![]() But, this was a much, much better fight than the official scores imply. Still, three clean sweep cards are an insult to a very good fight between two worthy champions.Įstrada finished strong, and deservedly leaves with what used to be Rupprecht’s WBC belt at 105 pounds to pair with the WBA title she already had. So, wider cards in Estrada’s favor were expected. Unofficially, Bad Left Hook had it 96-94 for Estrada, and that was with more than a couple of debatable rounds tallied in Rupprecht’s favor. Rupprecht snapped Estrada’s head back on multiple occasions and left Estrada with marks and swelling on both sides of her face. But, the official scores of 100-90 from all three judges are insulting to Rupprecht (12-1-1, 3 KO), who slipped and blocked a ton of punches, and did brilliant work with counter hooks. She was moving constantly, and had a much more active jab. CLOSES THE SHOW WITH A R11 KO #RamirezCommey /Uda0Vi0SAg- Top Rank Boxing MaUndercard highlights and results Seniesa Estrada UD-10 Tina Rupprechtīafflingly wide scorecards in what was actually a very well-matched and exciting fight in the co-feature between Seniesa Estrada and Tina Rupprecht.įirst things first, Estrada (24-0, 9 KO) looked very good tonight. ESPN+ cut the post-fight short, and any interview clips online so far make no mention of his future intentions. As for Ramirez? No telling what his plans are after hastily abandoning a mandatory shot at Regis Prograis. Commey isn’t young, and he may not have a championship ceiling at 140 pounds, but he’ll be a stiff test for second tier contenders if he chooses to keep fighting. It’s the first knockout win in almost four years for Jose Ramirez, and a resilient performance in defeat for Richard Commey. Whether from damage to Commey or confidence for Ramirez, it was all one way from then on, ending on a left hook to the body that sent Commey to a knee he needed more than 10 seconds to get back up from. Ramirez seemed surprisingly passive in the later rounds, until coming out hot in the 11th and landing a fight-changing knockdown. He was much more successful that way, picking up a few rounds and limiting what had worked so well for Ramirez early. Things swung in the middle rounds, as Commey used a long jab to maintain separation. And while Commey blocked most of what came his way, he didn’t catch them all, and did little in return to keep Ramirez off of him. The tight quarters also allowed Ramirez to trap Commey consistently in the first few rounds. Commey seemed eager to keep things in close, which didn’t go well for him as Ramirez unloaded with body hooks and uppercuts. Things seemed destined for an early finish, as Ramirez had Commey shaken, cornered, and hanging on for dear life within the first minute of Round 1. In between, Commey (30-5-1, 27 KO) rallied impressively when he managed to stay clear of the ropes and corner and keep Ramirez at distance. This was a two-mode fight that started and ended with Ramirez (28-1, 18 KO) pressing and bullying in dominant fashion. Jose Ramirez started hot and finished strong in front of an adoring crowd in Fresno, California, finishing Richard Commey in the 11th round on a sweeping left hook to the liver.
