Fox Sports 1: McWilliams Arroyo vs. Froilan Saludar RBR

Round 4

Colon is stalking, approaching to just outside the scope of Garcia's jab and leaning back as Garcia extends a few testers into the air in front of his chest. Colon is ducking in under the jab and doubling left hooks on the body. Pause. Tape fixed on Colon's glove. Time in. More sneak-in hooks on the body from Colon, ducking the slow Garcia jab. Chopping rights on the neck by Colon. Garcia carries both hands low, jabbing up from the chin to Colon's eyes. Garcia stumbles and grabs the ropes just before the bell.

10-9 Colon

40-35 Colon

Round 5

Colon is working in low clipping Garcia with left hooks downstairs, following with the overhand right up top. Garcia down. Colon is plugging Garcia with right hand leads from the hip. Garcia loses his gum shield. Time in. Another surprise right from below by Colon. Garcia falls back on the seat of his pants, dazed.

TKO5!

 

Colon reaches double-digits with a perfect kayo rate. :toney

 

True, but I don't think you can fairly judge him like a normal 10-0 prospect since more than half of his bouts so far have ended in the first and he only debuted last year. He only has 20 rounds' worth of experience, so really his progress level is more akin to a prospect with half the fights.

 

Yeah, after his failure to capitalize on the momentum carried from the first knockdown into the fourth, I was starting to worry about his ability to finish a reluctant victim (and figured his earlier stoppage record, then, probably was padded with guys who just came to lie down as soon as the going roughened...) but he won me over in that 5th. He meant business and went about it coolly and efficiently.

 

Cesar Seda vs. Alex Rangel, 10 rounds @ super bantamweight

 

This should be fairly one-sided. Seda is legitimately world class, having only lost to a couple of elites while they were unbeaten and reigning world champs.

I said back around the unsuccessful Narvaez challenge that he should eventually hold a title himself, in some division or another.
