Jorge “Travieso” Arce vs Jesus Rojas

Round 1: Rojas back up, Arce thumping him against the ropes. Rojas looking for the right uppercut, which should be his money punch tonight. Hard body blows by both. Rojas moving forward with straights and lands some good shots. Both guys throwing hard to the head and body. Rojas starting to take control later in the round and lands a big left hook upstairs. Another good right and uppercut. Thudding right from Rojas, Arce firing back, but he's the slower of the two and eats a big left hook. Great first round. 9-9.
Round 2: Arce is hit with a low blow followed by a rabbit punch. Arce crumbles and writhes around on the floor. He can't continue and appears to have equilibrium issues. Referee Kenny Bayless says the shot from Rojas was unintentional and since Arce can't continue, the fight ends in a no contest.

Mike Jones vs Randall Bailey
Round one: It seems like you can't throw a rock without hitting someone with a "big right hand," but in Bailey's case, it's absolutely true. He's got a Hendo-caliber right straight.
Both men tentative in the early going. Bailey just itching to throw that right hand, but sticking to jabs. First right hand is dodged. Jones looking for the left hook, nothing doing. Clinch. Another left hook attempt. Good right from Jones, who finally lands a solid left. Two rights from Jones connect. Slow round, but Jones seemed to be picking up later. 10-9 same.
Round two: Left hook from Jones, then one to the body. Bailey prodding with the jab and gets caught with a decent left. Jab to the body from Jones. Nice right and left from Jones inside. Left uppercut inside. Nice thumping lefts from Jones. Left hook from Jones. Boring fight, but I'm going to give the round to Jones on account of Bailey not doing squat. 20-18 Jones.
Round three: More action this round; both guys throwing early, Jones landing slightly better. Nice right from Jones. Couple solid shots inside from Jones. Body jab from Jones, who lands a couple hooks. Counter right from Bailey nearly hits home. Right hook from Bailey blocked. Right from Jones late. This fight sucks. 30-27 Jones.
Round four: Jones moving forward with a couple of hooks. Jones hits air. Multiple jabs from Jones. Nice slapping right from Jones, who seems to have Bailey slightly uncomfortable. Nice right from Jones. Poking jabs from Bailey fall short and he nearly catches a right from Bailey. Wild left misses from Jones, as does a straight from Bailey. Nice right from Jones. Right body blow from Bailey. Bailey throws a one-two but gets countered. Throw a damn punch, Bailey. 40-36 Jones.
Round five: Jones trying to just whip quick shots inside and slip away before Bailey can counter. Jim Lampley hates this fight and his whining is far more entertaining than the fight. Bailey wings a pair of big rights but hits air. Hard hooks inside from Jones. Bailey's trainer is absolutely furious with his charge, who moves forward but can't connect. Jones come forward with a left hook and Bailey slips. Reset. Nice flurry from Jones. Blegh. 50-45 Jones.
Round six: They're averaging a combined twelve landed punches a round. This fight sucks. Jab to the body from Jones. Quick flurry from Jones. Poking jabs from Bailey, stiffer one connects. Jones with another solid flurry. Another. Jabs from Bailey, left hook from Jones. Inside combination from Jones glances off. Quick uppercuts from Jones and a counter right connect. 60-54 Jones.
Round seven: Even the announcers are finding it difficult to watch this. Both guys just poking at each other, with Jones occasionally flurrying his way in. Bailey's barely throwing anything and Jones doesn't look like he has anything behind him. Seriously, just go watch Game Seven and come back in about half an hour for Arce. Another boring round of Jones doing slightly less nothing than Bailey. 70-63.
Round eight: ailey. you're a boxer. Throwing punches is part of your job description. Start hitting the guy who's punching you in the face. Jones lunging forward occasionally and flurrying. Bailey jabbing with approximately two right hands a round and a dozen wimpy jabs. Stiff jab from Jones and a solid right. Bailey's trainer looks like he's ready to kill Randall. Two nice jabs from Jones. 80-72 same.
Round nine: Bailey's trainer is so mad that he just had his cut man chew Bailey out. THROW. A. PUNCH. Jones finally lands a solid right and has Bailey wobbly for a second, but he gets his feet under him in short order. Stiff jab from Bailey. 90-81.
Round ten: Jones with a good flurry. NEVER MIND BAILEY FINALLY THROWS A PUNCH AND FLOOR JONES. He's back up, though. Where the hell was that earlier, Bailey? 98-91 Jones.
Round eleven: Beautiful punch from Bailey, that was. Another solid combination from Jones. Jab from Bailey. Some more. Flurry from Jones. MONSTER UPPERCUT FROM BAILEY! JONES IS GONE!
Final Result: Bailey def. Jones via knockout

Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Teon Kennedy

Round one: Pawing early from both men. Rigondeaux thumps the body with his left. BIG left from Rigondeaux and another and ANOTHER. Rigondeaux on the attack and FINALLY gets Kennedy to touch the ground with a glove. Teon is up. Nice left to the body from Guillermo. Prodding lefts from Kennedy come short. Rigondeaux surprisingly letting Teon off the hook late in the round. Good head movement, though, and a good uppercut near the end. One-way traffic so far. 10-8 Rigondeaux, who I don't think has taken a punch yet.
Round two: Poking jabs from Kennedy, left to the body from Guillermo. Nice left uppercut from Rigondeaux. Tie-up for a second. Another left to the body from Guillermo, who catches a glancing right from Kennedy. Uppercut again. Big left straight from Guillermo hits flush and puts Kennedy on his butt. He's back up and doesn't look hurt. Another good left stumbles Kennedy and yet another puts him down a third time. He has nothing for Rigondeaux and can't handle his power at all. 20-15 Rigondeaux.
Round three: Kennedy finally lands a jab. Rejoice. Good left from Kennedy now as they exchange. Guillermo has Kennedy on the ropes and lands a handful of blows. Another straight left to the guts from Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux picking his shots this round, but Kennedy is so hesitant he's not getting the opportunity. Good two head shots from Guillermo. Good counter right hook at the end of the round for the Cuban. 30-24 Rigondeaux.
Round four: Kennedy lands a decent left. Nice inside blows from Rigondeaux. Right hook upstairs from Guillermo, near-miss from his left. Fantastic head movement from Guillermo. Nice body blow from Guillermo, who also connects with a glancing right. Another big left hand from Guillermo puts Kennedy down for the fourth time, though the latter gets up. This isn't a fight, this is target practice. 40-32 Rigondeaux.
Round five: Kennedy more aggressive this round, but nothing landing. Left hand lands and stumbles Kennedy and ANOTHER left hand puts him down. That's it; Kennedy is okay, but referee Russell Mora stops it. That was an ass-kicking.

Final Result: Rigondeaux def. Kennedy by TKO
