...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Teen prodigy and Top Rank prospect Xander Yarob Zayas Castro will be in action on the undercard.

Zayas was signed at just 16, and turns 18 literally tomorrow (so he will be a five bout veteran prior to legal adulthood).

 

Boxeo Telemundo: main event first.

 

Juan Antonio Morán Escobar vs. Luis Rafael Solís Ancona, 10 rounds @ welterweight

 

Round 1

Morán catching most of Solís' 1-2s on his forearms, but getting nicked by the follow-up left hook that is occasionally sprinkled in as he's reeling backward to reset. Morán countering with jabs and firm right hands plunged into the waistline of Solís, who is using good quick head movement to avoid power shots up top, quickly jerking his neck and shoulders out as needed and baiting Morán into misfiring with twitch-feints.

10-9 Morán, close

 

This card was also simulcast on ESPN Knockout, so they did show more bouts - and Telemundo might show after-card as they usually do but I'm not sure whether it'll be live stuff or whatever aired on ESPNK just on delay.

 

Round 2

Morán is getting a little reckless now, finding he can get a favorable jelly-legged reaction from Solís when he combines the left hook with a wide sweeping right during exchanges - but these looping shots leave him open to counters and Solís is also scoring with vicious digs on the body and stiff jabs coming up off bent knees and clipping the chin of Morán from directly in front of his chest.

10-9 Morán, close again

20-18 Morán

 

Just checked the cable guide, and they have a one-hour slot...which given this is a ten-rounder means they could probably squeeze in one more. I'm guessing Zayas' fight, given the hype around him.

 

Round 3

Morán is jabbing Solís in the stomach from long range, then scratching at his armpits with long shallow uppercuts, doing effective work until he blunders in close and gets drawn into hooking exchanges with Solís, who is better at ducking & weaving, and punching fluidly on the lateral step. Morán getting the best of it when controlling the distance and drowning Solís with straights.

10-9 Morán, super duper close

30-27 Morán
