Cristian Arrazola vs. Manuel Chavez, 6 rounds @ featherweight

 

I hope so. The results aren't yet up on Boxrec, if not - so if this is prerecorded I would rather not hear anything else about it.

It's only a little after eleven local time in Chiapas - so there's a decent chance it's live.

 

Round 1

Arrazola is exploding on Chavez with nonstop rapid-fire combos. Arrazola uses his length and speed to pummel Chavez into the ropes. Chavez blocks as much as he can and weathers the storm. More lashes from Arrazola. Chavez gets in a counter right hook, staggering Arrazola! The taller southpaw shakes it off quickly and resumes his furious attack. Chavez is rocked back by a 1-2, sinking into the ropes and letting them shoot him past Arrazola. Strong jab by Chavez. Arrazola sprays jabs messily from outside as Chavez leans to one side and jabs a bit more calmly up at him.

10-9 Arrazola, crazy round.

 

Round 2

Arrazola is throwing wild chopping flurries down at Chavez and getting backed off by single line drive lefts. Chavez waves his gloves out a few inches in front of his face while standing and waiting for Arrazola. Chavez jabs in close but doesn't capitalize. Arrazola rocks him with jabs and left crosses lassoed in from long range. Chavez gets in a head-snapping left.

10-9 Arrazola

20-18 Arrazola

 

Usually the telltale sign is the commercial breaks lasting a bit longer than a minute (the between round break) - I'll time the next one...

 

This is a nutty match-up.

Arrazola has eight wins, five by knockout - and eight losses, five by knockout.

Chavez has one loss, by decision.

These guys are the sort who should never see the light of TV unless it's to be a showcase opponent for someone...well, better than either of them. :yep

Arrazola is a local Chiapas boy, though - and I'm not complaining, this is some hectic fun.

 

Round 3

Arrazola is flapping both arms in amateurishly upon Chavez and herding the smaller lefty backwards. Chavez hangs in and counters, rocking Arrazola. More wild rapid slashes by Arrazola, now rocking Chavez. Back and forth they go, no defense. Right hooks traded, both swing fully around.

10-9 Arrazola

30-27 Arrazola

 

Yep, slightly less than a minute between the bell to end round 3 and returning just before the bell to start round 4...

I'm comfortable going with live for the sake of argument - but superstitious enough to suggest that you still keep the hell off Twitter.

 

Round 4

Chavez is warned for a low blow. (I think). Arrazola is flopping around the ring, pogo-sticking on each leg, apparently trying to slip punches with exaggerated bows and dips that actually put him into harm's way. Chavez times him with jabs and lefts, and slaps big wrist-heavy right hooks into his sides. Double jab, short left hand through the gloves by Chavez, followed by a right hook downstairs. Big left uppercut by Chavez. Right hooks toe to toe, both getting rocked! Arrazola is more hurt. He flops into Chavez and holds. The ref warns Chavez for twisting Arrazola's elbow behind his back or some bull**** (it was just a very awkward clinch - nothing intentional on Chavez's part...this ref is obviously a Chiapas resident or bought off by team Arrazola...) BIG looping left to the body by Chavez.

10-9 Chavez

39-37 Arrazola

 

After that fourth I'm officially rooting for Chavez to overcome the stacked deck and knock this giraffe-necked kid spark out in front of his friends and neighbors (and drop him at the feet of his personal ref) :yep

There's no way he is beating him without a KO.
