Santa Cruz vs Avalos ~ Mares vs Gutierrez on FOX

[Spicoli]

Lots of clinching in 4th when Gutierrez rushes in, Mares warned for head butt and unleashes at rounds end with good shots. Better pressure and effect from Gutierrez middle of 5th. Getting much closer just not cutting him off yet. Nice exchange in corner ends the round.

[Spicoli]

Much closer 6th good action. Fights being aired in Benny Hill skit speed tonight FFS. Mares back on point in 7th controlling distance, punch and get out.

[Spicoli]

He's really turning it up in 8th just bouncing punches off Gutierrez who doesn't seem to have much of a plan B. Cut(s) have really opened up now

[GaMo]

Wish they’d stop this one not because it needs to be stopped but because it’s predictable. Mares is schooling him but doesn’t have the power to finish things

[Spicoli]

Be surprised if doctor doesn't step in over in corner, looks like someone took box cutter to that left eye. Why'd that break feel like only 10 seconds. Like to see Mares force it a bit and ref will help out.

is he cut in the fk'n ear now too

[Spicoli]

Alright good stuff doctor stops on break, face of Gutierrez is shredded. Good win for Mares

Edit..so cut ruled result of head butt? Mares wins unanimous TD. Kind of splitting hairs really.

[GaMo]

Yeah good win and a nice performance. I’d like to see him fight Frampton

[Kirkland Laing]

Good evening chaps.


StubHub not exactly packed, is it? Two big names on the card and it's not even half full.

[Spicoli]

Not sure who Avalos people are paying to get him a crack at Santa Cruz and title but if any fighter deserves 'soft touch' it's Santa Cruz. Be interesting to see if he reverts to windmill form after boxing so smart vs Frampton last out.

assuming a lot, maybe Avalos knows something we don't
