RCC Promotions: Ravshanbek Soibjon Ogli Umurzaqov vs. Esneiker Jesús Correa Pinto RBR

Round 5

Umurzaqov is jabbing into the gloves and passing a broom-like left uppercut into the body, leaving himself wide open. Correa is hoping to catch him with his own heavily loaded up but sort of easily spotted uppercut combinations, swatting in arcs from by his own thighs up into Umurzaqov's chin. Big leaping gazelle hook by Correa in an exchange, and Umurzaqov goes DOWN!!!! WHOA!!! Correa spends the rest of the round in pursuit, and may have scored another knockdown that got missed (and ruled a slip by the ref, and would have made it a tie on my scorecard).

10-8 Correa

47-45 Umurzaqov

 

Not a beautiful fight, but a compelling one.

 

I knew it would.

 

Round 6

Umurzaqov is meeting Correa head-on, both throwing hard straight punches at the face, and then whipping underhanded body shots. The ref is warning both for a variety of things. Correa more aggressive throughout from bell to bell, although Umurzaqov is standing his ground.

10-9 Correa, very close

56-55 Umurzaqov

 

Round 7

Correa warned for a rabbit punch. They clash numerous times, both throwing body combinations or stray errant discuses at the head until slamming together into clinches. Umurzaqov is clipped by a jumping left upper-hook that seems to catch him on the bridge of the nose and eye, causing him to spin around, begging the ref for a reprieve as he falls to hands and knees. Towel in!!

KO7!!!

 

Kind of massive one, yeah!

@CST80 early 2020 list contender...

 

That is Esneiker Correa's second time upsetting an unbeaten prospect. He made 17-0 (14) countryman Danis Alexander Castillo Pino quit on his stool in 5 rounds in December of 2018.

 

Yeah, it was like you could feel the swing in momentum brewing.. right before the stoppage I was starting to actually type out "10-8 Correa, 65-64 Correa ...nosing out in front and SURGING, hadn't thought he would snatch the lead back after Umurzaqov tied it up in the second, but at this point it looks as if he might actually STOP him, unless we see a dramatic rebound from Umurzaqov in the late going! "

 

I edited the RBR title reflecting Umurzaqov vs. Correa being the main event. (though I could have sworn Kalitsky vs. Castillo had been listed as the originally billed headliner somewhere )

 

They usually deliver the goods.

Vald Eliseev's a great matchmaker.
