No counter punching from Cabrera as he saves his energy to wrestle free and move away. Cabrera keeps turning in his shoulders, trying to give Arro the slip and stay beyond his reach. Arro is grazing him with shots, at a low clip but Cabrera's sending almost nothing his way in return.

10-9 Arro

Round 4

Hard right to the body by Arro. Cabrera spins his way off the ropes in a clinch, and is warned for using his head. More pressure and sloppy punching up close by Arro, and Cabrera ties him up. Wide open-handed slaps to the ribs and overhands to the face by Arro, belching leather everywhere. Cabrera is using his shoulder-turning tricks again, but still getting touched as he essentially leaves himself in no position to counter with his arms down and body contorted. Arro pops him with an overhand.

10-9 Arro

38-38

 

All three judges gave it 10-9 to Arro and have it 39-37 to Cabrera overall.

So they all gave Cabrera the 3rd. :think
