Mike Alvarado vs. Ruslan Provodnikov RBR

Round 5

Calzada is pushing his jab out stepping forward, then hurling the right hand in past Marquez's left shoulder. Counter 1-2s on the backfoot by Marquez. Calzada towel-snaps in some body shots walking forward. Marquez circles left, rolling his fists around each other, then doubling his jab into the top of Calzada's head as he comes in. Calzada has his face rocked by a chopping right hand counter from Marquez. They trade right hands up close.

10-9 Marquez

49-46 Marquez

 

Crystina Poncher believes Calzada deserved the 5th on sheer aggression.

Puss-whipped Bob Sheridan now has it 48-47 to Calzada. :yep

 

Round 6

Calzada is jabbing and missing, getting hooked in the chest. Right hand counter by Marquez. Big left hook by Calzada whipped up and landing solidly on the ear of Marquez. Calzada is throwing arm punches marching into Marquez. Double jab, right uppercut by Marquez turning Calzada to the ropes. Jab and looping right by Calzada. Both are missing wide punches. Calzada is sticking his jab in between Marquez's forearms while backing him up in a crouch. Calzada slaps a right hand down on Marquez's shoulder and then jabs him in the face as he backs straight up. Clinch. They are broken up and begin to flurry madly. HUGE hooking war in the pocket in the last five seconds.

10-9 Calzada

58-56 Marquez

 

STFU Larry Merchant; nobody cares that you drove 20 miles out of your way to Manassa because you saw a road sign. That doesn't make you some kind of Dempsey super-fan and it has nothing to do with calling the action here.
