Tonight's Vegas card - updates?

[IntentionalButt]

Edgar Sosa's fighting now, right?

It'd put me on cloud nineteen to hear about Arce losing to Rojas. :yep

[boxing_report]

It's a very real probability that Arce might lose tonight.

Rojas is a dangerous, tall southpaw who can bang and possesses a solid chin.

Rojas is definitely an under-the-radar threat.

[huki]

I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone has that spanish channel and can report what's happening during the Sosa fight.

How can you not like Arce?

[IntentionalButt]

It's a very real probability that Arce might lose tonight.

Rojas is a dangerous, tall southpaw who can bang and possesses a solid chin.

Rojas is definitely an under-the-radar threat.

You're getting me all hot and bothered. :happy:happy

Most people just seemed to dismissively say "Arce by KO" because the guy's got a journeyman record, but he's never been stopped in 36 fights and doesn't have a bad ko percentage himself. :think

[SkunkApe]

I'd appreciate updates, too.

[boxing_report]

I'll do my best providing updates between rounds.

[SkunkApe]

I'll do my best providing updates between rounds.

Thank you! If you ever come to Wyoming, I'll buy you a Fat Tire draft beer.

[boxing_report]

The "Box Azteca" show is doing wacky Vegas background stuff right now.

I assume the undercard should begin shortly.

I've never tuned into this channel before.
I wonder if I've missed fight cards in the past.

[boxing_report]

Damn, there's a couple of super hot Mexican chicks doing pre-fight :good commentary.

[SkunkApe]

Damn, there's a couple of super hot Mexican chicks doing pre-fight :good commentary.

Is there lots of cleavage?

[boxing_report]

Definitely

[boxing_report]

The hostess is in a skintight , lowcut red dress

[boxing_report]

Why SHE is hosting a boxing match - who knows? :lol:

But it's good eye candy - no complaints.

[4Rounder]

Is there lots of cleavage?

Yes there is.:hey

They are still doing a whole bunch of pre-fight stuff, my guess the fights start at 6pm, in a few minutes.

[boxing_report]

It's kind of like Access Hollywood right now....but with a hotter chick.

[SkunkApe]

The hostess is in a skintight , lowcut red dress

This is better than phone sex. Keep it coming...

[boxing_report]

Oh, I guess there's several undercards.
Female boxers will be first up it looks like.

hmmmm:patsch

[allenko1]

look at that rack.............

[boxing_report]

looky looky INDEED....(heheh):nut

[4Rounder]

Apparently they are gonna start up with a woman's boxing match.

La Princesa Azteca, Jackie Nava who is trying to get back her title after losing it in Argentina.

I think this one is a rubber match because I saw the first fight that was held in Tijuana, and the Argentinian beat her. I guess she didn't win the rematch as well.

[SkunkApe]

Oh, I guess there's several undercards.
Female boxers will be first up it looks like.

hmmmm:patsch

Are they hawt?

[allenko1]

awww it looked like it went off, don't understand spanish

[4Rounder]

Are they hawt?

Not really, super bantamweights.

The Argentinian is freaking ripped though.

[boxing_report]

After this commercial is the first of four bouts.

I only expected the two. (Sosa/Trejo) (Arce/Rojas)

[allenko1]

thats messed up, where's the broad?

[4Rounder]

My Bad, I thought Jackie Nava was fighting the Argentinian again, she is fighting and American Donna Biggers.

[boxing_report]

Actually, Jorge Paez jr. is fighting in the opener.

[boxing_report]

6 Rounder- lightweights.

Introductions are being made.

[boxing_report]

It's basically a t.v. showcase for the young prospect (Paez) against an opponent w/ a nondescript record.

[reed_man02]

paez jr. isnt impressing me. I doubt he can win a world title. I cant wait for the arce fight.

[boxing_report]

By the way, here's the buxom hostess.
Marbella Valencia.

[mike007]

Thanks for the updates.

Who do you think will win between Sosa and Trejo?

[boxing_report]

Most Likely, Sosa.

He's considered the favorite.

It'll probably be competive though.

[boxing_report]

*competitive

[boxing_report]

The first bout is over.

Paez jr. by UD

[mike007]

Thanks!

I look forward to your updates.

Navas vs. Biggers

Round 1

[boxing_report]

This fight doesn't look to go the distance.
Navas is landing hard flush head shots and digging left hooks to the body.

Biggers' face is already reddened.

Round 2 begins

[reed_man02]

This fight doesn't look to go the distance.
Navas is landing hard flush head shots and digging left hooks to the body.

Biggers' face is already reddened.

Round 2 begins

I agree. Nava is landing some nice accurate shots and bigger is too damn slow.

[boxing_report]

Biggers is very game and takes a good punch, but Navas is on another level it appears.
There's an angry mouse under Biggers' left eye which continues to swell.

Round 3 underway.

[boxing_report]

Biggers survives Round 3 despite a late heavy onslaught from Navas.

[boxing_report]

Another round scored for Navas.

[boxing_report]

Navas scored w/ an impressive array of bodyshots and counters in Round 5.
Biggers is taking a sustained beating, but firing back nontheless.

Round 6

[boxing_report]

A shut-out bout so far.
Biggers' left eye is purple and nearly closed.

Round 7

[boxing_report]

This is a mismatch.

There's no point in giving updates here.

I'll just announce the result.

[allenko1]

That was a beating

[4Rounder]

Jackie Nava wins a UD.

100-90 in all three cards and gets the WBC interim title.

[boxing_report]

A shutout beating.

Biggers is one tough broad.

Navas by UD

[4Rounder]

And whats the deal with the damn commercials.

They better not start skipping rounds again and time their shit right for the Arce fight.



Next is Edgar Sosa - Lorenzo Trejo.

[Lampley]

I was working on the ESB Rankings stuff at the time, but everytime I looked up Biggers was catching something flush.

[Lampley]

I'm jealous of the fans in attendance. I love venues that size.

[Shane_Erich]

Is this a PPV fight? If not what station?

Thanks!

[boxing_report]

Trejo and Sosa both in the ring now.

Introductions.

12 Rounds - WBC mini flyweight championship

[boxing_report]

Not PPV.
It's on the spanish-language AZTECA network.

[boxing_report]

Round 1 begins.

[boxing_report]

A feeling-out opening round.
Sosa circling to his left and jabbing controlled the most of the action.
Trejo working to close the distance, but winging some shots that miss.

Close round.

Sosa - round 1

[Lampley]

I scored it for Sosa as well. Good jab. Good movement. Close, though.

[boxing_report]

Round 2 Sosa jabbing from the outside - moving, defensively sound.

Worked some combinations toward the end of the round.

Trejo stalking, finding it hard to get inside.

Sosa edges Trejo in Round 2.

[Lampley]

I also scored Round 2 it for Sosa. The slowness and wide arc of Trejo's punches make it look like he's in a swimming pool.

Trejo needs to go to the body.

[boxing_report]

In Round 2 Sosa lands cleaner and more often.
Right hands especially found their target.

Sosa counterpunched effectively in this round.

Trejo basically beaten to the punch.
Still game, though, and busy.

Round 3 - Sosa

[Lampley]

I also score it 3-0 for Sosa, although it's likely all three judges don't see it that way.

Trejo actually looks a little bulked up to me. The hand and footspeed with the jab have been decisive early.

[Lampley]

Good flurry to end Round 4. Sosa simply is sharper.

Trejo needs to make an adjustment.

4-0 Sosa

[boxing_report]

Round 4 - Sosa picks up momentum.
His punches are crisper and sharper.
His timing is precise.
Sosa repeatedly nails Trejo with combinations, uppercuts, counters.

Trejo missing wildly is beginning to look a little dispirited.

Sosa definitely took over that round.

Round 5 begins.

[boxing_report]

Round 5 - The action heats up.
Trejo managed to land a bit more, but also got tagged more than in previous rounds.
Sosa simply outclassing Trejo w/ superior technique.
Sosa's movement has befuddled Trejo since the opening bell.

Round 5- Sosa

[Lampley]

Repeatedly, Trejo struggles to get close, and when he does get in, he gets beaten to the punch.

Sosa 5-0.

[boxing_report]

Round 6- more of the same...Sosa clearly boxing circles over Trejo.
There's a major class difference here.

It's clear that the only way Trejo could hope to win this bout is by TKO/KO which is unlikely due to Trejo's lack of firepower.

Round 6 - Sosa

[Lampley]

Sosa 6-0. He has all the answers in this fight.

The only shots Trejo throws with any danger with them, Sosa blocks easily with his gloves.

[Lampley]

Sosa 7-0.

The combination Sosa landed in the middle of the round makes me think he might be able to the stoppage.

I wonder if he'll press the issue in the last few rounds.

[boxing_report]

Round 7 - Sosa boxing beautifully from the outside.
Working a consistent jab off of Trejo's face.
Landing an occasional bodyshot.

They trade leather at the end of the round.
Sosa getting the better of it.

Round 7- Sosa

[boxing_report]

Round 8 - Sosa outboxing, outpointing - almost battering Trejo.
Trejo seems to be beaten to the punch at every turn.

A bodyshot fired by Sosa momentarily froze Trejo.

They engaged in a spirited exchange toward the end of the round.

Trejo seems to be cut above both eyes.

Round 8 - Sosa

[Lampley]

Sosa 8-0. The skill level isn't close.

Trejo is now becoming desperate, lunging and winging hooks from long-range. He is wide open for counters.

Sosa can make it happen if he goes for it.

[4Rounder]

Fight stopped.

Sosa wins by 9th round TKO.

[boxing_report]

Sosa by TKO in Round 9 for Sosa.

A weary Trejo battered along the ropes.

[miamite]

It happened. Trejo was finally stopped after the ref jumped in.

[4Rounder]

That was a pretty good fight, even if Sosa was ahead in points Trejo was still giving it all until the very end.

Alright, main event now, Arce - Rojas, it should be another very good fight.

[Lampley]

That combo Sosa landed in round 7 foreshadowed what was to come. Trejo was out of league in his fight.

He fight bravely, though, so congrats to him for that.

Sosa is a very solid fighter. Not spectacular, but I like the way he processes his advantages and sets tempo. He didn't give Trejo any opportunities for the homerun.

[Lampley]

That was a pretty good fight, even if Sosa was ahead in points Trejo was still giving it all until the very end.

Alright, main event now, Arce - Rojas, it should be another very good fight.

It definitely was a more competitive bout than it sounds. Trejo is a fine gatekeeper, and I mean that as a compliment.

Looking forward to the main event.

[huki]

YES! I bet on Sosa and under 10.5 rounds. :happy

[Lampley]

Sosa by TKO in Round 9 for Sosa.

A weary Trejo battered along the ropes.

Good job with the Round by Rounds. I'm enjoying being the virtual Merchant to your virtual Lampley.

[Shane_Erich]

No Azteca for me. Thanks for the updates! Its much appreciated.

[IntentionalButt]

Holy fuck my thread blew up. :lol:

[boxing_report]

I'm back -- had to take a dinner break.
Was starvin' marvin.

Lamps, glad to be your virtual Larry Merchant.
Thanks for not calling a virtual Max Kellerman.:lol:

Arce now making his way into the ring for the main event.

Ha, that would be rude!

[reed_man02]

[boxing_report]

Lupe Contreras making the introductions.

[boxing_report]

a huge height difference.

[boxing_report]

Rouind 1 begins

[Lampley]

By the way, tickets for this show were only $30.

And Sunday at the Hard Rock are huge because of Rehab.

These are your average gals for Rehab: [Only registered and activated users can see links]

[boxing_report]

Round 1- Rojas starts off the round using his long reach to keep Arce off him.
Rojas used the jab to both the body and head.

Arce scored with a few hooks, but Rojas took them well.

Rojas finished the round shooting a straight left into Arce's face that got his attention.

Round 1- Rojas

[Lampley]

Good round for Rojas, who sweeps with his hooks but digs well to the body and throws a good straight left.

Arce is the stronger of the two.

1-0 Rojas for me based on the assertion of his size advantage.

[IntentionalButt]

a huge height difference.

rojas really looks to be almost 3" taller?

[boxing_report]

Round 2- Rojas comes out firing his jab and unloading combinations from close quarters.
Rojas counterpunches Arce with quick sharp punches.

Round 2- Rojas

[Lampley]

2-0 Rojas. The taller man landed a right hook that buzzed Arce.

If Arce doesn't stay off the ropes, he could be in big trouble.

[hmi]

Do we see early stoppage here? It looks like a bad decision for Arce to fight Rojas.

[IntentionalButt]

Almost threw a little down on Rojas as a lark...beginning to regret that I didn't. :yep

[Lampley]

Very good fight!

Arce had a better round, but I still like the more precise combination punching of Rojas.

I do wonder if the tall man will tire. If he his conditioning holds, he has a great, great shot. But I wonder if it will.

Rojas 3-0.

[boxing_report]

Round 3 - Rojas won that round through speedy, hard combinations that snapped Arce's head to and fro.
Rojas also got in some punishing bodywork.

Arce got off a few good shots late in the round, but Rojas answered with the harder, cleaner punches.

Round 3- Rojas

[Lampley]

4-0 Rojas. A wider round.

Arce landed a few hooks that snapped back Rojas' head, but the taller, lankier fighter bounced numerous shots off Arce's dome.

Rojas obviously is a much better fighter than one might assume.

Arce does seem to be taking these punches OK, but he's catching a lot of leather.

[IntentionalButt]

Very good fight!

Arce had a better round, but I still like the more precise combination punching of Rojas.

I do wonder if the tall man will tire. If he his conditioning holds, he has a great, great shot. But I wonder if it will.

Rojas 3-0.

Is that a concern because he looks a little soft, or just speculative pondering?

[boxing_report]

Round 4 is a great action-packed round.
Both fighters going toe-to-toe.
Rojas outpunching Arce at the start -- then Arce taking over in the middle with hard hooks -- Rojas battering Arce at the end.
Arce has a cut on the bridge of his nose.

Closer round but Rojas' accurate combinations and powershots edging it for him.

Round 4 - Rojas

[Lampley]

Is that a concern because he looks a little soft, or just speculative pondering?

I thought Rojas looked a little winded down the stretch of round 3, but he bounced right back. He looks fine.

[boxing_report]

Arce hurts Rojas w/ a liver shot.

Fight stopped - TKO round 9


ARCE

[Lampley]

Wow, I had it 5-0 for Rojas, too.

[Antwuan Maxx]

Haha, wow. Arce was getting wrecked. Nice shot, though.

[boxing_report]

* Round 6 *

[4Rounder]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Arce was getting his ass kicked and then finds that liver shot and wins by TKO.

Big props to Arce, its that huge heart that kept him going until he found the spot.

[boxing_report]

Rojas was owning Arce up until that short liver shot.

A clever old-school veteran move from Arce.

[Lampley]

Great shot by Arce. Rojas was standing flatfooted, and he got nailed. He rose to his feet and was allowed to continue, but the fight was over in seconds. He was finished.

Too bad for him, and a career-saving win for Arce. He was on his way to lopsided loss. Goes to show!

[Lampley]

I loved this card. Sunday night boxing is great. The whole experience of the Spanish telecast and the wacky commericals was like being transported to a different country, even if the fight was in Las Vegas.

[boxing_report]

Gotta jet, guys.

Had fun.

cheers

[Lampley]

Got to give it to Arce.

He's a crowd pleaser, he can take a shot, he has power for his weight class and he never gives up.

He'll need to take a hard look at whether he can sustain a career at this weight though - perhaps he's a little too short?

I think speed is the bigger issue, and there's only so much he can do about that. He's a great showman for sure, and it was good to see him fight with sustained confidence after the Mijares debacle.

I also wonder if Rojas might be better served moving up a division or two. He'll lose relative height, but he's so narrow at that height, he just looks vulnerable physically.

It's hard to imagine that a fighter with his ability would have that many defeats.
