Miguel Cotto vs. Delvin Rodriguez & Terence Crawford vs. Andrey Klimov RBR

Round 7

Nguyen is hurling in lefts and rights soaring in. Velez circles and jabs. Right hand on the forehead by Velez, falling in with it and turning Nguyen around with it. Nguyen recovers instantly and flurries back. Jab high on the head by Velez coming forward, carefully folding his arms up over his face in between jabs and staying tall. Nguyen jabs the body and misses an overhand right up top. They jab together, glove on glove. Nguyen taps the body leaning in. Straight combo by Nguyen, ducked and countered with an uppercut that just nicks Nguyen. More uppercuts by Velez, put together with left hooks standing inside. Nguyen shoves with his left arm to get space for his right hand but Velez is ripping him with left hooks. BRAWL. Finally they clinch. Nguyen is warned for a rabbit punch. 1-2-3 by Velez. Body shots by Nguyen.

10-9 Velez

Great round there.

 

After Crawford vs. Klimov, which is after this.
