ShoBox: Jhonatan Romero vs. Efrain Esquivias & Roman Morales vs. Jon Arrellano RBR

Round 10

Romero keeps moving, lowering his output but still catching Esquivias on the way in with raking jabs to the face. Esquivias is slapping away to the body on the inside after leaping in, and is defending a bit more with his forearms up as goalposts to catch Romero's jab. Esquivias pushes Romero to the ropes and gets touched all over by light shots from Romero, uppercuts and overhands from every angle. Pitty-pat combos by Romero while stepping back. Esquivias taps the body while ducking inside, and turns over a solid hook to the side. Uppercut by Romero while backing up.

10-9 Romero

100-89 Romero

Round 11

Romero is easily avoiding Esquivias, jogging to either side a few steps and then reversing, keeping Esquivias spinning to keep up, and blasting him with long jabs and rights to the face. Esquivias is hardly getting close enough to even scrape at the body, as it's now the long-armed Romero leading from outside without having to worry about countering. Lots of movement by Romero.

10-9 Romero

110-98 Romero
