...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

If anyone wants to commandeer this RBR, go right ahead, I couldn't care less about ****ing Scrappy Ramirez or any of the other matches on it, except for one... Flores vs. Gonzalez, the only actual competitive match on it.

 

These are some burly broads going at it here. They look like mini tanks.

 

Manuel Flores vs. Franklin Jose Gonzalez 8 Rounds @ Bantamweight

 

While I like Manny Flores, I think this might be a huge misstep. Gonzalez has legit power, decent defense, controls range quite well, seems tough as nails and probably should be undefeated. He was robbed of a knockdown against Orozco, in a match that was pretty much a draw.

 

Round 1 Gonzalez 10-9

Franklin landed a few rights to the head and body early and late, Flores landed a few clean lefts, but not enough of them.

 

Round 1 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 2 Gonzalez 10-9

Flores trying to control range better early, clips Franklin with a left and knocks him off balance, he goes for he kill, and walks into a counter from FG. Backs off. FG lands several rights to the body, then falls, he was off balance. FG digging hooks to the ribs. MF overreaches, walks into a nasty right hook. A few cuffing rights late from FG. Another lose round, but Franklin landed the heavier blows.

 

Round 1 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 2 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 3 Gonzalez 10-9

MF lunges in, FG lands a combo to the body, then a straight right to the gut. MF lands a hard jab. Another lunging right from FG. And another. Heavy rights upstairs from FG. FG lands a hooks up top, then some hooks in an exchange. FG buckles MF with a right to the temple. Vicious looping right from FG. He's feeling it now. Not close at all.

 

Round 1 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 2 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 3 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 4 Gonzalez 10-9

Another fairly one sided round, aside from a clean left that knocked out FG's mouthpiece, FG pretty much battered MF with one twos, and almost dropped him with a left hook.

Round 2 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 3 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 4 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 5 Flores 10-8

Gonzalez once again dominating round, overreaches gets clipped with a hook, glove touches, kind of a bull**** knockdown, looked like a push. Flores goes for the kill. Gonzalez gets the better of the exchange.

Round 2 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 3 Gonzalez 10-9
Round 4 Gonzalez 10-9
