Mercito Moya Gesta vs. Juan Antonio Rodríguez Mozo & Ferdinand Kerobyan vs. Blair Romero Cobbs RBR

Round 7

Kerobyan takes advantage of a brief tactical error in Cobbs' footwork and makes him duck a left hook and then hammers behind the head with a chopping right, then chases him across the ring. The crowd is screaming but I'm not sure Kerobyan got anything flush actually laid on Cobbs. Big lead rights from Kerobyan, and Cobbs ducks and rises with counter right hooks. Both missing or getting deflected off each other's arms. Kerobyan walks into a 1-2. Cobbs is using that right jab like a scalpel, continuously targeting Kerobyan's shredded left half of his face. Left uppercut by Cobbs. Undeterred but getting nowhere, Kerobyan insistently jumps in with jabs and short rights, missing and getting picked off.

10-9 Cobbs

69-64 Cobbs

 

This is pointless FFS. He can't see, let alone score a knockout, especially on such an elusive opponent. Why are they putting Kerobyan through all of this? It could shorten his career. Just let him take an L here tonight and come back stronger having learned from the experience.

 

Dougie Fischer has it 69-64 Cobbs.

 

Round 8

Kerobyan is getting lit up as Cobbs pounces in on him with a right jab on the chin, left hand on the chest, right hook on the side, another left on the nose. Kerobyan just keeps marching inside, no matter what Cobbs throws at him. Kerobyan able to briefly square up inside Cobbs' punching range and nail him with a short left hook, but Cobbs is soon on his toes coasting on the outside, throwing right hooks and left uppercuts. Big flurry by Kerobyan, switching to southpaw once more. Back to orthodox. Straight right lands for Kerobyan. Another! Cobbs maybe hurt! BIG looping right off a jab by Kerobyan!

10-9 Kerobyan

78-74 Cobbs

 

Anybody else getting more and more excited for Canelo vs. Jacobs the closer it gets?

 

Official cards:

Fernando Villareal 79-73

UD for Cobbs

 

Good cards again.

 

Alright, you looked good in functionally your national TV (well, Facebook stream, but ...same difference, in this era) debut...but please, Blair, calm down with the "WHOO" every five seconds. You're going to squander whatever good will you earn inside the ring if you keep overplaying that hand.

 

Oh great, another God thanker..

 

That was cool of Cobbs to pull Kerobyan over and give him props knowing he was bummed to have lost in front of his partisan home crowd.
