Warming up to O.Valdez slowly.

The boy's got Nonito's counter left hook.
Not as powerful though.

By the way, Jibran fought earlier this month:

Could he be the one to stop Nietes' reign of madness?

The Mexican Godz of Boxing are watching him closely.
Estrada is the chosen one for that :ibutt

Cut.

Fouled.

Castillo-level opponent.

Stylistic nightmare.

Awkward rhythm negated timing.

Legs diminished.

Outweighed.

Outmuscled.

Past-prime.

Goes to war.
Finishes like a champion.
Wins.
I still wonder how many people they dragged away and skinnied alive just so they can patch up Finito's lids and brows.

Alvarez is such a monster too. Prime for prime, he would be a great opponent even with the Nicaraguan today.

Rosendo was more than just "Finito's Cerberus".

His nickname describes him perfectly.

Strong, tough, relentless and evil.

And he was no Mayorga skill-wise.

Lopez made him look cruder than he actually was.

Just a wlider version of a typical slugger.
And good footwork, by the way.

Would've given most of the great midget champs a lot of trouble.

And that includes Chocolol too.

Especially considering that we're talking the less refined strawweight Gonzalez.

A painful combination of Rosas 1 & Chango Vargas fights is the most likely scenario.

A razor-close slightly controversial win a la Chavez-LaPorte is the most likely outcome.
 
The spell has been broken, the curse has been lifted
Black is the wind on the heels of the Nightmare
Tapales did it.

Through sheer determination.

Almost gor singsurat'd twice in one round.

His corner revived him with a secret word: "Villaflor".

Penalasameness ensued:

Tapales' team's celebratory screams piercing the silence.

Lopez, like Alexander knew that losing was something lesser mortals did. Victory without question is all we ask. And Finito answered.
