Valdez v Servania

[Tanzio]

This is sure to be a war.

[Tanzio]

Round 1 = Valdez busy. Servania patient. Serv slips lhook in.

10-9 Valdez (doing all the work)

[Tanzio]

Rd 2 = Valdez doing all the work. Now serv does a bit. Hinestly serv looks poss juiced. Big lefts valdez.

20-18 Valdez (but he is doing all the work)

[gilgamesh]

Sergio Mora described Genesis Servania on Twitter as "A jittery version of Provodnikov"...I can kinda see it

[Tanzio]

Rd 3 = valdez throwing heavy bod. Serv lands finally. Good jabs val. Serv having a hard time getting off.

30-27 Valdez (Serv must be looking for Val to tire and slow)

[Tanzio]

Rd 4 = Val really sitting on bod shots. Val pounding serv like scalopini. Serv scores KD! Valdez in trouble. I knew this might be coming. I do suspect Serv is juiced. Reminds me of Nery

38-37 Valdez

[Tanzio]

Rd 5 = Val comes out firing hard. But nothing phases serv. Everything Serv lands is hurting Val. Nothing! Holy shit Val floors him. WAAAAAARR!! Holy sh!t.

48-45 Valdez

Great war here

[Tanzio]

Rd 6= here we go. Valdez is in danger from doing all the work. This is going to get interesting from here. Valdez jabbing hooking bod shots but serv just keeps coming forward. Serv comes on late!! Close round. Still think Val edged it.

58-54 Valdez

[gilgamesh]

57-55 Valdez

This is a wild fight!

[Tanzio]

Rd 7 = Valdez is in serious threat of getting beaten here if he doesn't start boxing more. He has outlanded huge but Serv is not fazed. Right serv.

68-63 Valdez (but it is much more precarious than that)

[diddy]

It feels like Valdez can get knocked out at any second. He needs to stay the hell away from this guy and use his jab. He's getting caught hard in exchanges.

Servania is a really nice fighter.

[Tanzio]

Rd 8 = Val throws combos. Moving. Serv is one big shot from turning this. Val just keeps firing. Nice left Serv. Val just way way busier.

78-72 Valdez (but the feeling is serv could end it with one shot if val makes a big mistake)

[Tanzio]

Rd 9 = serv lands good lhook. But val so much busier. Val boxing well here.

88-81 Valdez

[Tanzio]

It feels like Valdez can get knocked out at any second. He needs to stay the hell away from this guy and use his jab. He's getting caught hard in exchanges.

Servania is a really nice fighter.

Agree. Not busy enough though.

[Tanzio]

Rd 10 = serv trying to get busier. Close rd. Serv missing wild. Good right Val.

98-90 Valdez in shaky command.

[gilgamesh]

Valdez starting to get a bit of a comfortable lead on the cards now, but he's not out of the woods yet. Servania hurt him earlier so he's gonna have to be careful all the way to the end here because he knows this guy can hurt him.

96-92 Valdez

[Tanzio]

Rd 11 = big right val. Serv keeps coming. Serv simply not pushing enough. Val getting risky. Serv just missing.

108-99 Valdez needs to survive the 12th

[Tanzio]

Rd 12 = now Val decides to brawl! Val landing big that has no effect. Val flirting with disaster.

118-108 Valdez

Serv just did not do enough to win rounds. Very Provoglodyte like.

[Tanzio]

Valdez is a good little fighter but leaves himself too open for top level comp. He can improve though and he emptied the armory on Serv.

Servania is tough (almost suspiciously). He just does not grind line his skillset depends on. He needs to make it uglier.

[Tanzio]

Great show tonight. This is what boxing is all about. Really good stuff. Thank you ESPN

Can ESPN get their sheet together though? The channel changes were ridiculous.

True. I fell behind there.

[candyslim]

Not a bad fight at all and if the first third and the last third were anywhere close to being as good as the middle third, it would have been a classic.

[Boxing Prospect]

Valdez is going to have a very short prime :(

Absolutely. What a phenomenal war. Rounds 4 & 5 were Round of the Year candidates!!

Servania actually boosted his reputation despite the loss. What a phenomenal chin!!
