Official: GBP on ESPN2- Antonio Orozco VS Keandre Gibson RBR Thread

Really? Different strokes I guess. I kinda enjoyed the chemistry of the 3 man team (like BH is usually part of on HBO). Both BH & TA have a lot of insight to bring in. But I see your point, maybe its better with just 1 of them. Side note. What happened to Joe Tessitore, anybody heard? Nothing against Bernard Osuna, but JT and Teddy kinda were a good combo, IMO (as were Teddy and Bob Papa back in The Day). :) I have no problem with 3 men in the booth but the 3rd voice has to be different for example 3rd man in HBO is max you get different type of feedback and perspective from max a reporter then Hopkins a fighter. Same with showtime Paulie is differ then Bernstein. It would be like if HBO had Roy and Hopkins at the same time which would be redundant. But hey it was only 1 card maybe teddy and Hopkins just need time to gell. I just felt like they were stepping on each others toes.

Where was Teddy? No clue but I enjoyed the broadcast better without him. Teddy and Hopkins don't mix well IMO. They seem redundant. Rather either Hopkins or teddy not both.

Turned on ESPN2 thinking maybe I'd catch the end of the main event, instead it's the middle of the Gesta fight and I'm like WTF. Then came here and found out the truth. I guess Orozco should go for that title shot. Without seeing how he did tonight, I don't think he has a chance against Crawford, but it's not like there's a bunch of better options at 140 and really nowhere else for Orozco to go. If he gets dominated by Crawford, it probably doesn't really change his stock, so it's a bit of a no-lose in a way. Can't think of any other natural, big fights for him, so might as well challenge the big dog and see what comes out of it. On second thought, I'd kinda like to see Orozco take on Imam. The winner of that could then have a legit claim to be the mandatory for Crawford. That's what they should do instead of just giving imam mando again. But if he's with golden boy he won't be fighting Crawford lol

Anybody who missed it...the main event orozco vs gibson about to start on ESPN2 now

They tape delayed the fight on ESPN2 at 11pm to avoid final 4. Aired live ESPN deportes and live on ESPN3. Good fights Ah crap i didnt know that im here watching matrix

Dammit to thought the fight was at 11 So did I. Here I was thinking how cool it is that I get to watch NCAA basketball and then some live boxing afterwards. :(

Orozco made him quit

Gibson another hype job that will retire after his 1st loss

That was a Walters-esque, "Can I go home now?" kind of quit. Shameful... Yeah and he was talking so much shyt before the fight. Totally looking past Orozco very disrespectful and to fold like that. SMH

Gibson is a B*tch! all that talent but no heart! Gibson looks the part has the size physique. The speed but no heart. When the fight got rough he wanted out. Orozco made the bytch come out.

Yea, I mean, congrats to him on the victory and all. He earned it. But, I the the story of the fight was more about what Gibson was doing wrong rather than anything really impressive from Orozco. I disagree orozco made the kid quit with pressure and body work took his heart.

Great performance by orozco. Looks like making weight isn't a issue any more. And showed a lot skills particularly his defense, array of punching and clearly the body work that broke Gibson down and made him quit. He's ready for the title shot

Orozco won. But I did not see anything special about him. Yea, I mean, congrats to him on the victory and all. He earned it. But, I the the story of the fight was more about what Gibson was doing wrong rather than anything really impressive from Orozco.

Easy Work BABY! Gibson is a B*tch! all that talent but no heart!

Broke this kids will to the body then got dropped and wanted no more. Quitter. Man and he was talking so much smack looking past orozco talking about fighting Crawford LMAO
