Luis Concepcion vs. Oscar Gallardo RBR

@ Explosivo's corner hoisting him up on their shoulders.

It's like one of those liberal education models, I guess. A+ for effort all around. Everyone gets a participation badge!!

 

Official cards:

Uh-oh. "Decision dividida".

Arturo Sanchez 76-75 Cabarca
Orlando Sano 76-75 Vides
Alex Marin 76-75...

SD for Dirceu "El Explosivo" Cabarca

:blood

What. The. ****.

 

The commentators - even through the language barrier - obviously seem embarrassed by this.

There's some guy in the ring interviewing Cabarca, I guess he's the Panamanian version of Jim Gray because he seems to be annoying Cabarca by showing him replays of the KD and asking him questions in a tone that suggests "You don't think you really earned this, do you?" :yep

 

Well, whatever...feel bad for the 21 year old kid robbed at home against a guy like a foot shorter than him, who he pretty soundly outboxed and even dropped...but what can you do, that is the way of this sport sometimes :verysad...

El Nica is up next.

 

It's almost like they gave him sympathy rounds just for the bravery/stupidity of giving the southpaw stance (clearly foreign to him) the ol' college try against a guy several inches taller - even though it really didn't lead to any clean effective punching for him. :?

Also, the best policy is to avoid them altogether but you certainly aren't supposed to give someone like FIVE sympathy rounds in an 8-rounder. atsch

 

Oscar "Baby" Gallardo is in the ring to some mariachi.

 

Here comes Luis "El Nica" Concepcion to some rhythmic drums & chanting.

Whoa, a whole lineup of Panamanian honeys dressed like female Mortal Kombat characters are in the ring flanking the M.C.

 

Memorial ten count for someone - presumably a fighter or some other pugilistic fixture (judge, ref, trainer, commission head) from Panama passed away.

 

OK, now they're all kissing Celestino "Pelenchin" Caballero's butt as he mugs around the ring and does short little bows like a monk.

They gave him a trophy.

 

Damn.

That is one scrawny Mexican. (Gallardo)

I think if you opened the door during a snowstorm, he might literally get swept out and buried alive in the drifts.

 

They just gave the judges' names and I started to transcribe them, but...


Here instead:

Concepcion
Height 1.57m
Reach 70.2cm

Gallardo
Height 1.54m
Reach 74cm

 

This is supposedly for the WBC's vacant super flyweight Latino title (Boxrec has it down as going a befitting championship 12), but according to the TV graphic it's only scheduled for 10 rounds. :conf
