Hernan Marquez vs. Richie Mepranum II & David Sanchez vs. Jose Carlos Vargas RBR

Round 3

Mepranum starts the round well, stepping in with left hands. Marquez circles and opens up with combos, ripping Mepranum a new ******* with right hooks and overhand lefts. Mepranum thrusts his lead foot forward and throws some right jabs at the body while hunched over. NICE 1-2 to the body by Mepranum. Marquez backs up a bit, trying to gauge the distance. Right hook by Mepranum while Marquez is mulling things over. Clinch.

10-9 Mepranum

29-27 Marquez

 

Richie did win that night - and clearly - but IMO that was one of Tyson's shittiest performances. He simply allowed Mepranum to beat him on work rate, when it's clear he's the better boxer and bigger puncher (IMO). :conf

 

Jorge Arce and Orlando Salido are chilling at ringside (sandwiching some really hot chick) and loving every minute of this fight...pumping their fists and hooting & hollering.

I want to be hanging out in the first row with them! :| ...preferably with the cutie in my lap...

 

Box Azteca has the same score as me, but via a different path.

They gave Mepranum the 1st and Marquez the 3rd. (opposite for me).

Obviously the 2nd was an indisputable 10-8 for Marquez.

 

Round 4

Mepranum is aggressive, throwing hooks and left hands. Marquez circles to his right, edging away toward the ropes. Very little output from Marquez. Baffling. He just hugs the ropes and ducks. BIG right hook by Marquez, a counter. Mepranum isn't bothered, and keeps coming forward thrusting his southpaw jab. Combo by Marquez, ducked and blocked. BIG OVERHAND LEFT BY MEPRANUM! RIGHT HOOKS TO THE BODY. Marquez is backed up across the ring.

10-9 Mepranum

38-37 Marquez

 

This might just be FOTN.

 

Round 5

Marquez circles to his right, giving Mepranum a wide berth. Big left by Mepranum. BIG COMBO BY MARQUEZ!! LEFTS AND RIGHTS!!! BANG BANG BANG! Right hook to the intestines! Mepranum took it well. Mepranum ducks in and throws a high right hook. Marquez is backed up to the ropes with wild overhead hooks thrown by Mepranum. Marquez circles to his left. Marquez covers up as Mepranum BASHES him with hard straight power combos, mostly hitting gloves but knocking Marquez back. BIG LEFT UPPERCUT BY MARQUEZ. Clinch. Shoeshine. Mepranum complains of a headbutt, pawing at his eye. Overhand left and right hook combo by Marquez. Shots up top by Mepranum. AMAZING ROUND.

48-46 Marquez

 

:rofl :yep

 

Round 6

BIG LEFT BY MARQUEZ. Clinch. Mepranum totters in, rocking from heel to arch of foot, and throws jabs and scything lefts to the body. Marquez falls in with an overhand left and is countered with a rabbit bop atop the crown. Long right jabs by Mepranum, squatting and aiming down low. Marquez circles right, well wide. Mepranum jabs hard coming forward. Marquez dives in with a 1-2, deflected. Mepranum lands his own left cross. BIG RIGHT HOOK BY MEPRANUM, backs Marquez up. Left hand lead by Mepranum! Marquez is looking somewhat fragile, backing up toward the ropes. HARD 1-2 by Marquez, blocked. Mepranum hops in place and comes forward jabbing. Marquez loads up and misses a big hook. Mepranum slips a jab and lands a hook, then falls in with a high left crashing into Marquez's gloves. Looping left and right jab by Marquez while abruptly turning Mepranum.

10-9 Mepranum

57-56 Marquez

 

No ****.

Mayol would have been flat on his back by now, IMO.

 

This is a ****ing WAR. Even the between-round highlights have my heart racing!!!!!!
