What fight did you watch recently/last night

[1SILVA]

Eder Jofre - Jose Medal I

Eder Jofre - Jose Medal II

Carlos Monzon - Bennie Briscoe

The second Monzon-Briscoe fight had Monzon moving the entire fight like he was Ali or SRR. Monzon respected Briscoe more than any other fighter during his era, so much that he put on a masterful boxing display. Briscoe staggered Carlos once with a right, but Monzon weathered the storm and won a lopsided 15 round decision.

[NChristo]

Just got done watching Trinidad - Mayorga.

Mayorga fought the dumbest possible fight he could with letting Trinidad punch him at will and even sticking his chin out to Tito which he tee'd of off at will.

Entertaining fight though, props to Mayorga's pride and chin, he really took some murderous punches and combos before he finally fell.

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.

Segura vs Calderon, which is my new choice for FOTY. A sensational fight. Segura gave us the blueprint on how to beat such a fighter, as his hooks to the body completely wore Ivan down before putting him away. If Calderon doesn't retire, I'd like to see a rematch, but I'm not sure Calderon at his age can cope with such vigorous pressure. Segura is also my pick for Fighter of the Year
