Round 5 Avagyan 10-9
Round 6 Avagyan 10-9

Esparza trying t make a stand, digging to the body, Aram unaffected, Esparza gets a low blow warning from Bayless, a lot more wrestling, Aram lands hard right cross, vicious overhands from Aram, some landing to the back of the head, hard one two before the bell from Aram.

 

They're sloppy, but fairly dominant, however, both are very active, so it would probably be a good idea for Avagyan to push for a stoppage.

Esparza has two cuts on his face, Aram coming forward pounding Esparza to the body, looping overhands, Aram's bobbing in and out of range, nothing landing clean on him, Esparza still throwing, but gassed, Aram calm cool and collected, vicious hooks to the body from Aram, looping hooks to the head of Esparza, Aram jabbing. Aram trps and almost flies over Esparza's shoulder.

Aram taking his time, jabbing and landing one twos, now dancing around using awkward footwork landing weird hooks, seems to be taking round off and still winning it. Slipping punches in close and countering well.

Esparza's corner told him he really needs the last two rounds, Aram toing with him, standing in front of him with is hands down jabbing him in the face, turning him and clipping him with hooks, Aram stepping on the gas now, throwing accurate punches in bunches, Esparza is holding for dear life, Bayless should dock him a point. Short hook inside from Aram, and another, Aram is mauling him now.

Aram comes charging forward, Esparza holds a lot, both are letting their hands go, Aram turning him and landing hooks, giving him shoulder blocks, Esparza gassed badly, hard one twos from Arram, Esparza getting nailed to the body, a lot of holding. Aram with the cleaner work.

97-92 or 96-93 are fine as well.

 

This music is dreadful.

 

97-92

UD for Avagyan

 

System Of A Down playing now, while not great, vast improvement.

 

Nothing about Joshua's phony forced persona comes across as real.
