ShoBox: Xavier Augustine Martínez vs. Jessie Cris Morales Rosales RBR

Johnson landed a PEACH of a right hand, seemed like Hitchins' knees might have buckled and forced him to hold on there...

Let's see if he can dial that in again, maybe follow up next time and see how much adversity the unbeaten prospect can handle.

 

10-9 Johnson, cool that he didn't completely let up, and kept diving in with body shots the rest of the round instead of just headhunting erratically, but he should have floored the gas pedal.

49-46 Hitchins

 

@AlwaysFirst your buddy seems to have better stamina, he might actually have a chance to beat the Money Team favorite here! It would help if he could score a couple of insurance knockdowns, though, because we have seen close fights rendered as shutouts..

 

That spearing right on the body from Johnson is nice. Hitchins is running from it.

 

Too bad Johnson is content to just follow in Hitchins' wake and box carefully every time he connects with something. If he showed a bit of ruthless aggression he could probably make something happen. Alas..

10-9 Hitchins, just winging fast slappy counters, drowning out Johnson's nicer but less frequent harpoons.

59-55 Hitchins

 

You know who I feel bad for? Martínez and Rosales. They're going to come out to a dead crowd. Worst possible lead-in that could have been chosen for them.

 

69-64 Hitchins, this is tedious.

 

Oh shit I feel old. Adrien Broner at ringside with grey hairs in his beard.
