Shuan Boxing: Erick Yomer Rosa Pacheco vs. Orlando David Pino Silva RBR

Much higher combined skill level on display than in that weird and ugly Ramírez vs. Lara contest that preceded it, but the ref still having to get involved frequently. Lots of butts, the usual southpaw vs. orthodox kind.

 

Interesting, bit of the Dempsey shift from Jeifry Juan, advancing on Vásquez and jabbing with alternating hands to correspond with whichever foot's out front.

 

Bizarre round there... JJ had DPV hurt and dropped him only for DPV to pretend he got fouled. Not only was the ref not buying it he appeared to dock him a point for the fakery.

 

DPV gassed, wobbly, and flopping all over the ring. Juan tracking him with right jabs and cutting his way inside to work big left uppercuts on the underside of the jaw, which cause DPV to slouch over, limp in the middle, attempting to hold, which leads to Juan rabbit punching him in the heat of things.

It takes a few more minutes of hunting, but Juan gets him outta there. TKO6!

 

Juan had a tiny contingent of very vocal supporters hooting and hollering for him while the rest of the crowd remained dead silent, fuming. He shrugged and did a little dance number before exiting the ring.

 

Erick Yomer Rosa Pacheco vs. Orlando David Pino Silva, 10 rounds @ minimumweight

 

...uh, did Pino skip town? After three minutes of his entrance theme playing after his intro, everyone in the ring is milling around looking confused & concerned.

Never mind, speak of the devil, just shuffled onto the ramp like nothing. Long line for the men's room maybe?

 

Eerily quiet, almost subdued reaction to Rosa's walkout. I would have thought Mini Pacman would get more of a pop than some of the no-names earlier on the card, but, hardly anything.

 

Round 1

Strong right jabs and hooks to start from Rosa. He commands the center of the ring and begins to walk Pino down. Body shots as he tries to trap Pino in a corner. Lots of jogging around by Pino, held upright with his arms folded against him protectively. A few tentative counter rights by Pino, smokescreens to help him escape the ropes. Rosa keeping a jab fixed on him. Quick combinations by Rosa, mixing to body and head, working off the jab. Pino in retreat, tries faking a looping right and then pushing in a left hook but thinks better of it when he sees Rosa set to pull trigger on his coiled & ready counter. Rosa flicking the right jab backhanded into Pino's face, then whips in some underhanded lefts and right hooks on the body.

10-9 Rosa

 

No surprises here so far; it looks very much like one guy who is world rated versus another whose career is likely to peak at "Venezuelan national flyweight champion".

 

Round 2

Jabs being spent like bills in a strip club both ways, none landing for the most part. Pino ducking and Rosa opting to pick off with his arms. What is landing, however, is the body shots of Rosa - with increasing heaviness and fewer gaps between. Pino standing up to his downstairs assault well enough so far but on the backfoot withg alacrity. Good moment for Pino at the very end of the round where Rosa seems to maybe believe the round is over and just stops throwing, allowing Pino to rip him with a left hook undefended. Rosa just blinks it off.

10-9 Rosa
