Moises Flores vs. Luis Emanuel Cusolito & Julian Williams vs. Luciano Cuello RBR

Daniel Jacobs interviews J-Rock.

Williams says he is here to make a statement to put the junior middleweight division on notice.

He isn't calling out anybody specific but does throw out Austin Trout's name.

He says he will fight anyone.

He says he is the strongest at 154lbs and can walk through anybody's punches and replicate what he did tonight.

He gives a shout out to Philadelphia's west side, but neglects to offer gratitude to God, or Al Haymon. :shock:

 

Williams leans over the middle rope to jaw at Trout, and they give daps in what could've just been an old school unofficial word-of-honor fight signing.

 

Naturally, the one I missed. :sad2

 

Barraza vs. Young and now this; I have to start catching the co-features! atsch

 

Oh, right, that wasn't a main event, was it? Co-feature of Tarver vs. Cunningham in typical PBC nonsensical fashion. (elevating a fight with bigger names but nothing on the line over a world title bout)

 

This wasn't the first time Cuello was caught out cold in the 1st.

Canelo nearly overwhelmed him in the opening frame when they met 5+ years ago.

By that measuring stick, J-Rock displayed some real finishing prowess here tonight. But for having jumped on him and blasting him nonstop, Cuello may have cleared the cobwebs after shelling up on the ropes and riding out a couple of minutes until the bell (at which point he could've recovered and gone safety-first to drag it out who knows how long..)
