Leo Santa Cruz vs. Kiko Martinez & Julio Ceja vs. Hugo Ruiz II RBR

Round 3

Santa Cruz popping Martinez in the grill with straight rights and uppercuts. Martinez is scoring with powerful jabs, threaded into the eye of the needle when Santa Cruz is letting his arms splay out from long range leaving openings. Both landing a lot of slaps on the bicep and chest. Santa Cruz has a bloody nose.

10-9 Santa Cruz, but CLOSE

30-25 Santa Cruz

 

Round 4

Santa Cruz is firing tirelessly, on pace to put up a fourth straight frame of triple digit hurls. Martinez is doing some good work cutting the ring off and slicing his way past Santa Cruz's backfoot offense with a strong jab, and is swinging for the fences with bad intent, but getting outlanded by sheer volume (if not accuracy percentage)

10-9 Santa Cruz

40-34 Santa Cruz

 

This will be my last round watching this one live, as Crawford vs. Lundy is higher priority (even though for having started with a 10-7 round this one has turned out to be pretty good), setting DVR for the rest.
