Miguel Ángel García Cortéz vs. Jesús Vargas & Khalid Yafai vs. Román Alberto González Luna RBR

Round 1 Yafai 10-9

 

Round 1: Gonzalez, 10-9

 

Roman Gonzalez UD12 Kal Yafai

One more time for the sweet souvenir: Roman is small. Smaller, slower, older. And there is no cure for it.

Gonzalez has that spring in his step, that jitter bug dup down. Best punch in the first twenty seconds is a Yafai body punch, worrying given bodyshots is Roman's best chance, but it's early, haha. Kal is off quick, and fair play to him. No respect being shown, or no excessive respect. He is looking for all his shots and in the first. Even an uppercut there, never got going though. So Roman has arguably won the battle of the jabs there but lost every other element of the first round war. Roman ends the round well though; thought he took the last minute.

OK, so the fight is on. Two is a big round, an early big round. We know they're arguing about the tempo and we know they're arguing about how far back Roman is going. They will want to settle that here. First round was desperately close; i sense the second one won't be. Roman is dipping low HELLO! Hello, Roman just fired in three different combinations in real fluidity, he looked awesome, he looked 2012 for about ten seconds there. Holy **** - that looked like the old days. Roman has his high gaurd, gives ground, nows he's banked the middle minute. Yaf's gumshield out...Roman over the front foot guard up! He is ready to punch, this is gorgeous! Holy ****! He is tanning Yaf right now, no contest, not even, the UD is on! Left hand happy. Woop woop! Class matters maybe.

Gonzalez:2,
Yafai:1,
