Fox Sports 1: McWilliams Arroyo vs. Froilan Saludar RBR

McWilliams Arroyo vs. Froilan Saludar, 12 rounds @ flyweight

 

Round 1

Arroyo is working his way forward, high jabbing from his forehead. Saludar is bouncing around in a wide circle, moving in and out with drop-in combos. Arroyo is catching Saludar's 1-2s on his forearms and tossing jabs out while Saludar bounces away. Body and head combos snapped in by Saludar while hopping in and out busily, turning Arroyo.

10-9 Saludar

 

This is an IBF flyweight title eliminator, by the way.

 

Round 2

Saludar is sniping with lead rights on the body, pulling quickly back out and lining up 1-2s over the knuckles of Arroyo, brushing along the hairline lightly. Arroyo is moving forward in straight lines trying to get a bead on Saludar. Lead left hook by Arroyo, wide and slow, ducked. It was a lulling shot - Arroyo repeats the hook - this one faster and sharper. Saludar runs into the punch coming up from a duck with a lazy jab, right hand low, taking it on his chin, and goes down, and OUT!

TKO2!!

 

Damn that was crazy. This was shaping up to be an upset, and then KABOOM!
