Golden Boy Fight Night on FacebookWatch: Jorge Luis Linares Palencia vs. Abner Cotto Román RBR

Means we have the good fortune to watch a lot of good, close fights together.

 

Jo-Jo Diaz has it 49-45 Duno.

 

Round 6

Duno is bashing Avilés into the corner with a right, at first just hitting the guard but eventually battering it down and trapping Avilés nearly against the Golden Boy logo bedecked turnbuckle pad. Duno catches him flush and ROCKS Avilés! Down he goes. Avilés is up and jabbing his way to safety but Duno is stalking, forcing a nicely turned over jab (turning his thumb over as he punches, facing palm to floor) into the chest and chin of Avilés, or breaking through his guard when he can muster it. Avilés tired and hurt but doing his best to stay in this, jabbing and moving. Duno claps him with another right up top, followed by a stiff jab and BOOM. Avilés down again.

10-7 Duno

58-53 Duno

 

Avilés is a goddamn STUD. If he answers the bell for the seventh (let alone lasts eight) he's a new favorite of mine.

 

Jo-Jo Diaz has it 59-52 Duno (giving him the sixth 10-7, needless to say - be shocked if anybody in the world scored it otherwise)

 

Round 7

Duno is still giving Avilés respect, as this is a wounded animal, but not mortally so, from the looks of it. Avilés is still jabbing, smoothly moving to his left, and diving in with rights before escaping outside. Duno is walking forward, jabbing patiently, tagging Avilés on the frontal lobe with a couple of line drive rights that hurt Avilés but can not quite find one to put him down again, with Avilés constantly moving and recovering instantly whenever he is hurt. Avilés opens up in the last half-minute winging in a couple of hooks to draw his line in the sand, but Duno quickly resumes generalship, backing Avilés up with right hands.

10-9 Duno, sorta close

68-62 Duno

 

Round 8

Avilés is throwing with gusto now, circling to his right inside Duno's reach, leading with hooks, daring him to brawl. Avilés dives in low and scythes the body with both hands. Duno is carefully working the body himself, stamping Avilés' sides nicely. When he starts headhunting, Duno's connect percentage dips as his jabs come nowhere close to Avilés. They swap big overhands at mid-range for the final minute, alternately blocking and getting through. Avilés doubles a hook and is shrugged away by a dismissive jab from Duno. Right hand by Avilés. HARD COMBO BY DUNO. Avilés wobbly but saved by the bell, did a whole dance but managed to not go down. If he did it would've been a three point swing and become 10-8 Duno instead of 10-9 Avilés which it remains.

10-9 Avilés

77-72 Duno
