Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Hernán Márquez RBR

Round 5

Márquez is buzzing Estrada on the hairline with the left hand from outside. Estrada is rushing in, jabbing the body and bowling in a right uppercut on the other side, finishing with a hook on the chin stepping out. Márquez is showing ill effect now from the accumulation, his movements growing jerkier and less coordinated, his guard a bit more drunkenly assembled in between his own attacks. Estrada pushes Márquez into the ropes and blasts him with a sustained combination. Márquez weathers it and lands a NICE right upper-hook, giving chase with a left but missing as Estrada scoots back. HUGE left hook counter by Estrada, knocking Márquez into the ropes. Head to body combo by Estrada, flashing serious hand speed and punching with spite. Márquez standing up to it. Estrada warned for low blows. Multiple times.

10-9 Estrada

48-47 Estrada

 

If Márquez rallies back to clearly win even one more round this has the makings of a FOTY candidate.

 

Round 6

Márquez is starting off with a right hook, doubling it up as he reaches his target, staying in Estrada's chest and chopping with the left. Estrada ducks and slithers free and nails Márquez with a left hook at his preferred distance, medium. Body shots by Estrada hunkering down. Estrada is pumping a strong jab and pushes Márquez into the ropes. Márquez tosses a right hook and high left hand and misses as Estrada drops a level, taking Márquez's leather over his shoulder blades. 1-2 by Estrada, baiting Márquez, almost intentionally missing to get Márquez to counter so he can respond with his own counters. The tactic works! Márquez left himself open to an organ-busting left hook!! Down! Up! Estrada works the body! FURIOSO! Márquez down again!!! UP AGAIN! WHAT HEART! THEY GO TO WAR ON THE ROPES!!

10-7 Estrada

58-54 Estrada
