BOXEO - Something that was on Fox Sports En Espanol

This was sitting on my DVR and I'm like "hey what the fuck". Pavel Miranda vs. Alex Viramonte! Thompson Promotions! Corona, CA! I know nothing about either guy. Welterweights? Viramonte is like 9-5-3. What the hell is this doing on TV? Miranda is 18-1. Oh boy.

SCORECARD: 78-72 Miranda

Viramonte walks forward and is a sucker for body punches. He ceases being the aggressor after a minute or so. Miranda is throwing right hand leads, and my expectation is that I will get to see another fight on this one hour show.  Viramonte again comes forward in round 2 and again eats lots of offense. Like, consistently. Everything thrown seems to land. If Miranda shows any negatives in this fight, its that he is way too willing to fight inside. Not that Viramonte can do anything about it, but someone who is better very easily could. He's actually a lousy inside fighter, to be honest. 

Viramonte looks more impressive in the 3rd than in prior rounds because he is landing some slappy punches. He is still being outlanded 2-1, if not worse. But because Miranda is letting him inside so easily, he's getting the shots off to possibly land. Viramonte actually gets off a few power shots in a row in the 4th to start with. Is Miranda gassed? His mouth keeps opening, so I suppose that answers that. Viramonte is about as willing to clinch on the inside too now. I hope this is only a 6 rounder. 

Round 5! I am surprised to be here. Viramonte is inside but now he is inactive there and eating uppercuts. Miranda seems to have a problem: He can't punch. I mean, he's more accurate and better trained and stuff, but he can't crack. No pop. That's all that keeps Viramonte in this. He's actually cutting off the ring well (because Miranda now cannot move) and throws some hooks when he does get him against the ropes. Miranda usually counters though and spins off before the episode repeats itself. I've got it 49-46 after 5.

In Round 6 Miranda continues to back straight up, continues to land better punches, continues to....you know. Round 7 and Miranda is bleeding from the nose! Exciting! He is still landing better shots but he is immobile and letting Viramonte in this in the 8th. Miranda is hurt halfway through by a flurry against the ropes and keeps on him for most of the round. Too bad he lost the fight. Somehow this is a split decision and Miranda gets the nod.
