Jewel Scott is on a 2-fight win streak and is considered a big favorite going into his middleweight clash with Jesus Gaspar … but Jesus says he LOVES being underestimated.
Gaspar has lost his last 2 fights and looked sloppy in his last foul-riddled match against Mike “Slap Jesus” Smith. This is a must win for him.
Round 1
Gaspar wins the coin toss and elects to strike first. Can he deliver a clean shot? YES!
In fact, it’s Jewel who commits the first foul of the match for an illegal wind-up. Judges are instructed to deduct a point.
Round 2
2 legal strikes in a row for Jesus! The slap didn’t faze Jewel, but Gaspar has clearly been working on his technique and looks pretty good!
Scott, on the other hand, is struggling with his form. Once again, he’s called for a foul. This time, it’s a stepping violation. Which means he’ll need a KO in the 3rd to win.
Round 3
Jesus does it again! A 3rd clean strike — which means if he can eat Jewel’s final shot, he’ll get the victory.
Jewel digs deep and throws a bomb, but he’s called for a stepping foul. Since it’s his 3rd violation of the match, Scott is DQ’d and Jesus gets the victory.
After the win, Jesus gets in a heated screaming match with Rese Archer, who had been taunting him from the crowd. Archer tries to rush the stage to get to Jesus, but security rushes in and breaks it up.
Dana White heaped praise on Gaspar — saying the kid clearly has heart.
