Victorio Saludar III vs. Erick Yomer Rosa Pacheco & Alejandro Jair González Díaz vs. Frency Saya RBR

Round 8

Saludar fighting calmer now, less of the wasteful stuff he was doing for the last few rounds, following with his fists steepled over his brow and then plugging away only when close with right uppercuts on the body. Rosa tries an overhand left whistling up high overhead and down - it gets the crowd excited and looks dramatic but doesn't really do much, as Saludar gets his gloves up to more or less disperse it. Saludar keeps pressuring behind a nice body jab, still working economically. Rosa is using a mathematical compass-walk, planting one foot and swinging the other leg around in a semicircle after throwing a single quick shot. When that shot is a left he is making partial contact with Saludar's nose, but not often enough.

10-9 Saludar, close

77-74 Saludar

 

Round 9

Saludar is following, using his arms to catch shots, but Rosa faking him out with the left and then slapping him in the face with a right hook. They appear to clinch and Rosa flings Saludar onto the canvas but he is given a ten count? Wtf, gonna have to see a replay of that "knockdown" to detect where there was a punch, didn't seem like one. Saludar is pissed, chasing after Rosa with jabs and rights on the chest, but Rosa moves around the ring, alternating between pivoting on a single anchored leg or trotting sideways.

10-8 Rosa

85-84 Saludar

 

Round 10

Saludar is jabbing in on Rosa, getting him on the ropes and then skewering with a low right. Clinch by Rosa to interrupt a three piece that seemed to stun him a little. Rosa now letting rip some hard left uppercuts thrown shallowly into the high-hoisted trunks of Saludar, probably landing where his navel is. Saludar is feinting with the jab on the way in, but Rosa not biting, just maneuvering along the ropes and occasionally tossing a long lead left on the body or whipping a right hook up top as he breezes by. Saludar catches him in the corner and chops away at him, forcing him down. Rosa complains but a punch did land, even though it was half-push.

10-8 Saludar

95-92 Saludar
