Matchroom: Brandon Lee Ríos vs. Armando Humberto Soto Ochoa RBR

Round 1

Ríos is rummaging for a body shot and Soto is leaning away from him, drawing the lunging jab from Ríos and countering it with a nicely timed counter left hook which stuns Ríos badly. Soto keeps lining up laser-precision counters, blasting Ríos flush, lands a right hand down the pipe and hurts Ríos badly again. Sneaky left hooks downstairs by Soto while drifting side to side in front of Ríos. NICE three-piece on the chin by Soto. Ríos looking very shaky. Long sweeping combo across the belly from Soto while gliding on the outside. Ríos paws his way inside with a jab and Soto drills him with a 1-2. Left upper-hook on the bottom of the chin by Soto. Ríos lunges in and catches him with both hands pulling away; Soto countering with combinations. Uppercut by Soto. 1-2 by Soto.

10-9 Soto

 

I don't mind the repetition itself, but the self-satisfied dripping of sleaze in his voice when he does it, that I hate. Diamante reminds me of Lupe Contreras in that respect. They probably bang ring card girls in front of floor to ceiling mirrors, checking themselves out and shooting finger-guns, blowing themselves kisses etc. They fancy themselves gifts from heaven.

 

Prime for prime good question, present day Soto without doubt.
