    • Missed a lot of telecast recently due to the World cup but have been catching up the last few days..........


      McCloskey vs G. Lauri

      Round 1 McCloskey

      Lauri was taking the round but McCloskey
      outworked him down the stretch imo

      Round 2 McCloskey
      McCloskey maintaining distance and having more success,
      he also dug some solid hooks to the body

      Round 3 Lauri
      Lauri most consistent over the round imo

      Round 4 McCloskey

      McCloskey more active over this round, he landed
      the uppercut very effectively

      Round 5 McCloskey

      McCloskey picked the better shots this round imo,
      although it was a closer round

      Round 6 McCloskey

      Round 7 Lauri

      Lauri landed a number of short chopping
      shots on the inside, more active

      Round 8 Lauri

      McCloskey got cut this round, he was taking some solid
      shot from Lauri on the inside, Lauri looked the boss
      this round

      Round 9 McCloskey (close)

      McCloskey got more separation this round and picked
      some smart counters, the right hook, and the uppercut

      Round 10 Lauri 10/8
      McCloskey had a point taken for leaning in with his
      head

      Round 11 Lauri starting hitting McCloskey whilst they
      were in a clinch, it seemed to anger McCloskey who stepped in
      after the ref broke them and knocked him out with a
      hook

      Dont know why McCloskey languished on the inside so much,
      he could of made this fight much easier had he maintained
      and dictated distance, kept some separation, he did
      show he could fight inside, although he did get hit with a
      lot of these short choppy hook right hands inside.

      Fight Night Club - 6-24-2010

      Jamie Kavanagh vs Luis Sanchez

      Round 1 Kavanagh
      Round 2 Kavanagh
      Round 3 Kavanagh
      Round 4 Kavanagh

      Kavanagh is a patient aggressive fighter who uses
      lots of upperbodymovement, might be a bit open
      to right hands but he looked a decent prospect without
      being exceptional, he can also move and use his legs,
      kinda reminds me of Frankie Gavin the way he
      uses his legs.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Jesse Vargas vs Ernesto Zavala

      Round 1 Vargas 10/8
      Round 2Vargas
      Round 3Vargas
      Round 4 Zavala
      Round 5 Zavala
      Round 6 Vargas pins Zavala on the ropes and
      forces the stoppage

      Jesse Vargas is probably a better prospect than he
      looked, he seem to do too much laying inside
      giving up his range falling inside because he scored
      a KD so early in the fight, he likes fighting in-tight, its worth pointing out
      that he did seem to be blowing a bit in the fight, Zavala did
      land some solid body shots on him, he does have a
      nice in-close uppercut

      -----------------------------------------------------------

      Gary Russell Jr vs Rodrigo Aranda

      Round 1 Russell Jr
      Round 2 Russell Jr drops him with a body shot
      and the ref calls it off

      Excellent prospect, very nice use of the jab that he
      uses consistently to dictate and control distance, very
      quick to, however i already knew that having seen
      him in the U.S boxoffs

      ---------------------------------------------------------------

      Frankie Gomez vs Jaimie Orrantia

      Round 1Gomez
      Round 2 ref waved it off a bit too quick imo, hard
      to tell how good Gomez is as we did not get to see
      enough of him, although he is a highly touted prospect
      who is a decorated amateur


      ------------------------------------------------------

      Roberto Reyes vs Clint Coronel

      Round 1 Roberto Reyes
      Round 2 fight stopped on an accidental head butt

      Roberto Reyes is a long range Boxer, bout all i could say


      ----------------------------------------------------------

      ESPN Friday Night Fights

      Jerson Ravelo vs Maxim Vlasov


      Round 1 Maxim Vlasov
      Round 2 Maxim Vlasov
      Round 3 brutal big right hand that dropped
      Ravelo on his face.

      Jerson Ravelo fights scared, goes back on the line,
      which leaves him open to right hands, he also has a
      tendency to move one way, to the left. Maxim Vlasov
      a bit wreckless, a bit overly aggressive

      ------------------------------------------------------

      Jonte Willis vs Leo Bercier


      Round 1 Jonte Willis
      Round 2 Jonte Willis
      Round 3 Jonte Willis 10/8
      Round 4 Jonte Willis

      Jonte Willis tries to look slick like Toney but he just looks sloppy,
      he throws arms punches that seem to lack power, he did land
      some classy counter uppercuts but he is not smart fighting the
      style he tries to employ, although he seems to think he is

      .-------------------------------------------------------------

      Jhon Berrio vs Sherzod Husanov

      Round 1 Husanov
      Round 2 Husanov
      Round 3 Jhon Berrio
      Round 4 Jhon Berrio
      Round 5 Jhon Berrio (either way)
      Round 6 Jhon Berrio (Husanov landed better punches but inactive)
      Round 7 Husanov
      Round 8 Husanov
      Round 9 Husanov
      Round 10 Husanov

      Poor fight technically, lots of scrappy exchanges, Husanov completely switched
      off after round 2, although he came alive in again in the second half of the fight, not
      a particularly impressive prospect, i was asking myself, where on earth is the jab?
      I might have been kind to Berrio in a couple of rounds, he was throwing a lot but
      not all of it was landing, that said, Husanov, whilst landing the cleaner punches, was
      far too inactive in some of those rounds.

      • Vitali vs Albert Sosnowski

        Round 1 Vitali

        Not much in the round but Vitali did land a couple
        of jabs, a left hook, and a body shot, could of been
        scored even tbh

        Round 2 Vitali

        Not much in this either, although Vitali landed
        a couple of looping right hands, a couple of left hooks,
        Albert Sosnowski moving but not landing much, if
        anything

        Round 3 Albert Sosnowski (kind)

        Prolly did not win it but there was nothing in the first
        two rounds, plus, Albert Sosnowski did get
        threw for the first time

        Round 4 Vitali
        Not much in it, Vitali landed with the jab, also with
        his left hook and his looping right hook/hand

        Round 5 Vitali
        Another boring round, Vitali seemed to momentarily
        hurt Albert Sosnowski with a left hook early in the
        round, he also landed a right hook to the body

        Round 6 Vitali
        Vitali landed an early right hand left hand combo
        that seem to slightly hurt Albert Sosnowski, he then
        landed some right hooks down the stretch of the round

        Round 7 Vitali

        Albert Sosnowski was more spirited mid round
        as he began to take it to Vitali, however Vitali
        was landing solid right hand/hooks toward the
        end of the round

        Round 8 Vitali
        Couple of hard rights by Vitali, Albert Sosnowski
        managed to land his own right mid round, however
        he walked into another right later in the round

        Round 9 Vitali

        VK using his jab to maintain distance, which is starting
        to set up his right hands, a few right hands backed
        Albert Sosnowski up

        Round 10 Vital comes out landing the right hand
        stalking Albert Sosnowski around the ring, he
        managed to land another telling right that hurt
        Albert Sosnowski, Sosnowski seemed tired
        all of a sudden in this round, Wlad hurt him, then put
        him down with a big right hand.

        Vitali looked slow and his accuracy was awful, i
        thought his fight against Gomez was a poor showing
        because he was made to come foward, which he is not
        as effective doing, however having seen the Johnson fight
        , now this, im starting to wonder how much he does have
        left, although he did, inbetween those fights, look
        good against Arreola, this was a poor fight though,
        technically and excitement wise, very boring.

        Albert Sosnowski circled the ring for the most part,
        landing the odd jab that the crowd came alive to, but for the most part he was
        on a survival mission trying to dart in and out with
        the odd feeble jab to the belly or head.

        Romero vs Mayol 2

        Round 1 Mayol

        Hard to split them imo

        Round 2 Even

        Mayol had a point taken at the start of the round
        not sure what for, however he won the round imo
        so i scored it even, he landed a few body shots and
        got his left home a couple of times

        Round 3 Mayol
        Mayol scoring well with the jab this round, still not
        much action though

        Round 4 Mayol
        Mayol controlling distance with the jab and dictating
        the tempo of the fight, he also got to Nino's body at
        one point and landed a left hook later in the round
        Nino only landed a right, although it was a good clean
        shot

        Round 5 Nino 10/8

        Mayol had another point taken for an accidental head
        butt

        Round 6 Mayol
        Mayol more aggressive this round landed right hands
        lefts early and landing his left uppercut on Nino toward
        the end

        Round 7 Mayol
        Mayol landed on Nino when he backed him up near
        the ropes

        Round 8 Nino
        Nino got more aggressive this round and landed
        some solid left hook right hands on Mayol, he also
        got to Mayol's body a bit

        Round 9 Nino

        Nino landed an early right hand on Mayol, later in the
        round he landed a couple of left hooks

        Round 10 Nino (either way)

        Not much in this round to choose from imo, although
        Nino did some body work mid round

        Round 11 Nino

        Nino scored with the jab, scored an inside right
        hand when he was near the ropes, Mayol came
        back a bit down the stretch but Nino landed on him
        again before the bell

        Round 12 Mayol
        I liked Mayol's activity and aggression this round


        I felt the official scores were wildly inaccurate, this fight was closer
        than those scores suggested, infact there was little to choose from
        in a lot of the rounds. The ref seemed to be on Mayol's case imo, twice
        he tooks points from him for what seemed accidental clashes of heads, the
        broadcast was in Mexican so i could understand what was being said, however
        they seemed to be using open scoring, i thought that effected the way Mayol fought
        the second part of the fight, the open scoring seemed to suggest Nino was infront
        as the crowed cheered when i heard his name mentioned during the open scoring
        after that Mayol stopped trying to Box from range and tried to put more pressure on
        thus giving Nino a better shot at countering him when he came in.

        Chavez jr vs John Duddy

        Round 1 Chavez jr
        Chavez jr using the right and landed the lead left
        hook on Duddy, he aslo sneaked a few right hands
        on Duddy

        Round 2 Duddy

        Duddy got closer to Chavez this round and put
        more pressure on, Chavez also landed some solid
        shots but he was too inactive to take the round

        Round 3 Chavez jr (close)

        Chavez jr became more aggressive this round
        but i felt Duddy was landing the better punches
        inclose, although Chavez jr came back and stole
        the round imo, he closed better

        Round 4 Chavez jr

        Chavez jr laid inside this round and took it to
        Duddy, he landed some pretty hard shots on Duddy
        this round

        Round 5 Chavez jr

        Both guys going toe to toe, both landed shots on each
        other, but Chavez jr is landed with the hard significant
        shots

        Round 6 Duddy(tough to score)

        They stood toe to toe but Duddy dipped Chavez jr
        he was not to hurt but he was hurt, Chavez jr landed
        some pretty solid shots himself but i gave this to
        Duddy

        Round 7 Chavez jr

        Clear Chavez jr round he backed Duddy up and
        landed some big left hooks, he also landed his
        overhand rights

        Round 8 Chavez jr

        Chavez jr backing Duddy up and landing some
        huge shots

        Round 9 Chavez jr
        Huge round for Chavez jr, he hurt Duddy early
        then tried to walk threw him, he landed consistently
        hard on Chavez jr


        Round 10 Chavez jr

        Chavez jr hurt Duddy again this round, had him going
        backwards and kept landing hard punches, i thought
        Duddy might of got stopped this round

        Round 11 Chavez jr

        Chavez jr walking Duddy down this round he looked
        as though he was gonna stop Duddy this round,
        Duddy took some massive punches

        Round 12

        Chavez controlled the fight for the most part when he backed Duddy up,
        Duddy cant fight on the backfoot, Chavez started to walk through him down
        the stretch, he did however get hurt in round 6, Duddy rocked him with a left hook
        i think it was, he was not badly hurt though, Chavez caught punches a bit better
        although he still got hit a bit, he did something which was effective against Duddy
        that was to get off the shoulder and throw his right hand left hooks, that worked a treat
        he hardly ever missed Duddy when he did this.

        Comment


        • Ivan Calderon vs Iribe

          Round 1 Calderon

          Calderon landed a couple of straight lefts

          Round 2 Iribe 10/8

          Calderon looked to be taking it on the
          straight lefts, but he got decked by
          Iribe's right hand

          Round 3 Calderon

          Not much landed this round, although
          Calderon dictated the pace and landed
          a nice straight left, clean

          Round 4 Calderon
          Round 5 Calderon
          Round 6 Calderon
          Round 7 Calderon
          Round 8 Calderon
          Round 9 Calderon
          Round 10 Calderon
          Round 11 Calderon
          Round 12 Calderon


          One sided fight, good performance but Calderon did too much moving
          and not enough sticking imo, when he did stick he looked extremely
          impressive, particularly with his quick fire combos and speed, i just
          wish he would stick more, there is a bit of the sweet pea about Calderon's
          ability to slip punches in close proximity to his opponents.

          Way to get to Calderon imo would be to use the jab and hunt the body.

          -------------------------------------------------------

          Cunningham vs Troy Ross

          Round 1 Cunningham(either way)

          Not much in the round, thought
          Cunningham dictated the pace a bit more
          and landed a short punch inside

          Round 2 Cunningham( either way)

          Again not much in this round, Cunningham
          dictated whilst Ross moved around and looked
          for counters, only Cunningham is not giving him
          much as he pressures behind the stick and
          maintains distance

          Round 3 Ross (close)

          Ross scored a nice straight left hand as
          he leaped on on Cunningham, he is bullrushing
          in at times but not being all that effective

          Round 4 Ross 10/8

          Ross dropped Cunningham with a straight left hand

          Round 5 fight stopped on a cut, the cut was caused
          by a cut, Ross got accidentally thumbed in the eye
          so the ref consulted the doctor and said it needs to be
          stopped, looked as though Ross would of made this
          an interesting fight.

          The fight itself was like a posturing contest at times, Ross would
          run around looking to counter Cunningham who was maintaining
          distance so he could use his jab to control the tempo of the fight, not much action
          in terms of punches landed, although it started to warm up just before it was
          stopped, shame really.


          -----------------------------------------

          Carlos Tamara vs Luis Lasarte

          Round 1 Lasarte

          Lasarte landed numerous right hand left hooks
          over the top, his squat style of coming in low seems
          to be what caused the cut on Tamara's head

          Round 2 Tamara

          Tamara backing him and getting the jab on him this
          round, he cant handle Tamara when he is backed up

          Round 3 Tamara

          Not much landed but i felt he dictated the pace of the
          round with his jab

          Round 4 Lasarte

          Lasarte landed two early body shots and toward
          the end was landing with his wild **** over the top
          he caught Tamara with a clean left right before the bel
          ended the round, Tamara dictated the pace but did
          not land much imo

          Round 5 Lasarte(close)

          Lasarte took this round, which was a closish round
          on the fact that he nailed Tamara toward the end
          and closed better, i was thinking about giving it to
          Tamara before he came on, Tamara was more aggressive
          this round but still took some shots himself


          Round 6 Tamara

          Not much in this round but i just felt Tamara dictated
          the pace of the round, hardly anything seem to land

          Round 7 Lasarte (either way)

          Really tough round to score, Lasarte landing the
          harder punches but Tamara seemingly landing more,
          excellent back and fourth round where Tamara decided
          to **** it out inside

          Round 8 Lasarte

          Another good round to an excellent fight, Lasarte
          got inside Tamara and worked him over at times
          to the head and body, he clearly landed the more
          signficant punches this round imo

          Round 9 Tamara

          Tamara seemed like he was told to take it back
          to long range this round, he dictated the pace of
          the round with the jab, landed an early right hand,
          Lasarte came on a bit late, but Tamara also landed
          a decent inside uppercut, Lasarte did'nt do enough
          and tried to steal it imo

          Round 10 Lasarte

          Tamara being aggressive early and really letting his
          hands go, although down the stretch Lasarte came back
          and took the round from him by landing harder cleaner
          work, he closed well

          Round 11 Lasarte

          Lasarte came out and got on Tamara's chest letting
          his hands go, Tamara came back a little mid round
          but Lasarte came back and closed it out, great fight.

          Round 12 Lasarte



          Lasarte definitely deserved the win imo, although it
          was a very competitive fight, easily a candidate for
          FOTY imo. Tamara could'nt seem to get out of the way of
          Lasarte's looping shots, he (Lasarte) would bullrush Tamara at times
          and because Tamara has a habbit of going straight back, it made
          it easier to land those shots, Lasarte showed excellent physical
          strength inside as he seemed to me to be the stronger of the two, he
          landed some solid body shots when he pinned Tamara on the ropes
          Tamara tried to kept it long in round 2/3 but even in those rounds
          he found Lasarte hard to hit as he would either block Tamara's jabs
          or move his head, even when Tamara went inside with him and
          ****** it out the shorter armed Lasarte got the best of it landing the
          harder shots, Lasarte did not seem as comfortable when back up however



          Tamara stands too upright and goes back in a straight line, which against
          these short fighters who rush in is a big flaw, he can fight inside, has nice
          balance, good stick, can hook off the jab, has loads of stamina.

                    McCloskey vs G. Lauri

                    Round 1 McCloskey

                    Lauri was taking the round but McCloskey
                    outworked him down the stretch imo

                    Round 2 McCloskey
                    McCloskey maintaining distance and having more success,
                    he also dug some solid hooks to the body

                    Round 3 Lauri
                    Lauri most consistent over the round imo

                    Round 4 McCloskey

                    McCloskey more active over this round, he landed
                    the uppercut very effectively

                    Round 5 McCloskey

                    McCloskey picked the better shots this round imo,
                    although it was a closer round

                    Round 6 McCloskey

                    Round 7 Lauri

                    Lauri landed a number of short chopping
                    shots on the inside, more active

                    Round 8 Lauri

                    McCloskey got cut this round, he was taking some solid
                    shot from Lauri on the inside, Lauri looked the boss
                    this round

                    Round 9 McCloskey (close)

                    McCloskey got more separation this round and picked
                    some smart counters, the right hook, and the uppercut

                    Round 10 Lauri 10/8
                    McCloskey had a point taken for leaning in with his
                    head

                    Round 11 Lauri starting hitting McCloskey whilst they
                    were in a clinch, it seemed to anger McCloskey who stepped in
                    after the ref broke them and knocked him out with a
                    hook

                    Dont know why McCloskey languished on the inside so much,
                    he could of made this fight much easier had he maintained
                    and dictated distance, kept some separation, he did
                    show he could fight inside, although he did get hit with a
                    lot of these short choppy hook right hands inside.

                    Round 3 Kavanagh
                    Round 4 Kavanagh

                    Kavanagh is a patient aggressive fighter who uses
                    lots of upperbodymovement, might be a bit open
                    to right hands but he looked a decent prospect without
                    being exceptional, he can also move and use his legs,
                    kinda reminds me of Frankie Gavin the way he
                    uses his legs.

                    Round 6 Vargas pins Zavala on the ropes and
                    forces the stoppage

                    Jesse Vargas is probably a better prospect than he
                    looked, he seem to do too much laying inside
                    giving up his range falling inside because he scored
                    a KD so early in the fight, he likes fighting in-tight, its worth pointing out
                    that he did seem to be blowing a bit in the fight, Zavala did
                    land some solid body shots on him, he does have a
                    nice in-close uppercut

                    Round 2 Russell Jr drops him with a body shot
                    and the ref calls it off

                    Excellent prospect, very nice use of the jab that he
                    uses consistently to dictate and control distance, very
                    quick to, however i already knew that having seen
                    him in the U.S boxoffs

                    Round 1Gomez
                    Round 2 ref waved it off a bit too quick imo, hard
                    to tell how good Gomez is as we did not get to see
                    enough of him, although he is a highly touted prospect
                    who is a decorated amateur

                    Round 2 Maxim Vlasov
                    Round 3 brutal big right hand that dropped
                    Ravelo on his face.

                    Jerson Ravelo fights scared, goes back on the line,
                    which leaves him open to right hands, he also has a
                    tendency to move one way, to the left. Maxim Vlasov
                    a bit wreckless, a bit overly aggressive

                    Round 3 Jonte Willis 10/8
                    Round 4 Jonte Willis

                    Jonte Willis tries to look slick like Toney but he just looks sloppy,
                    he throws arms punches that seem to lack power, he did land
                    some classy counter uppercuts but he is not smart fighting the
                    style he tries to employ, although he seems to think he is

                    Jhon Berrio vs Sherzod Husanov

                    Round 4 Jhon Berrio
                    Round 5 Jhon Berrio (either way)
                    Round 6 Jhon Berrio (Husanov landed better punches but inactive)
                    Round 7 Husanov
                    Round 8 Husanov
                    Round 9 Husanov
                    Round 10 Husanov

                    Poor fight technically, lots of scrappy exchanges, Husanov completely switched
                    off after round 2, although he came alive in again in the second half of the fight, not
                    a particularly impressive prospect, i was asking myself, where on earth is the jab?
                    I might have been kind to Berrio in a couple of rounds, he was throwing a lot but
                    not all of it was landing, that said, Husanov, whilst landing the cleaner punches, was
                    far too inactive in some of those rounds.
                    Just watched Ken Norton's 15 round split decision over Jimmy Young from 1977. I feel that this was a horrible decision. I gave Young the first 3 rounds, Norton 5 of the next 6, Young swept rounds 10-14, and a desperate Norton won round 15, making my scorecard 144-141 in favor of Young. It was a very good, technical fight. Young used his jab effectively for the first three rounds, and backed up Norton with an occasional right cross. From rounds 3-9, Norton landed several combinations to Young's body, and had him seriously hurt in the 5th. From rounds 10-14, Norton abandoned his body attack, which worked in Young's favor as he thoroughly outboxed and outpunched Norton in those rounds. Howard Cosell did a tremendous job in calling the fight, even bringing in the back story that although a WBC eliminator, Ali was steadfast in his refusal to fight the winner. Ali instead fought Spinks, lost his title, and Spinks was stripped of his WBC belt for refusing to fight Norton. Norton was awarded the WBC belt for having defeated Young. I would love to see how Dynamite scored this fight.

                      some classy counter uppercuts but he is not smart fighting the
                      style he tries to employ, although he seems to think he is

                      Round 4 Jhon Berrio
                      Round 5 Jhon Berrio (either way)
                      Round 6 Jhon Berrio (Husanov landed better punches but inactive)
                      Round 7 Husanov
                      Round 8 Husanov
                      Round 9 Husanov
                      Round 10 Husanov

                      Poor fight technically, lots of scrappy exchanges, Husanov completely switched
                      off after round 2, although he came alive in again in the second half of the fight, not
                      a particularly impressive prospect, i was asking myself, where on earth is the jab?
                      I might have been kind to Berrio in a couple of rounds, he was throwing a lot but
                      not all of it was landing, that said, Husanov, whilst landing the cleaner punches, was
                      far too inactive in some of those rounds.
                      Prince Charles Williams vs Bobby Czyz-October, 1987.

                      The first three rounds saw Czyz give the Prince a hellacious beating. Towards the end of the 2nd round, Czyz dropped him with a double right hand. Williams barely got up and wobbled to his corner. At the beginning of the 3rd, Czyz again dropped Williams with another ferocious right. After Williams got up, Czyz hit him with everything but the kitchen sink. Referee Carlos Padilla allowed Williams time to recover. Czyz punched himself out, and by the end of the round, it was Williams who was landing with some right uppercut bombs. The fight made a complete turnaround from that point forward. From rounds 4-9, Williams punished Czyz with hammer like left jabs and stifling uppercuts. It was amazing how this fight turned out considering Williams was all but dead in the 3rd. At the end of the 9th, Czyz's face looked like he had been hit with a baseball bat 50 times. Czyz retired in his stool before the beginning of the 10th. A great war!!!!!!!
