Solis-Austin, Cloud-Zuniga, Mayorga-Walker RBR

Round 3

Zuniga flashes a high triple jab and Cloud backs away slightly, primarily to get into a more comfortable punching range. Zuniga goes down after a quick Cloud hook is thrown but it is ruled a slip. Cloud is firing straight punches down the middle in twos and threes now and not letting Zuniga off the hook. Cloud doubles his jab and follows Zuniga around the ring, firing low when Zuniga dips and high when he straightens. Big hook from Cloud. A series of hard hooks!! Zuniga escapes to the ropes and realizes this is a bad idea quickly, skirting off to one side. Cloud is not going to be denied now, and comes forward punching hard, with perfectly straight rights and textbook left hooks.

30-27 Cloud

This shouldn't go much longer.

 

Round 4

Cloud barks and triple jabs his way forward. Zuniga tries to meet him head on with his own awkwardly set-up low jab but abandons this strategy and runs as Cloud rolls on. Zuniga is down again - another ruled slip. Cloud is pushing forward with stiff jabs and Zuniga is simply flapping his arms up in Cloud's face on his way inside to clinch. Cloud puts together crosses and hooks as he walks forward, trying to catch Zuniga at the tip of something before the Colombian lunges for the clinch. HARD hook by Cloud has Zuniga sinking into the ropes, and Cloud tries to follow up but Zuniga bounces around like a pinball and is throwing his own wild counter punches.

40-36

 

Round 5

Cloud jabs and circles. Zuniga takes the lead with his wild meteoric overhand rights. Cloud is content to back slowly up and block these badly telegraphed shots while flicking a jab into Zuniga's chest. Zuniga keeps throwing them even when he's up close and smothering himself, trying to clip Cloud in the back of the head but not being warned for rabbit punching (probably because he's missing those too). Cloud slips a straight-ish right hand and tosses a jab in Zuniga's face to blind him. Moments later Zuniga, is on the floor from a hard Cloud right cross. Zuniga bounces up and tries to survive with his eel impersonation and even fires back a few of his catapulted right hands. Cloud can't quite find the sweet spot and Zuniga survives.

10-8 Cloud

 

They don't look like they belong in different divisions or anything, but yeah. He's far more muscular, especially in the back and shoulders (and Zuniga is no slob himself).
