TG4: Raymond Peter Moylette vs. Christian Fermín Uruzquieta & Gary O'Sullivan vs. Gábor Görbics RBR

Round 7

Uruzquieta is having a hard time walking down Moylette anymore. The unbeaten Irishman has found his groove, boxing with confidence now, flitting around scoring neatly with straight counters down the middle with both hands, keeping Uruzquieta turning constantly. Nice body shots mixed in by Moylette. Uruzquieta is pressing determinedly but can't get range, headhunting at first but missing by miles. Uruzquieta still able to get a piece when he goes downstairs, but Moylette being in constant motion takes some of the sting off. Moylette picking off jabs on his right glove and executing flawless pull-counter rights.

10-9 Moylette, absolutely OUTSTANDING round for a guy that looked on the verge of being knocked out a couple prior...

68-63 Uruzquieta

 

Round 8

Uruzquieta is walking into Moylette jabs, unable to close the gap. Moylette is ducking the Uruzquieta jab whenever he is within range to even fire it, and is now lining up some pitch-perfect right hand leads to both head and body. Moylette sways down and to his right to dodge a 1-1-2 lunging in by Uruzquieta. Body whack by Moylette while he's down there, before tumbling out the side door with a crouching spin.

10-9 Moylette

77-73 Uruzquieta

 

Lost arguably three of the starting four, and been down twice - but yeah, after boxing nicely in the seventh they all crow about him getting "back on top on points with that" Quite a bit of homerism there.

 

Round 9

Uruzquieta is forcing Moylette to fight his type of fight again, now, as Moylette's legs are no longer compliant with his strategy from the seventh and eighth. Uruzquieta lands some cracking body shots and Moylette is obviously in a world of pain, slouching over to one side as he runs along the ropes. Uruzquieta is pounding down on his kidneys and ribs with both hands, and stuffing jabs into the face whenever Moylette dares to straighten up and/or lower his guard protectively over his abdomen. They swap left hooks at the bell, Moylette's landing flusher and harder, but way too little too late for the steal in this one.

10-9 Uruzquieta

87-82 Uruzquieta

 

He did!!

 

Round 10

Uruzquieta is loosing crossbow-bolt right hands behind the bayonette jab. Moylette in full retreat, sweeping out a few big dipper body shots from his own hip toward Uruzquieta's, but not really able to muster any discouraging counterattacks. Moylette putting all his energy and focus into defense, blocking what he can of Uruzquieta's thumping 1-2s up top and scurrying away from the body shots. Uruzquieta is clopping down on the side of Moylette's face with the right hand. Moylette jabbing and whipping rights over the top as he backs up, buying himself each moment anew, borrowing from the next. Some holding now from Moylette. Uruzquieta lands an uppercut breaking through Moylette's guard. Some body shots from Uruzquieta nearly pin Moylette in the corner, his knees buckle, he escapes. Uruzquieta lands a right hand. Moylette sags against the ropes but is able to sprint off, surviving.

10-9 Uruzquieta

97-92 Uruzquieta

 

Commentators laughing "the Mexican thinks he won it!" "aye, well he would..."

Are these guys high?

 

Ryan Burnett says it was very close, wouldn't argue with a draw but he leans toward Ray just. Being diplomatic, you can tell in his voice he knows Uruzquieta ought to get this.
