I thought some of the fights would be better, especially the Ortiz vs Mathysse fight.
Berto vs Upsher
This was a good fight because what makes every Berto fight good, his lack of defense. I love Berto's speed and combinations, what I don't like is how he just stares at his work after each one of them.
Berto would be twice the fighter if he moved his head and finished with defense after every combo. Instead, he stares at his handy work and gets hit in return because his head is right there to be hit. Upsher when he threw landed, but in the end he wasn't active enough to beat Berto.
I would like to see Berto against quite a few in the division because he is fun to watch, but for all the wrong reasons.
Mathysse vs Ortiz
As soon as I saw Benji Esteves I said to myself "Oh no, not this guy" and of course something happened. Ortiz was counted out at 8.5 seconds of the fight, why...I have no idea. He was hurt by a body shot, great shot as a matter of fact but why he stopped it I don't know.
I have also heard about the time clock, but that doesn't make a difference. What matters is what the ref is counting. Bad call by the ref and I think we would have seen a decent fight.
Broner vs Taylor
This fight was better than expected. I thought Taylor was fighting really well and both had some great inside fighting throughout the fight. Broner was obviously the harder puncher, but as Malignaggi said he fights in spurts which allowed Taylor to have some big come back rounds.
I think Broner's demise will be that he isn't busy enough throughout fights and he gets hit easier than I would like to see if I was working with him. He has good power, and when he moved his feet is when he's really at his best, he just doesn't do it enough. I don't know if it's conditioning, or what it is but his feet are the key and that could make him a much better fighter.
Mathysse vs Broner is interesting, and I think would make a great fight. If Broner moves and boxes, he beats Mathysse but I have a feeling somewhere in that fight he sits on the ropes or stops punching.
Have them recorded, will check them tonight. I saw the highlights of the Segura/Estrada fight, looked like he took a beating.
Yeah Estrada completely outclassed Segura. All three (Frampton,Estrada,Martinez) were impressive IMO.
Gonzalez/Yaegashi
Estrada/ Segura
Frampton/ Martinez

These were the real fights of the weekend. Yet to see Estrada/Segura, but man that final round of Gonzalez/Yaegashi was electric.
The reffing was definitely annoying but with ortiz waiting too long and spitting his mouthpiece sorta justified the stoppage...
I like watching berto esp when he's getting beat up on...reason why i dont like his bumass is coz of his hypocrisy accussing others of roiding then turned out hes the roidhead..
Broners ugly @ss is fun to watch too.....dont see him lasting longer at relevance really.....big egos with not much talent when koed always deserves a celebration...
Well I recorded the fight and I saw Esteves at 8 and Ortiz started getting up, he didn't even count to 9 when he waved him off.
He made the count, I'm not saying he was going to win, but I just hate to see poor referring like that.
watch the videos man, plz

It wasn't 8 and a half, it was 9 and a half.
Not a good stoppage, but that's the risk when you wait that long to stand.
Yup! Exactly why I don't feel bad for Ortiz. He's a d1ckhead!
So in one thread you said he was up at 8 and now you say he was counted out at 8.5? Which one is it? Or am I missing something? :lol1:
Either way, you're blind. Or need to go back to school to learn your counting.
Benji sucked but I don't think Ortiz wanted to fight anymore. He looked for a way out to me. He shoulda tried to get up earlier. I don't feel bad for the guy. Broner Taylor was better than expected and I really hope Mattysse and Broner fight next. Really wanna see that. Didn't watch the Berto fight. Went on a liquor store run during his scrap.
