Chavez vs Rubio Streaming Undercard: Live Results and Round-By-Round Coverage
Tonight's Chavez vs Rubio undercard is streaming live via Top Rank's web site, and you can watch the fights there or just above here in the embedded player.
Featured on the undercard tonight is junior middleweight motormouth Vanes Martirosyan (31-0, 19 KO), taking another easy stay-busy fight against 41-year-old club fighter Troy Lowry (28-11, 17 KO). Martirosyan, 25, is starting to take more and more heat for his matchups, as they seem to be getting worse while he complains about not getting big fights. In his last three fights, Martirosyan has stepped down some each time, going from game veteran Saul Roman to indifferent veteran Richard Gutierrez and now a guy who has no business in the ring with him.
Also featured tonight is welterweight prospect Wale "Lucky Boy" Omotoso (20-0, 17 KO). Omotoso's first two fights with Top Rank haven't exactly been smooth, with rocky victories over Calvin Odom and Lanardo Tyner. Tonight he takes a little step back against Nestor Rosas (11-2, 7 KO), and you wonder if perhaps Top Rank hasn't figured he needs some more work before making any big moves.
Tonight marks the setting of a new standard for Bad Left Hook, as from this point forward, when a full undercard is available, we will be covering the event live from start to finish.
The rest of the lineup after the jump.

Longoria vs Valencia is already happening, so I guess we’ll miss that one. I know, you’re crushed. I am too.

Well, we missed the first 2.5 rounds anyway. Video’s live.

Featherweights: Ricardo Valencia UD-4 Jeremy Longoria (38-37, 39-36, 39-36)
The stream came in live late on this one, so I can’t score it, but Raul Marquez for Top Rank had it 39-36 for Valencia and the fight reportedly had plenty of action. This is the first win for Valencia (1-2-1, 0 KO), and the first loss for Longoria (3-1, 1 KO). Longoria was knocked down on a body shot.

OK, these dudes have come out to “Iron Man” and “Stranglehold” — this is officially the most kickass fight ever. Does coming out to “Stranglehold” in Texas make you an honorary Von Erich?

Najera vs Castillo Round 1

Castillo coming out winging shots, and Najera is willing to do that with him. Right hand from Najera. This looks like a probable brawl. Left hook from Castillo.
“He turned pro in 1998 but was out for a couple of years.” A couple, 12, whatever.
Najera’s 19. Castillo with a body shot left hand, and Najera is just there to fire shots. Castillo has some gumption. Man these two are throwing leather. Castillo with a decent shot on Najera. Najera criticized by Raul for throwing arm punches. Big right from Najera. Big combo from Najera, and he shakes Castillo a bit. Castillo pops him with a left hook.
This is all offense. Just how I like my four-rounders.
Najera 10-9, but this is a fight

Najera vs Castillo Round 2

More offense. Castillo getting shaken a bit more this round. HUGE left hook from Najera, then an amazing flurry and down goes Castillo! About eight punches landed before Castillo finally hit the mat. He’s up and Najera’s going for the KO. Najera loading up, and man, Castillo is able to connect with Najera more than he should be, probably.
HUMONGOUS knockdown on another combo, and the fight is stopped by the referee. Woof!
Ivan Najera TKO-2

Omotoso vs Rosas Round 1

Omotoso starting cautiously. I don’t know what it is in America but he’s just not the fighter he was in Australia so far. Rosas gets bored and swings a horrible overhand right from about 11 feet away. Rosas with a little flurry. Good right from Omotoso. Pretty shitty round.
Omotoso 10-9

Omotoso winning easily, but he should. Rosas has fought once in six years and sucks.

Omotoso vs Rosas Round 3

Rosas still hitting him too much. Omotoso not having any major problems, but jeez. This is a guy he should destroy by accident even if he’s trying to get rounds. Lucky Boy has turned it up a little bit. Body shots are getting in. Now Omotoso has hurt him. Good body shots.
Omotoso 10-9
Omotoso 30-27

Omotoso vs Rosas Round 4

I think Rosas’ corner thinks this is a four-round fight. That or they plan to quit after this one.
Omotoso imposing his will this round, really cracking him. Rosas is getting beaten up now. This has turned into an obscene mismatch, which it was on paper. Right hands and left hands and Rosas is getting pummeled near the bell.

Omotoso looks like a fun television fighter.

My Top Rank audio stream from their site is odd. I’m listening to it on stereo computer speakers, and the fights sounds, punching, and ref are coming our of my left channel exclusively, with the announcers coming solely out of the right speaker.

Seems mostly normal on headphones to me, but the mixing has seemed weird at various points. Music oddly goes up and down at times.

Omotoso vs Rosas Round 5

Well Rosas is coming out throwing punches. Apparently he’s gonna get knocked out or pull a rabbit out of his ass. HAAAHD right hand, says Col. Bob. Well Rosas is bringing the fight. Good for him! Just WINGING shots. I mean those are from beyond left field. Big right from Omotoso! God, Rosas is a hoot. Right hand Omotoso, and another. Omotoso swinging rights near the bell.

Omotoso vs Rosas Round 6

Right hand, left hook, Rosas hangs on again. Omotoso trying to end this thing. Right hand clips Rosas. Referee stops the fight. Might as well.

Martirosyan vs Lowry Round 1

Well it takes about 12 seconds for this to look embarrassing. Lowry’s getting killed. And 50 seconds in, Lowry goes down on a left hook to the body. This is an absolute piece of shit. Total garbage.
I can’t put into words how nauseating I find this fight. Lowry has no business in there. How long do they plan to protect Martirosyan? His record makes JCC Jr’s look like Ali’s.

Martirosyan vs Lowry Round 2

Lowry’s bloody, getting beaten up. Laurence Cole should just step in and get this the fuck over with the next time a clean shot knocks Lowry backwards. There is no point to this whatsoever.
How can Martirosyan take another step back after THIS? Is he gonna fight someone in their pro debut? Is he going to fight someone with a losing record? Does Yori Boy Campas still make 154?
Lowry takes a shot to the balls, I guess, and now he’s taking time. People are booing. They should be booing the fact that they paid money and this piece of crap fight was part of the card.
Martirosyan 20-17

yo scott
i’ve been meaning to ask you if you’ve seen Luck yet. i’ve heard mixed things about the pilot, and despite the great talent behind it (Milch, Hoffman, Michael Mann, dennis farina, nick nolte) i can’t bring myself to watch a show about horse racing (something i know nothing about)

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Martirosyan vs Lowry Round 3

Lowry goes down to a knee and Laurence Cole supposedly stops it, but no he doesn’t. Yeah, let him fight on, Laurence. Maybe you can get his brains mashed in.
For God’s sake, the guy clearly quits and Cole lets him get knocked down again before he stops it. Fuck this fight.

Hey Scott, do you think Hernandez vs. Cunningham today was a better fight than Kim vs. Rahimov last week?

Yes. Higher level of fighting and more momentum shifts.
