GBP on ESPN: Gary O'Sullivan vs. Berlin Vinicio Abreu Javier & Ryan García vs. Jayson Vélez RBR

Round 7

García is jabbing, face turned upward with a divot in the back of his neck as he sits back on a firm trapezoidal base of knees bent slightly outward, maintaining good balance as he coasts around the ring letting Vélez impale himself on 1-2s. As usual there are some clinches where García is ragdolled and touched on the body some, but largely the clean work during the periods they're pried apart is done by García from a safe distance.

10-9 García

69-64 García

 

How about Ogawa vs. Davis/García?

 

There's no longer-running, bitterer outside-the-ring grudge match brewed & ready in the sport except maybe Bam-Bam vs. Ortiz, which might be too late to be interesting anymore.

 

Round 8

García is on his bike now, running around the ring flicking jabs. García is almost decapitated by a sailing overhand right while faking Vélez out with a step left, then dash to his right. Vélez is hunting, squatting, rising, and rolling his shoulder up & in to haul in the right hand like a dock worker slinging bags of fish onto the pier. Everything misses. García exploiting a speed advantage with his feet as much as (in fact more so) than with his mitts.

10-9 García

79-73 García
