I really enjoyed tonights card. I didnt watch Garcia-Perez really at all because i was cooking.
but Victor Ortiz looked "Vicious" as always. Hoefully Golden Boy promotes him well because this kids on his way. He was in with a bum but he did what you are supposed to do with a bum, plus it was a short notice fight. Good performance.
I hate Sergio Mora, i dunno why,i just do. So watching Forrest beat him down was awesome. I was at their first fight, why couldnt have been more like this one?lol. Much better than the first and much better performance by Forrest.
Then Marquez looked great. That was the best Casamayor ive seen in a whle and the most motivated. He was the fastest,sharpest, and most active ive seen him in a while. I had the fight pretty close, Casamayor was landing very well with counter lefts. Thr crowd just went wild everytime Marquez landed so it was misleading. I still had Marquez ahead though but it was close. Very close fight until Marquez ended it with a bang, he did what huge punchers like Castillo, Corrales, and Freitas couldnt do and at his first fight at 135. Very good performance by Marquez.
We got a new lightweight champ and his name is Juan Manuel Marquez!
Overall, i really enjoyed the card tonight.
I thought the SAME THING!..
I was wondering why it was taking him so long to get him outta there..he shoulda took him out after the first knockdown..guess he wanted more rounds to build experience tho..
Its called patience, not getting over anxious and/or wreckless. He knew he would get Arrieta out of there and he did. I was more impressed with the patience he showed at such a young age for a fighter.
Had Arrieta got up on unsteady legs and could barely move, Ortiz should have went for the kill right there but Arrieta was pretty clear headed. Had Ortiz gone for the kill against a clear headed opponent he could have gotten caught with something stupid. That is something you learn with experiecne. Thats why im impressed at the patience Ortiz showed.
He fought that fight exactly how he should have in my opinion.
wait a minute you loved the Mora vs forrest over the ortiz fight?
Mora vs forrest fight was horrendous in my opinion.
lol
This is one time where we agree. I thought both of them looked like shit.
i got to see the jmm-casa fight live on free TV, and it was the first time I was rooting for Juan Manuel...
going to the 11 imho he was leading at least 2 rounds and early part of the 11th then boom, that right...
very good showing for juanma and i am impressed!!
