Solo Boxeo Tecate: Mark Salser Jr. vs. Rodolfo Armenta II RBR

a

Not only those two heavyweights heroes, but Cy Young award winning pitcher and IBA president Dean Chance!!

(introduced as "three Ohio boxing legends" by Joe Martinez :-()

 

Round 1

Salser is waiting on the outside, popping a double jab and then a right to the body. Armenta trots to his left and throws a couple of jabs off balance. Salser is pushing his double jab into the guard, then dropping a wide left hook to the body. Armenta is giving ground, and taking body shots. Armenta lands a right. Respectful glove touch at the bell.

10-9 Salser

 

Round 2

Armenta jabs and goes left. Right to the body. Salser tries to hack in at the top of Armenta's trunks with both hands, and gets cracked with a right hand. Armenta circles over by the ropes and puts jabs and rights in to the stomach of Salser. Suddenly a BIG LEFT HOOK by Salser staggers Armenta badly and causes his glove to touch the Tecate logo!! No eight count given!! That was a knockdown! Jabs to the body by Armenta, clearing the cobwebs. Big hooks by Salser, a bit overeager. Armenta is able to put up goalposts to block the wide shots and push Salser into a corner, landing to the body. Shoe shine by Salser. Big shots by Armenta! Right hands pinning Salser to the turnbuckle!

10-9 Salser (should have been 10-8 if the ref had acted properly...not quite dominant enough to give it anyway w/o the ruling...)

 

Round 3

Salser is on his bike, now, strangely. Circling left with plenty of space between them, launching jabs and pulling back away from Armenta's. A few diving jabs to the body by Armenta. Salser circles away, steps in with a few slashes at the body, and fades out again. Armenta dives in with a right hand, falling into a clinch. Armenta pops jabs into Salser's guard while moving to his right. Now left. Armenta dancing in place, popping long jabs as Salser does nothing. Armenta lunges with a jab, parried by Salser's right.

30-27 but a judge may well have given Bam Bam that frame on making the fight.

 

Mike in profile resembles Evander. :blood :think

Not dead on. Just profile.

 

Round 4

Armenta pushes Salser back and gets zapped with jabs. Armenta lunges with his own and Salser shimmies back, turning either shoulder away. Armenta keeps roughing it on the inside, pushing Salser to the ropes to his own detriment. Big uppercut by Salser. Armenta is slapping over the top trying to keep Salser pinned down, but eating some big counters.

40-36

 

Did SNL pay for laser removal of Mike's tattoos, strictly for the purposes of a Herman Cain parody?

Or is it fake skin?

Fake skin makes more sense...but I like to think they went to the trouble of paying for laser removal.


And then if Mike is seen in public again with the face tats again, it just means he went out and got the same one in the same spot. :!:

 

Huh. Unofficial scorers at Telefutura have it dead level! :blood 38-38, gave Armenta the last two.
