Omar Andres Narvaez vs. David Carmona RBR

Round 4

Narvaez is stalking Carmona, pressuring with the right jab and staying low, then exploding with right hooks and straight lefts in rapid succession. Carmona is pinned in a corner and steps out laterally, tossing jabs and wide looping right hands to cover his escape. Narvaez presses in and Carmona dives atop him, swallowing the champion into a clinch. Narvaez wrestles free and sticks the right jab up into Carmona's face, chasing him to the ropes. Carmona ducks and slips away from Narvaez, moving right. Narvaez weaves in past Carmona's jab and lands a 1-2 on the face. Carmona is backed into a corner and Narvaez opens up with body punches and left uppercuts on the face. Carmona is sitting on the middle rope, unable to get clear. The crowd smells blood in the water and eggs Narvaez on for the finish, but the clock runs out.

10-9 Narvaez

40-36 Narvaez

 

Man versus boy.

 

Round 5

Stiff right jab by Narvaez. Carmona is backing up, pawing out his left jab and then waving hooks off it without retracting. Narvaez is hustling in, letting the outstretched left fist of Carmona careen off his upper cranium while pecking at Carmona with his much harder right jab and whipping left hands over the top. Carmona's knees buckle as he is knocked into the ropes. Another lightning quick explosion by Narvaez, landing power punches leaping forward off his toes, and Carmona dips, gloves clutching a rope for support. Again not ruled a knockdown.

10-9 Narvaez

50-45 Narvaez

 

This is pure domination.

Narvaez is going to have something to brag about during his next poker game with Matthysse. (yes, I like very much to pretend that is something that happens on a regular basis. They are from the same home town, both boxers, both bad asses. :conf Why wouldn't they be BFFs?)

 

Couple of inches, actually, it seems.

I'd guess he is 5'5".

 

The unofficial TyC Sports commentator's scorecard has it 60-53 to Narvaez.

 

Round 7

Narvaez is putting together left uppercuts with right hooks and overhands. Carmona is getting rocked backward on his heels by the uppercuts, blinded by the pesky mosquito southpaw jab, and chopped into a slumping posture by the high-rising chopping overhand rights. Narvaez keeps ripping away until Carmona begins turning his back, at which point the ref waves it off. Edit: towel wave, corner man on the apron.

TKO7!!

 

Round 6

Narvaez is swooping in and thrusting his right jab hard and fast into Carmona's nose. Carmona is cleaving to the ropes, letting his back scrape along them as he pushes a defensive jab. Narvaez is doubling the right hook to chest and face and follows a pair with a hard left on the lungs and Carmona finally goes down sucking wind and is finally ruled as officially knocked down! Carmona gets up and hugs the ropes, pawing jabs in Narvaez's way and curling up as Narvaez cannonballs into him with quick sharp combination punches.

10-8 Narvaez

60-53 Narvaez

 

For anyone wondering about that song TyC Sports used to end the broadcast, running over the card highlights...
