Juan Carlos Sanchez Jr. vs. Rodel Mayol & Jorge Arce vs. Mauricio Martinez RBR

Mayol is bossing this kid, despite giving up several inches.

 

Round 6

Mayol is catching right jabs on the gloves as he moves in, cuffing left hooks across the base of Sanchez's neck. A few rights jabs to the body by Sanchez, and he boldly works his way up to a 1-1-2 to the face. Mayol is undeterred and keeps circling to his right, waving his head around like a joystick, moving in from odd angles to jab at Sanchez's head or work the body. High jab by Mayol and Sanchez takes the opportunity to drape his arms over him and push down on him.

10-9 Mayol

58-56 Mayol

 

Round 7

Mayol is ducking back and turning his head as Sanchez puts in long jabs from outside. Left hand by Sanchez connects flush and momentarily shocks Mayol (and the crowd) but the Filipino quickly recovers and resumes applying pressure behind his high left jab. Right hook counter by Sanchez, sliding backward into ideal range. Sanchez is keeping Mayol at arm's length now, jabbing at him and dropping lefts to the body to slow any hurried attacks. Head clash, and Mayol is badly cut. Time out to check it. Time in. Mayol is following Sanchez around and lunging up top with both hands, getting ducked and countered. Right hook, straight left hand by Sanchez before stepping out of reach.

10-9 Sanchez

67-66 Mayol

Round 8

OH, WAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Sanchez is taking it to Mayol, straight shots to the face with both hands!! Mayol is burying his chin in his chest and hooking back at him overhead! All power punches, both ways!! Sanchez slapping over the top and snapping out straight shots into the face as Mayol works hooks and overhands! Carpet bombing! Sanchez is pushing Mayol back and raining arms down on his back. Now Mayol takes over, hooking Sanchez back across the ring. Mayol's cut is worsening, dripping into his eye. Sanchez rallies!! Several unanswered lefts and rights stuck straight into Mayol's face, and he seems to be slipping by the ropes, about to go down! He does go down! Ruled a slip!!

10-9 Sanchez

76-76
