Librado Andrade vs. Matt O'Brien & Enrique Ornelas vs. Alfredo Contreras RBR

Yes, indeed.

Juan Velasquez is on his way to the ring to a VERY funky tune.

:think

Boxrec has him listed as 0-1, but they're saying here that he's actually 6-6. Boxrec is NOT an authority on boxing records, fine a resource as it is.

Either way, the 10-0 (5) Ivan Morales is the favorite in this flyweight 4 rounder.

 

Maybe, but thanks to him O'Brien will be doing those things in September 2011.

 

Whoa, freaky. Morales has a face tattoo of like a lightning bolt right by his right eye.

Tyson's monopoly on that kooky quirk among pugilists is OVAH!!

 

Did the James Brown have anything to do with it? :yep

 

Round 1

Morales throws some wild shots, and is getting tagged by shorter ones from Velasquez. Power seems to be with Morales as clearly as height and reach (landslide) but speed and accuracy with Velasquez. Morales is throwing right jabs and getting countered.

 

Round 2

Velasquez is walked back across the ring as Morales pushes in. Wild uppercuts from Velasquez. Morales doubles his right jab but doesn't land it. Looping right by Velasquez, hits arm. Both are missing lots of punches. Morales lands a cross behind a hook but otherwise doesn't get more than one touch at a time. Very ugly stuff. Morales throws himself off balance reaching with a 1-2. Velasquez down at the end of the round - slip? Yeah, slip.
