GBP on RingTV: Trinidad Emilio Sánchez vs. José Santos Piedras González RBR

Both undefeated, not sure which is the "house fighter" and which is supposed to be getting fed to him.

The southpaw Vargas is certainly showing more urgency to keep his zero early on. Hines content to spoil.

 

^ Neither is from Cali, and neither is promoted by GBP.

(Hines is from D.C., and Vargas from Arizona)

 

Low blows galore (both ways)

 

Not even getting dark yet in Pasadena. They're fighting in full sunlight.

 

Incidental left uppercut low blow from Vargas but the ref didn't see it...made Hines double over and nearly take a knee.

 

UD for Vargas.

Weirdly then choosing to zoom in on her shoulder-blade instead:

 

Oscar looking as ready as ever to segue into a secondary career in twink porn. (but for a very niche audience seeking chunky middle-aged femmes)

 

ugh, these damn thots and their creative liberties taken with the anthem...

in this case at least she didn't start ululating like she was belting out an R&B jam.

 

The main event of this card, btw, originally was supposed to feature Kerobyan rebounding from his March loss to Blair Cobbs by taking on the returning Óscar Molina Casillas (last seen on a bumpy three-year skid from 2015 until 2017 in which he went from unblemished to having a draw and two losses on his record - a battering at the hands of Jarrett Hurd and then a very tepid effort in which he was rightly denied the verdict against Levan Gvhamichava). Molina pulled out last-minute, so here we are.

 

Oh FFS we sat through all that dead air with a wide shot of the crowd milling around, then a cringey interview with ODLH passing a giant hundred thousand dollar check to Pasadena's mayor or whatever, and then a bad rendition of the star-spangled banner, and now TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES right when the main fights are supposed to start??!

 

Ah, we're back on...but somehow Jonathan Coachman's voice & face just cannot, in any context, provide any comfort or relief.

 

Evangelista got the call to sub in for Molina on Tuesday night, says Dougie Fischer.

 

Bektemir Rozmatjon Ogli Meliqoziyev vs. Ricardo Adrián Luna Flores, 8 rounds @ light heavyweight

 

This would seem like a crazy premature step-up for a sophomore bout - if the Uzbek southpaw hadn't made his pro debut against fucking Martín Fidel Ríos on a GBP undercard in June.

(he iced Ríos with a body shot in ninety seconds; KO1..)
