RJJ Promotions: Ray Valentino Ximénez, Jr. vs. Luis Alberto López Vargas RBR

Oh wait, no, from this angle, that dude is too fat (and like 8" too short) to be John Cena.

Maybe his alcoholic uncle, though.

 

Official cards:

Jim Howard 39-37
Pat Russell 39-37
Andy Dinger 39-37

UD for Jackson?!?!?!

 

See, now this opens up a good (possibly separate thread worthy) discussion piece.

I think Peak won the last two rounds clearly. That makes 39-37 a flat out wrong scorecard. Now, there are twelve-rounders in which you could argue scores as wide as 117-111 for one guy to a draw or 115-113 the other way...that IMO would be less correct to call robberies (even if the reasonable array was a mix of 116-112 and 115-113 cards in a UD for the guy everyone thought lost) than a 4-rounder scored for a guy that clearly got beaten up in two rounds..

 

RJJ says if you lose, you're cut from his roster. Dude's even more ruthless than UFC FightPass' other major promoter. He at least waits until someone's on a three-loss skid.

 

Ray Valentino Ximénez, Jr. vs. Luis Alberto López Vargas, 10 rounds @ featherweight

 

RVX getting boos for some reason. He isn't from Washington (he's from Texas), but neither is López (he's Mexican).

edit: Smitty explains it was because Ximénez wore a Dallas Cowboys jersey.

 

Anthems for a ten-rounder for a WBO International title. Okay then.

 

That's actually pretty cool they have Miss Yakima Nation sing the anthem, with the words translated into her tribe's language. (Toppenish, WA is Native land)
