Josh Warrington vs. Dennis Tubieron RBR

Round 10

Warrington is repeatedly hitting Tubieron with both the inclined right hand from the waist to the cheek and heavily turned over left hooks on the trunks. Tubieron is getting hammered into the corner. Warrington is especially effective with the left hook though he is getting lazy with keeping the right glove up, Tubieron catching him with some overhand lefts while willingly eating the hooks (knowing he can't avoid them anyway), gone kamikaze.

10-9 Warrington

100-90 Warrington

 

Round 11

Warrington is squatting and trotting left as Tubieron pours leather down upon him, missing the head as Warrington moves it side to side and pokes with counter jabs while turning him. Warrington switches direction, suddenly upright, moving to his right, throwing jabs. Tubieron is cautious, tossing right jabs from the hip, bouncing around on the outside. Time out, fixing tape on Warrington's glove. Time in. Tubieron is putting together right and left hooks dipping into the pocket. Warrington covers up and makes him hit arm, and backs him off with counters 1-2s. Tubieron bends to his left so they skid off his backside. Warrington is forcing exchanges, pushing Tubieron into the corner. Both sloppy and missing. Warrington seemingly having trouble closing his fist all the way and turning punches over properly since the re-taping. Tubieron just missing outright because he's Tubieron.

10-9 Warrington

110-99 Warrington

 

Tubieron is coached (or assistant coached - his was among three names listed in his corner on Sky's graphic) by Gabriel Elorde Jr. - son of the legendary Flash.

 

Round 12

Warrington is launching straight right leads into the sternum to back Tubieron against the ropes and then whipping him across the face with left hooks. Tubieron is standing up to everything with the same diligent aplomb shown in the first eleven, but scrabbling wildly as he catapults himself inside to lay a hand on Warrington, unsuccessfully as ever. Incidental rabbit punches or grazing shots are all that's in the cards for the man from the Philippines. The Leedsman, meanwhile, has regained some of the tidiness in his boxing, using left hook feints to set up flush lead rights and then following up with stiff jabs. Tubieron goes down, but no punch was thrown, ruled correctly a slip - perhaps on a sweat-moistened advert logo on the ring floor.

10-9 Warrington

120-108 Warrington

 

Too much firepower in one ring. The world ain't ready.

UD for Josh Warrington

 

Huh. Every judge gave Tubieron one round at least. The Finn also had another one level.

 

...for Slowey, or Selby? :huh
