Bobby Chacon vs. David Sotello ~ "The Riot at The Forum"

[Bill Paxtom]

Coming out for Round 7, Bobby Chacon was pitching a shut-out on all '3' Scorecards.

The bout had been an easy 'piece-of-cake'.

Bobby had landed with nearly all of his punches on his over-matched opponent >
Left-jabs, left-hooks, 'left-right' combinations, and right-hands to the mid-section.

But David Sotello was still there. Over 6-Rounds, Sotello must have thrown nearly
200-Punches, and still had yet to land with a decent punch.

Before Round 7 started, Bobby was 'smiling' and waving to everybody at The Forum.

Round 7

Again it was easy going for Bobby, as he peppered the 'wild-swinging' and raw-fighting
David Sotello with left-jabs. mixed in with a few 'left-right' combinations.

But by the mid-way session in the Round, Bobby started to get 'cocky'. Instead of boxing
smartly, Bobby lowed his guard and started playing around.

It was like Bobby wanted to give Sotello a chance. Now the Mexican was able to get in a little
closer, and was finally able to land with a few glancing blows.

Still, Bobby was in control, and backed to the Ropes where he did a little 'Rope-A-Dope',
and played to the crowd while Sotello moved in and flung-in awkward punches.

Sotello did enough work in this Round to make it 'Even', as Bobby did 'nothing' over the
second-half of the Round as he played to the crowd of 7894 while leaning on the Ropes.
