Miranda - Abraham II: RBR, Chat, Free For All

[amat]

Really? No thread for this yet?

That's odd. Well Abraham still has only defended against one guy worth anything. That's Miranda. Not sure who I'm picking, Miranda probably. Either way I'm very interested in this one. Neither great technical fighters. Abraham really only fights in spots but those spots are brutal and exciting. No idea who wins, but am looking forward to it.

If I can find a suitable stream I will post a RBR.

Good pick up Amat..I was waiting & waiting.Marquez is as tough as they come and has seen it all but at this point gives measuring stick a new meaning.And he still lost the Mullings fight

[amat]

Raul Marquez versus Giovanni Lorenzo on now. Will pick up the RBR at round 2 as I missed most of this first. Lorenzo is a good fighter, fast fighter and rumored Pavlik opponent. Marquez might be a step up, Lorenzo looks good here in round 1.

[LEGION]

Lorenzo looks strong. Putting some nice punches together right now. Wouldn't be shocked to see Marquez get knocked out.

Lorenzo - Marquez

Round 2: Marquez out stalking early on in the second, Lorenzo circling around the outside. Lorenzo catches Marquez coming forward with a long right that hurt Marquez a bit. He presses on the ropes but relents. Another right hand hurts Marquez, Marquez on the ropes again. Lorenzo is a very long puncher, long and flat and he is spacing them nicely. Marquez has no chance on the outside. Lorenzo doesn't jab all that much, he is using his feet to try to invite Marquez forward and then punch from angles. A right hand lands at the bell, nice showing here early.

Real cagey clasping inside and hitting by Lorenzo,Marquez is allll balls.Lip cut up?Perfect opponent for a 'showcase' fight.

[Violent Demise]

Lorenzo just looks so much bigger than Marquez

Lorenzo - Marquez

Round 3: Marquez puts Lorenzo on the ropes early twice, trying to dig the body but didn't manage much. Lorenzo still circling on the outside, really trying to create some openings with his feet rather then his hands. Nice ring control here. A long straight right hand lands a minute in for Marquez. Very long arms on Lorenzo, not sure what his reach is but he uses every bit of it. This round is a bit slower, Lorenzo is defensive for the most part circling and Marquez can't manage any offense. Very good footwork. Lorenzo lands a uppercut as Marquez walks forward. The round is over, Lorenzo's round.

[Spicoli]

Wow,Marquez with head movement......Umm,not used to that.Lorenzo is trying to be too cutsie and set up punch happy,giving Marquez many chances

Lorenzo - Marquez

Round 4:
Marquez trying to walk Lorenzo down early, lands a few hooks from way outside and manages to get Lorenzo on the ropes where he tries to dig to the body a bit. Lorenzo got a few counters in, nice counter right. Lorenzo is tying up on the inside every time and the ref is breaking them immediately. Lorenzo moving laterally, Marquez challenges him to stop running. They exchange, both do a nice job of slipping each other. Marquez able to do more work inside this round, lands a left to the jaw. Lorenzo comes back with an uppercut and they wrestle to the bell. A good bounce back round for Marquez, the distance really closed there.

[LEGION]

Much better round for Marquez. Lorenzo seems to rely totally on that right hand. I like Marquez's attitude; trying to get Lorenzo to stand and fight.

[Violent Demise]

Surprised to see Lorenzo backing up so much. Expected more from him. Disappointed so far

[amat]

Round 5: Marquez runs out at Lorenzo, Lorenzo pushes him right back with a long jab. Lorenzo back to moving, Marquez puts his hands in the air, Lorenzo answers by throwing his up. Have you ever seen Jones Jr. - Pazienza? The headgames might be working, Marquez able to buy some space inside and is really ripping away to the body. Lorenzo lands a pair of counter rights, but for the most part this is taking place on the inside where it's all Marquez basically. Back to the outside where Lorenzo isn't doing as much punching as he probably should be. He's waiting for Marquez to make his move but Marquez isn't rushing n blindly anymore. I gave that one to Marquez again.

[Douglas]

Ya'll lucky bastards. I wish I could be watching the fight and posting updates on here. Now that's what I call LIVING A LITTLE.

[Spicoli]

Big inside headbutt,Marquez effecting him with a fast jab in the 6th...Raheem needs to settle down & force him off,Niiice right by Lorenzo as they swap shots.
