Riyadh Season WBC Boxing Grand Prix - Tournament Details, Preview, Round By Round & Results!

They are sticking with the same order, Laurence Cole next to referee after Béla Flórián.

 

Aguillón is the first Mexican we've seen tonight. He'll be joined by a pair of teammates later, one super lightweight and one featherweight.

 

Commentators talking up PDLC's upset victory over Torres last time out, saying what made it all the more shocking is that he kayoed him despite having only four career stoppages in his sixteen victories heading in.

 

This has yet to really come to a boil after two. Lots of parried jabs. Neither really asserting themselves.

 

Ohhh okay, that's who the play by play guy is - Corey Erdman. Whole time trying to puzzle it out I was like, it's a somewhat generic sounding white guy, familiar sounding, but it isn't Mannix or Grisham...

 

WBC open scoring:

19-19
20-18 x 2 for Aguillón

 

3rd an improvement for PDLC but there still isn't much happening to speak of. Neither has shown me anything for Biggs to worry about in the semifinals.

 

I think only Chris Algieri could be this cocky and remain completely likeable.

Directly quoted by Erdman:

I'm always the hardest working guy in any gym I step in ...but at that place (Roberto García's) I actually had to push myself to maintain that.

 

WBC open scoring:

38-38 x2
39-37 Aguillón

That one judge is just having none of Proton de la Chapelle's outside sniping southpaw cutie pie shenanigans.

 

This isn't boxing, it's highly economical fencing. You'd think both were having 5% of their purse docked for every punch thrown (and double for non-jabs).

 

What you making of it so far, @kirk?

Been a mixed bag, some mismatches, some ugly/boring fights, but some good stuff mixed in too.

 

Can see this heading to WBC Enhanced Scoring...

 

From the side profile Aguillón looks a bit like a young Eddie Guerrero (not so much from the front, though)

 

Official cards:

57-57 unanimous draw

Yep, called it...

Enhanced Scoring System:

4-3 PDLC
3-3 x2

Majority Draw

WBC Executive Panel for a tiebreaker...

3-2 for PDLC

 

I've done 50%!

140lbs next.
