ZongLi He vs. Diarh Wigan Gabutan & Li Yiran vs. Joe Booc Tejones RBR

Damn.

Now cue somebody making an un-PC joke about "weren't Chinese supposed to be known for doing their homework? "

 

He could well prove to be another bit of risky matchmaking gone wrong here, unless he gets robbed (or there's a big turnaround)

 

Round 6

Yiran is headhunting with big loops outward from mid-range with both arms, falling in with them, blocked or missing outright. Tejones is sticking with just his native stance, no call for switching to right-handed as he's able to casually and effectively counter with just the right jab, left hand lead, and occasional 1-2. Yiran's only real connections now are on the body, stepping in and bowling gutterballs on the hip. Yiran occasionally jumping in and grazing the head with a flying right hand, but mostly kept honest by the sharp down-the-middle counters of Tejones.

10-9 Tejones

58-56 Tejones

 

Round 7

Yiran is charging in, stabbing out with both hands. Countered viciously with short, straight counters on the face. Pause. Loose glove tape. Time in. Yiran charges in some more, countered some more. Tejones literally carving his face like roast beef. Ref calls time out to have the physician climb on the ring apron to inspect the shredded face of Yiran, who starts a spastic pumping of both fists in the air, perhaps thinking he is up on the cards and may be en route to a technical decision - which shouldn't be the case, barring corruption, because those cuts AFAIK were from clean punches and not fouls... Time in again, some flurry of activity from both, another timeout called to check the cut. Rinse & repeat. Finally the ref says no more, this contest isn't going to continue...remains to be seen what the ruling is (whether a TKO on cuts victory for Tejones, or going to scorecards for a TD)

10-9 Tejones

68-65 Tejones

 

Yiran celebrating, inexplicably. Does he not understand the rules of boxing? I'm not sure why he's this optimistic unless the fix is really in, and he only needed to not get kayoed to be ensured victory... (and technically, he should have a stoppage loss here per the rules, as those cuts are most certainly from punches...)

 

Shades of Maravilla vs. Cintrón, screwed in multiple ways in a single fight. (Maravilla should've won by DQ, KO, and on points...here Tejones should've won by TKO and failing that, on points..)

 

How was the He vs. Gabutan decision, fair or wonky? I'm highly suspicious after seeing this one.

 

I wish I had woken up like 15 minutes earlier, could have caught Naito vs. Chavez in full and done a proper RBR for it.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one! Dangan was already on my radar, I was pleading with @Boxing Prospect last night for a link before going to sleep, didn't even occur to me to check with you even though you always seem to have your thumb on the pulse. But this one I never would've assumed would be watchable.

 

Actually if we can replay the whole card in the OP link then I guess I can just check it out and score it myself.
