Jhonny Gonzalez vs. Rogers Mtagwa & Antonio Escalante vs. Pipino Cuevas Jr. RBR

Bonus swing bout coming up!!!!!

Joel Garcia vs. Ricky Lacefield, 4 rounds @ flyweight.

We're actually going to have seen the entire card from El Paso!!! (except the women's boxing match...but...does that even count? ...no sexist...)

 

Damn. Garcia is a ****ing specimen. You don't often see flyweights - let alone 21 year old flyweights - with that kind of muscle definition.

He's also 2-0. His scrawny, pasty eighteen year old opponent has fought once - and lost.

 

Round 1

Lacefield jabs and pulls his head back. Nice defense by Lacefield, actually. Garcia keeps firing straight shots and finding Lacefield able to move sinuously around them, until a right lands flush. Garcia is backed up by a 1-2. They hook together and Lacefield looks a bit surprised by the one he takes. Nice jab by Lacefield backing up. Garcia tosses out several quick stabbing shots but misses. Lacefield is backed up with thudding body shots, and pushed into the ropes. Lacefield bounces off and continues getting backed up. Flush uppercut by Garcia snaps his head back. Clinch. Garcia bashes with his free right hand down low. More body shots by Garcia, and a right hand connects up top. Lacefield now spins Garcia into a corner and plows away to the body. They clinch and spin, now with Lacefield pinned into the corner. They move out by mutual agreement to the middle of the ring and come at each other with high punches that result in another clinch.

10-9 Garcia

 

Lacefield isn't here to lose! :bbb

 

Round 2

Garcia lands hard left hooks and right hands. Lacefield is pitching forward trying to clinch with his arms curled up against him and throwing desperate bombs on the way in, already wincing in anticipation as he lets loose. Garcia lands another big right and gets Lacefield muck-stepping away. Lacefield gives a sarcastic nod to get in Garcia's head. They trade big right hands over the top. Lacefield is going to war! Garcia just batters him back to the ropes, too much sharpness and power. Lacefield is getting shots in and manages to clinch despite being pushed around the ring under fire. Left hook is left cupped around Garcia's neck to brace, and a pair of fast uppercuts is delivered by Lacefield before stepping around the side. Garcia walks into a left upper-hook but lands a couple of forceful jabs.

 

Round 3

Garcia is trying to put out straights shots in twos and threes but consistently gets hooked in the side of the head by Lacefield. Garcia starts to get through and back Lacefield up but is given an awful headache as hooks home in on his right temple. Mouthpiece out. In. Stiff jab by Garcia. Slapping overhand shot by Lacefield backing up, and then a pair of hooks even as Garcia drills him against the ropes with his straight power punches. Up-jab is flicked by Lacefield, but parried down with a wave of Garcia's hand and nearly countered (missing thanks to a quick-thinking duck on Lacefield's part). Nasty whipping body shot by Garcia, and he follows up with a head-jolting 1-2. Another skull-shaker jab by Garcia, but Lacefield keeps throwing until the bell.

30-27 Garcia, but he is being forced to earn his third professional win...and Lacefield wants his first...
