your arms off him.

Round 10

At the Bell >

Bobby came out of his Corner, and 'foolishly' moved to Center-Ring to trade.

In the corner, Manager - Joe Ponce was 'screaming' at Bobby >

to the back-left Corner at the {0:25 Mark}.

Sotello moved in fast with a 'barrage-of-punches' to the head and body, as Bobby sagged into
the Ring-Post.

Then Sotello shot in a left-hook to the face, and Bobby's knee's buckled. Chacon was in 'serious'
trouble at the {0:40 Mark}.

The David Sotello supporters were now in a 'frency' screaming .... 'May-Hee-Co'.

Referee - Chuck Hassett took a good look at Chacon at the {0:50 Mark}, but made no move.

The 'clumsy-punching' Sotello continued to 'whack away', and at the {1:20 Mark} he caught
Bobby with a 'slashing right-hook' to the left-eye, opening up the cut more as blood flowed
down Bobby's left-cheek.

Bobby was 'rocked', but he was able to get off the Ropes, and moved out sideways to
Center-Ring at the {1:30 Mark}.

Sotello then came 'barreling-in' head-first, and drove his head into Bobby's chest, sending
Chacon flying backwards across the Ring and into the right-side Ropes.

Bobby immediately covered up, as Sotello came in with winging-hooks to the head. Bobby
was able to 'roll-with-the-punches', and looked to be able to withstand the onslaught while
pinned on the Ropes.

But Sotello slammed in a 'thunderous' right-hook to the head at the {2:05 Mark}, and Bobby
was visibly shaken.

The Forum crowd was now 'going crazy'.

Ring area as Sotello continued to wing wildly.

There, Bobby tried to fight back. Then both fighters 'slugged' it out with a deafening noise
from the crowd inside The Forum smothering over the Ring.
