Ik Yang vs Cesar Rene Cuenca RBR

Round 6

Cuenca is neutralizing Yang's aggression with graceful navigation and sharp counter 1-2s. Yang occasionally barrels in with a heavy clubbing hail-Mary right and gets bopped on the schnoz with a short left. Cuenca is starting to sprinkle a right hook into his ****nal.

10-9 Cuenca

58-54 Cuenca

 

As Cuenca starts to get tired the height and reach advantage of Yang is really coming into play.

 

Cuenca has such a good stamina cuz he never threw a power punch.

Close round, each guy had their spots. I'll give it to Yang

67-64 Cuenca

 

Round 7

Cuenca is calm and composed even as Yang marches on him with bad intentions. Cuenca is ducking very low and tilting his upper half at slight angles, but enough to stay off-center, disrupting Yang's ponderous and telegraphed attacks, leaving room for Cuenca to spring up with double jabs and left crosses. More right hooks from Cuenca.

10-9 Cuenca

68-63 Cuenca

 

Incorrect. Yang has been knocked off-balance several times. (doesn't help that his balance is poor to begin with, but you can't fault Cuenca's punching technique. Considering his lack of raw pop, he is doing a fine job keeping Yang's respect)

 

It's not a world class fight, but it is exciting to watch.
