ShoBox: Rubén Villa IV vs. Luis Alberto López & Michael Dutchover vs. Rosekie Biaco Cristobal RBR

Round 1

Villa is turning López in the middle of the ring, exhibiting perfect footwork and popping the right jab into López's nose. Really sharp timing from Villa, making López miss while standing directly in front of him and just melting off laterally, only a few grazing rights getting through for López, but Villa snapping his head back with just the quick jab.

10-9 Villa, outstanding job setting a tone from the get-go..

 

RV4's boxing is crazy pretty..

 

Plus that would leave very little time for recreational use of his 16" dong. Or catching 50 pound fish..

 

Round 2

López is getting caught with the southpaw 1-2 down the pipe while barging in loading up on right uppercuts from outside. López has a bit of luck here and there with haymakers either making partial contact while Villa rolls with them or forcing him to back straight up into the path of another high butterfly-net right hand. Villa settles things down in the final minute, working right hooks into the side of López and continuing to push his chin up and face pointing at the ceiling with the sharp right jab and left cross while ceaselessly dancing circles around him.

10-9 Villa, a little closer but still very clear.

20-18 Villa

 

...and El Venado's is...um, the opposite? I'm not sure I can even call what he does "boxing"..

 

Round 3

López is getting turned, over and over and over. Villa now able to carefully pot shot him from the outside with both the dirk-like right jab and the left thrown in teardrop fashion over the shoulder, landing unseen from above. López no longer getting in those oblique sucker punches at mid-range as Villa has made some minor adjustments to his flight path. Villa darts up & in from a crouch, scoring a jab, disappearing beneath López's far-side elbow, coming up with a left on the body and then fading out the other way. VERY smooth.

10-9 Villa

30-27 Villa

 

Round 4

López keeps patiently slogging his way through, eating jabs, staying front & center as Villa flits around, hoping to surprise Villa with a short right hand when Villa gets bold and starts ripping the high right hook. Villa is able to instead overpower López, taking his best right-handed shots and even wobbling López slightly with a series of quick right hooks and left crosses. López is getting jabbed hard in the left temple while lowering his arms to let himself drift bodily off to his side, hoping to ambush Villa with an uppercut perhaps. Villa stays clear of danger while pumping in that jab and moving.

10-9 Villa

40-36 Villa

 

Round 5

López is eschewing the jab, walking through Villa's southpaw version, loading up on lead uppercuts from afar, getting pounded above the lead hip with right hooks and wincing but still coming forward. López is kneading the shoulder and starboard throat of Villa with the left now, wouldn't exactly call it a jab, no snap or shape to it whatsoever, just sort of mushing it out there until it meets another firm surface. López obviously looking to set up a huge bashing right hand, but Villa just too alert, his movement too quick & mercurial. Hard counter left by Villa.

10-9 Villa

50-45 Villa
