GBP on ESPN2: Neeco Montiel Macias vs. Jesús Soto Karass RBR

Round 5

Soto Karass is now ducking inward slightly, butt pressed against the turnbuckle, burying his head against the outer part of each of Macias' biceps, letting his opponents' fists fly past him as he loads up big counter body punches. Soto Karass also keeping a high page, throwing light peppering body hooks in between his meatier uppercuts. Macias is just winging and winging and winging, but all of it is very light and feathery and poorly aimed (not that Soto Karass is difficult to find).

10-9 Soto Karass

48-47 Macias

 

36 isn't that old, mother****er!

 

Round 6

Macias is pressing into Soto Karass and hacking down, and the ref warns him for kidney punches. Soto Karass is steamrolled backward but working his way off the ropes with a series of light uppercuts and bowling right hands into the mandible after pulling the bowstring with his elbow popping over the top rope. Macias is whipping rights against the hip and trying for left hooks up top but just dusting the scalp of Soto Karass or kissing the nape as snowy rabbit punches.

10-9 Soto Karass

Round 7

Soto Karass is ripping roundhouse right hands into the head and body while laying against the ropes. Macias is pressing his way in, grinding his face into Soto Karass' chest (or crown) with his neck bent backward and paddling lightly on the body with uppercuts or bringing around wide, fat, soft hooks with both hands. Soto Karass taking much of this on the outer arms or shoulders and landing cleaner with his more forceful (but still plentiful) body shots.

10-9 Soto Karass

67-66 Soto Karass
