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

[Bill Paxtom]

Between Rounds 8 and 9 >

A 'frantic' Chacon Corner attempted to revive Bobby by pouring ice-cold water
over his head and down his back.

The cut-man applied gobs of Vaseline over the cut on his left eye-brow.

In David Sotello's corner, they were excited, as the supporters behind his corner
were cheering 'May-Hee-Co'.

They told their fighter to go out a 'finish' Chacon.

Round 9

The Mexican came out swinging, as a 'still groggy' Chacon teetered on wobbly-knee's.

Bobby immediately moved to the back Ropes, and covered up with both gloves up. Sotello came in
punching, and threw punches from awkward angles, both 'high-and-low'.

By the {0:45 Mark}, Bobby had appeared to clear the 'cobwebs in his head', and started
to punch back with left-hooks while moving to his right, to the back-left Ropes.

But David Sotello was still there 'flinging' clumsy hooks, as he kept Bobby pinned on the
back-left Ropes for a good 50-Seconds.

Bobby Chacon was surviving 'purely-on-instinct'.

Just as Sotello was blasting-away, Bobby snuck off the Ropes and backed out to Center-Ring,
at the {1:45 Mark} as Sotello missed with his wild-swings.

Sotello continued to move in close, and slammed away with hard 'right-left' punches to
Chacon's body.

The Mexican was looking for a 'home-run punch' which would end it, but suddenly at the
{2:10 Mark} Bobby Chacon came alive.

Bobby then went 'toe-to-toe' with Sotello.

The action was 'even' over the last-minute of Round 9, as Bobby looked to have regrouped
and regained his balance, despite taking a few solid punches to the head and getting shellacked
over the first 2-Minutes of Round 9.
