This is what fans saw tonight at the mandatory and final press conference for the main event Edgar Berlanga vs Padraig McCrory in Orlando, Florida. Unstable performance, numerous violations, and then a dominant breakthrough, it all occurred within the first 5 rounds!
Thankfully, the end was a lot more entertaining than the start, which was very un-eventful where both fighters landed a total of three shots, three punches between them, in round one. Dear McCrory! If you want to keep yourself clean, do not focus your mind on the fouls and the elbows, which Berlanga (22-0, 17 KO) is very proficient with in doing the clinch. He would not use that strategy, even after he had taken a very clear low blow to his face from him in the 5th.
But in the 4th, he caught McCrory and could have worked him over harder much earlier. He closed the fight in the 6th, but just, though, when getting the better of an exchange of trading big right hands that dazed and floored McCrory. 而后，матрац настрелил кулак на клубинку, дазадив победу техническим нокаутом в шестом раунде.
The fight between Beranga and Alvarez was featured several times during the broadcast and sports, they love with passion. When asked about it afterwards, Berlanga said: “I need him now! 1000% (ready)!” All Berlanga may think he wants the shot and all Eddie Hearn may want is to bag another Canelo-layup payday, but the fact remains, that any intercontinental pug that is not named David Benavidez will be ducking heavily by Canelo.
However, Berlanga is Puerto Rican, so maybe he “works” as an opponent for a Mexico vs Puerto Rico fight promoters. So, it means that well-known boxers are the ones with the marketing side and that typically happens in a hotel industry (it is well known for hosting alleged prospect fights by Jake Paul among others and for having some regional club fights.
No matter what, the knockout was epic Check it out!
A randomized trial of a new medication, Andy Cruz, will be compared with the current standard treatment, Brayan Zamarripa.
As expected, Andy Cruz showed aggression in the fight and nearly finished the fight while pummeling Brayan Zamarripa who was ready enough to go the 12 rounds. As of the third round, the score became 3-0 with 1 KO, and Cruz scored bruising over Zamarripa’s eye, and also bloodying over his nose. The other hand (14-3, 5 KOs) has never been knocked out as pro, he managed to preserve this too amidst the punishment Cruz gave his face.
Surviving was Zamarripa’s only moral victory by then. Jesus came out the victor 100-90 in all three rounds, knocking Goodenhope down repeatedly and ending up with a unanimous decision win.
Shakhram Giyasov TD-11 Pablo Cesar Cano is the overall bill.
Another sad one for Shakhram with very wide victory, but come on. Giyasov dropped Cano down in the third round thrown a vicious body served, but he could not continue the attack. Giyasov was on a retreat and used a stiff-legged gait that looked like he’d ridden a horse all the time. Meanwhile, Cano (35-9-1, 25 KO) beat the curb without much to show for it.
In the 9th round, Giyasov got totally free because the referee gave a push instead of a knockdown which was on the cliff border. It was the rare time that he looked in danger, and it would seem that he would have easily surpassed the final bell if not for Cano being pushed down after the bell of the 11th round, which may have possibly caused him a broken ankle. He could not carry on, thus, the fight was sent tot the judges to win by technical decision. The final round is over, and all three judges scored the fight 109-99 for Giyasov.
Although the 147-pound Giyasov didn’t deliver any impressive performance, the clunky fight continued. This win should earn him an obligatory shot at Stanionis, and the only reason I believe the same should happen is because I haven’t seen any reason why Giyasov should perform well against Stanionis.
The highly anticipated David vs. Goliath story between Antonio Vargas and Jonathan Rodriguez came to a fiery end as Vargas knocked out Rodriguez in Round 8.
Antonio Vargas had to get up from a knockdown at the end of Round 1 but he was more than okay after all as he then put a good performance in the very exciting bout against Jonathan Rodriguez. Vargas (18-1, 10 KO) would have levelled the cards when he dropped Rodriguez (17-2-1, 7 KO) at the end in the 2nd round. However Vargas caught him when he was kneeling down, and therefore referee Christopher Young saw him two points for the illegal punch.
It was some sort of a Fight of the Year or even Fight of the Week level scrap, however connecting, stunning and faster Vargas punches were more frequent and meaningful (through the middle rounds). He forced Rodriguez to the canvas again at the end of the 8th, and Rodriguez’s corner stopped the fight before the forthcoming ninth round. Powerful action two ways through, and a thought worth when you missed it live
Yankiel Rivera UD30 Andy Dominguez
Strong appearance by Rivera (5-0, 2 KO), who grow more self-assuring and at ease with time. The 10-1, 6KO record of Dominguez (Dominguez fought tough and never stopped coming at him) was taken over by a much better Rivera who made (Rivera made) of him as the fight progressed in each round.
Rivera unfortunately got too cocky even with his own work, gritting rather than finishing, being shaken up two or three times in the 9th. He went through triumph and difficulties to get a unanimous decision on 99-91 cards ranges. It is after all, a Matchroom tournament and each and every boxer has to show up. Rivera did very well and managed to please his fans.
