Jorge Arce vs. Simphiwe Nongqayi II RBR

Terrazas outdoes Rafael Marquez by two rounds. :deal

Becerril has lost three in a row, seven of eight and eight of ten (several by stoppage).

Hopefully he is OK for cash and doesn't need to keep getting beaten up for a living.

 

Another bout before the main event.

Abraham Alvarez Ozuna vs. Francisco Kikin Rios, welterweights.

14-1 vs. 5-2-1.

 

Round 1

They each land jabs and are both stunned. Rios jabs at the belly of the taller Osuna, and tries to work right hands over the top. Osuna circles out to his left and puts out firm jabs with his legs splayed in a wide base. Good balance to be doing that and getting away with it. Osuna starts to back Rios up along the ropes with his jab. Osuna starts throwing a hook but aborts as Rios flashes out a wild upper-hook. Neither lands as Osuna shifts into reverse. Rios whacks him with an overhand right. Rios is getting close with uppercuts but not pressing in after each single blow.

 

Round 2

Osuna jabs and goes left. Rios tries to chip his way in leaning forward and is able to touch Osuna only by grabbing him. Osuna keeps his distance and lands the jab, successfully putting a right uppercut behind it when navigating the ropes to buy some time. Cuffing hook by Osuna. Push-down. Osuna is caught and holds. Now Rios starts to rush in and whip Osuna with body shots. Osuna uproots and replants his feet, as though walking through something sticky. Jabs from Osuna on the outside, landing well. Rios tries to jab in but Osuna tips back above the waist to slip and then comes back to land his jab solidly.

20-18 Osuna

 

Negative.
