the pocket. Butarx2 remaining poised, sticking the jab into the chest, hammering down with some rights to cow Servania and back him off. Butarx2 showing really nice movement, actually, twisting up Servania's ankles somewhat, able to raise his guard for timely blocks when Servania explodes with aggravated flurries pitching forward. Butarx2 doing a great job not getting stuck on the ropes.

10-9 Butar Butar, close

19-19

 

Round 3

Servania is clawing & troweling at the body, heavy stuff either landing or grazing downstairs. Butarx2 is keeping his distance, extending the jab, his straighter & tidier punches failing to keep Servania at bay. Wild combos from Servania, jabbing the body and then looping a right at the head, proving effective in shifting the ring generalship back Servania's way after he seemed a little perplexed in the 2nd. Servania happily eats a jab and then charges in, slapping Butarx2 with a hook. Counter uppercut from Butarx2. Right hand and left hook by Servania, grazing as Butarx2 careens along the ropes. Another flurry by Servania, possibly hurting Butarx2, in any event making him sit low on the middle rope for a moment.

10-9 Servania

29-28 Servania

 

Round 4

Servania is towel-snapping a jab on the stomach and then crashing down with rights or sweeping up big fat hooks at the head. Butarx2 is running, strafing past the corners, and tying up whenever he can. Very little offense from the Indonesian now, unless forced to exchange, then he gets desperate, scoring jabs and doubled-up left hooks on the body as Servania, grinning, starts to pile on his own body shots.

10-9 Servania

39-37 Servania

 

For some reason I thought Servania was a more technical boxer than what he's showing today.

 

Round 5

Servania is sledging the right into the sides of Butarx2. Big-dipper left hooks from Servania, sending Butarx2 tumbling bodily into the ropes. Servania using body shots to set up bombs upstairs, and he connects on a big looper sending Butarx2 down! Butarx2 up and running. Another right hand dinged upside the head, set up by wide body shots, Servania ducks a counter right hand from the Indonesian and plants a hard left on the liver, and Butarx2 is down and done for.

TKO5!
