Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4280387, member: 289"] Kelly came out and totally out-boxed Munguia for four rounds, moving in and out and aro9und, floating like a bald butterfly and stinging like an Irish bee. His confidence grew as the fight went along and he got more willing to exchange with Munguia briefly, then back out. Jaime timed this and followed him, hitting Kelly with a looping left hook that, combined with Kelly's only backwards momentum, sent him tumbling across the ring, into the rope and down to the canvas. Kelly got up but was soon down from an uppercut. He got up again but Jaime bulled him into a corner and threw several combinations at him. Kelly sank to the canvas and, although there was no three knockdown rule, the referee stopped it with no protest from Kelly. Munguia showed he could be out-boxed but is always dangerous. They are talking about fight with Jermall Charlo for the WBC middle title next. Munguia is no 40-0 so it's about time he fought for a title, (he was WBO junior middle title holder in 2018-19 but left that division of bigger game. The Berlanga that started his career with 16 straight one-round knockouts was absent from tonight's bout. Angulo proved to be a big aggressive but slow older guy and Berlanga elected to show his boxing ability and he basically won this fight with a piston-like jab. Angulo actually landed more power punches. Berlanga found himself backing up and against the ropes much of the fight but jabs and flurries kept him ahead on points. I graded the first round even and gave Angulo rounds 3&4. Then Berlanga got the jab going and took the next three rounds. In the 6th, bizarrely, in a clinch, he tried to bit Angulo in the shoulder. Fortunately, the ref didn't see it but the camera did. Timothy Bradley was left searching for something to say. He finally wondered "What is it with New York fighters?" (Tyson, now Berlanga.) That re-energized Angulo who I thought won the next two rounds. That meant that the 10th round, (there was no championship on the line) would decide it and Berlanga got those jabs going again to pull away. the judges gave Angulo a lot less credit than I did, giving him score like 98-92 and 99-91. But they had the right winner. If Berlanga can combined the boxing ability we saw tonight with his former power, he could have a strong career. This was his fourth straight fight to go to a decision after 16 straight one-round knockouts, a strange record. [/QUOTE]
