Featherweight Fight
I’ll be honest, this fight bored me. Everytime Carceres seemed to put a couple strikes together it appeared that he backed off. Carceres even had a couple submission opportunities and it almost seemed like it wasn’t worth his time to put them in. Croom didn’t look in shape for this fight, but it didn’t matter. Carceres came out less beat up, so he got the win, but as far as entertainment value goes, not a great fight.
Rating: 3/10
Pedro Munhoz vs. Jimmy Rivera
Bantamweight Fight
This was a slugfest, which you don’t expect to see in this weight class. Rivera was trying to take Munhoz’s head off, and Munhoz was trying to take Rivera’s leg off. Rivera was connecting with a lot of good headshots, but the damage done to his leg was enough to make him back off a bit. Munhoz took advantage of having two good legs well, and he used his variety of options and put them to use in a rough and tumble fight. It seemed relatively close, but the injury to Rivera’s leg was too much for him to come back from. This fight was definitely worth the watch, and had everything but a knockout.
