Michael Hunter II vs. Gerard Forrest II & Cassius Chaney vs. George Arias RBR.

Well he did knock the soul out of their common opponent Joel Caudle, whom Arias went six with without even dropping him. That's the main reason I'm worried.

 

kinda boring 1st round tbh lol.

 

Round 1

Chaney is waving out a long backhanded jab up from the hip as Arias twitches and weaves in a corner, momentarily pinioned, and then circles out. Lots of bobbing movement by Arias, needs to be careful not to exert too much too early with that, but it does seem to be perplexing Chaney, who stands off just watching. Body jabs by Arias. Chaney is getting his belly kneaded by triple jabs from Arias bending over at the waist, forming an upside down L.

10-9 Arias

 

Round 2

Chaney is shooting jabs out from his waistband, telegrahing and one & done...and lo and behold, getting slipped easily by Arias using constant side-to-side tilting and head movement while circling. Arias diving in and jabbing under Chaney's armpit. Not a hell of a lot happening.

10-9 Arias

20-18 Arias

 

Round 3

Arias starts fast and WOBBLES Chaney with a sudden overhand meeting him at ring center. Arias throwing huge power combos, and Chaney is alarmed! He recovers after standing up tall and blocking a few shots, and begins to lumber in behind that jab again to show Arias he is no lame duck. Weak slashing body combos at the belt line from Chaney on the inside, very clumsy when he doesn't have room to let his punches breathe. Arias hacking down with both arms, shoulders gyrating as he sails inside. Chaney just backs up, leans back with his chin high, and pushes down with his arms to swat Arias' gloves away.

10-9 Arias

30-27 Arias

 

Who ever is managing Michael Hunter's career is wasting his potential and talent for the last 2 years. He's not getting any decent fights to progress and I would like to see him fight at least the Yokas, Douboises, Wallins, Ruizezzes of the division instead of some yokels (no offense to Forrest).

 

A yokel he shut out years ago easily, no less.

 

Just keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't gas out and make me look like Nostradamus.

As with Davis vs. Cruz, this is one where I'd love to be wrong.
