Andy Ruiz-Alvaro Morales currently fighting...that's 555 pounds of heavyweights in the ring right now.

 

Jesse Magdaleno (3-0) is a solid looking prospect...KO's Jamie Gutierrez in the first, sends Gutierrez to 3-5 and his fourth straight loss.

Body punches do the job...Gutierrez took a knee, then went down again from a right jab to the body.

 

Bruce Bruce has me in TEARS over here! LMMFAOOO!!

 

Roberto Marroquin (18-0, 14) coming up next against Gilberto Sanchez Leon (30-7-2, 10)

 

Two Mexican fighters fighting in the middle of shithole Nebraska. Then a Mexican from Kansas fighting in Vegas. WTF is going on?

:dunno:

 

Good competitive first round between Marroquin and Leon. Both landed some jabs, looked like Leon landed more, mixed in a couple hooks...hard to tell on the screen how well some of them landed and which ones got blocked.

Round 2 looked like another solid one for Sanchez Leon's left. Jabs mostly.

 

DeMarco controls round 1. Landed some solid left hands. Reyes Sanchez cut above the left eye in the first minute of the fight.

10-9 DeMarco

 

Good round three. Sanchez Leon started with some more solid jabs. Marroquin got more agressive, landed some hooks, got caught with a solid hook by Sanchez Leon, and some other punches, but finished the round with a good flurry, very good left hook in there.

 

Demarco is picking Sanchez apart, and looking good doing so. I dont think Sanchez will last the distance with that cut.

 

DeMarco takes round 2. Sanchez looks very sloppy coming in. DeMarco is blocking and countering almost eveything Sanchez throws.

20-18 DeMarco

 

Interesting round four. Sanchez Leon had some good jabs early; Marroquin had a good middle of the round, when he got closer instead of staying on the end of hte jab, and landed some good looking power punches; by the end of the round, Sanchez Leon was back to jabbing.

 

Sanchez down in round 3 from a slip. DeMarco continues to land single shots and take the rounds.

30-27 DeMarco

 

Round five the best for Marroquin...landed a big left hook as they traded hooks, wobbled Sanche Leon, who stayed close to the ropes after that. Marroquin landed some more power punches, but was overall pretty measured in his attack.

 

Sanchez trying to turn this into a brawl. Landed some good shots but took more in return.

40-36 DeMarco

 

Sanchez Leon less active with the left hand in the sixth, fewer jabs. Marroquin still not opening up a lot, mostly one punch at a time, a jab, a hook, did double-up on a couple lefts tot he body....last ten seconds, Marroquin flurried as Sanchez Leon backed up against the ropes.

 

Reyes Sanchez trying to smother DeMarco. Landed some shots but really did no damage. DeMarco countered with two good body punches and some straight lefts. Decent round for Sanchez but still didn't win the round.

50-45 DeMarco

 

Sanchez Leon's jab returned nicely in the seventh. Barry Tompkins said Marroquin's bleeding form the nose. Marroquin threw a fwe punches, a couple in combination, but appeared to be out-landed.

Close fight going into the 8th and final round.

 

Sanchez still coming on. Was a little more effective this round and got countered less. Went down again on another slip. I actually gave Sanchez this round.

59-55 DeMarco

 

Feed gave out for part of the last minute of the eighth round. Before it did, seemed like Sanchez Leon's left hand was getting teh better of the round. Marroquin didn't seem to fight it with much urgency.

This one's going to the scorecards.

 

Rios is such a badass.

 

Raul Marquez and Barry Tompkins both have it a draw.

Trowbridge 78-74 ::, Ford & Clements 77-75...all for Marroquin.

 

Sanchez coming fwd still brawling. DeMarco less effective in counterpunching. Landed on nice uppercut. DeMarco trying to battle back at the end. Close round. I gave it to Sanchez.

68-65 DeMarco

 

This is a good fight.

 

Sanchez on top of DeMarco all round. DeMarco did some decent countering along the ropes. Both fighters complaining to the ref. DeMarco about holding, Sanchez about being hit in the back. I scored it even.

78-75 DeMarco
