ShoBox: Ivan Redkach vs. Tony Luis & John Thompson vs. Frank Galarza RBR

Round 6

Hooker is turning Ramos and dumping light 1-2s on Ramos while stepping outside. Ramos steps forward and wings in looping combos, all caught on the pinned forearms of Hooker, body shots on the elbows. Hooker is outmaneuvering Ramos, careful never to get caught on the ropes, sniping with straight rights on the body and painting Ramos' face with the jab. Ramos is forcing Hooker into the ropes with jabs and ramped lead rights, then working uppercuts to keep him there. Hooker slips a few punches and wriggles off the ropes dropping counters on Ramos' face. The bell rings but neither boxer hears it and they keep scrapping toe to toe an extra 5-10 seconds until the ref gets between them!

10-9 Hooker

59-55 Hooker

 

Legend.

Imagine if Pascal comes down with a bad case of the squirts (from a poorly barista'ed Starbucks white chocolate mocha! :twisted and it gets canceled last minute? :rofl:rofl:rofl

Come the eighth, it may not require anything very big.

Unless his recuperative powers during the minute break are superb...

 

Did Tompkins just say this fight needs more cowbell?

Both deserve to keep their zeroes...and bring them into a REMATCH!
