FS1: Sammy Vasquez, Jr. vs. José Eduardo López RBR

"This has become basically a sparring session"

- P. Malignaggi

:nod

 

Round 5

Santiago is wrestling off the two-armed snatches of Ortiz, throwing quick looping body shots with his knees bent and body dipped to either side. Ortiz is sweeping his right arm across Santiago's backside and clubbing with both hands clumsily on the inside, just looking to cling to Santiago and pray for contact.

10-9 Santiago

50-45 Santiago

 

Marcos Villegas ("the official PBC historian"? :blood) has it 50-45 Santiago.

 

Santiago has been dominant and in control throughout, but Ortiz is too slow and too sloppy for him to be imposing his will physically even in spurts (with the messy inside spoiling/brawling this frequently degenerates into) not to be embarrassing. :verysad

 

Round 6

Santiago is maneuvering around Ortiz, bracing with a free hand and getting position before starting a combo with the other. Ortiz just wades in and swipes lazily at Santiago, brushing him with his inner wrists at best. Santiago focuses on the body, hooking and moving.

10-9 Santiago

60-54 Santiago

 

:nod

A lousy one just exposed him (while getting shut out)

 

Official cards:

60-54
60-54
60-54

UD for Milton Santiago

 

Oh now I get what PBC is doing here.

Put on two mediocre prospects who struggle with scrubs, and Vasquez will look GODLY in comparison beating a live body. :hey

 

Almost forgot, was :rofling at this on the bus.

 

...that and he's a lech and grew up in NYC.
