Lee Selby vs. Fernando Montiel & Devon Alexander vs. Aaron Martinez RBR

Round 9

Alexander is failing to dissuade Martinez with his wavy southpaw jab. Martinez is pushing his way in, back arched, gloves cupping his ears, playing whack-a-mole against the Alexander right jab, timing it midair with a casual descent of his left glove. Martinez is catching Alexander below the ear with a short chopping right as they spin in the pocket. Alexander is throwing quick wide flurries while turning Martinez and missing. Hooks traded, Martinez landing his left simultaneous with Alexander's right, neither with much starch on it as neither has their feet set, whirling around each other.

10-9 Martinez

86-85 Alexander

 

On my card this is on pace to be a draw unless something dramatic happens.

 

Cunningham asks for the KO.

 

Atlas has it 86-85 Alexander.

 

Yes, while Josesito's TKO5 victory is now looking pretty nice.

 

Sucking harder than Yusaf Mack.

 

Round 10

Alexander is putting Martinez in headlocks and bumping & grinding inside, dinging Martinez high on the crown with very light right hooks. No leverage on Alexander's shots, and his speed is well past its half-life, reduced exponentially. Martinez is throwing away jabs toward Alexander's chest and sending a hard right sailing and connecting on Alexander's jaw. Big exchange in the last ten seconds, Martinez landing more.

10-9 Martinez

95-95
