Steve Cunningham vs. Natu Visinia RBR

Why are you asking that? :huh HBO WCB goes on air from 10pm EST. My threads virtually always start 25 minutes on the dot before the major TV coverage program start time. So you're six minutes early.

 

Ah, well in the US coverage for that card is only just now starting. It wasn't exactly a great undercard, so I'm surprised that a) it was even carried in other countries and b) that anyone was interested.

Rodriguez vs. Augustama was a mismatch on paper, and, it sounds like, in fact.

edit: I take it back, the undercard did have one nice morsel on it. Reyes vs. Han looked promising.

 

Steve Cunningham vs. Natu Visinia, 10 rounds @ heavyweight

 

This is going to conflict directly with Donaire vs. Walters, starting at the exact same time, if anybody cares.

 

Round 1

Cunningham is raising his left arm to shield as Visinia feigns a jab. Cunningham is circling to his left with measured and carefully placed steps. Jab on the body from Cunningham. Visinia is jabbed in the chest walking forward. Cunningham ducks a right hand and takes Visinia's next one atop the head. Cunningham backs up and pops a long jab. Cunningham jabs the chest of Visinia from outside. Cunningham doubles a hard jab into Visinia's face while circling left. Visinia reaches with a pawing jab and Cunningham shoots it from the air with his own, very quick. 1-2 by Cunningham. Double wrist-flick jab feint by Visinia, looking to plant a right uppercut on Cunningham's abdomen. Cunningham melts into the ropes and springs off them at the butt. Jabs on the love handle by Cunningham. Right hand up top by Cunningham. Visinia loops a right and spins around clumsily with the miss as Cunningham ducks by the ropes. Left hand by Visinia. Double right by Cunningham.

10-9 Cunningham

 

Round 2

Cunningham is getting walked into the ropes while popping his jab. Visinia is jerking his face to one side to slip the jab and clubbing at Cunningham with right hands. Cunningham is caught on the ropes but squirms free and shimmies along them, avoiding some of Visinia's heavy blows. Uppercut by Cunningham. Visinia keeps walking him down and clubbing with right hands, whipping out surprisingly quick and short left hooks at Cunningham to keep him from circling the other way. Cunningham gets on his toes, circling and jabbing into the air.

10-9 Visinia

19-19
