Did anyone see the last Gary Stark fight?

[vB Martin]

I finally got to see this rebroadcast on HDNet Fight Night. The home cooking was almost, perhaps even, as bad as The Battle of the Burtons. I had the fight 7-3 for Ledesma, as did Steve Farhood and Brian Adams.
Stark easily won the 1st, 2nd and 10th rounds, but got beat up so badly in every other round that the right side of his face looked like he'd been hit with a sledghammer. repeatedly.

Ledesma hit him with a short right in the 3rd that started a mouse under Starks's right eye, then targeted it with jabs and hooks the rest of the fight. Starks had a few flurries, but was being blocked or dodged on almost every single shot.

No effing way Starks won that fight.

I seen the fight the other night. I think the same thing Stark lost that fight, badly. At the very most he won 4 rounds, and got choped down the rest. His face looked as bas as anyones ive ever seen. He said he could see out of his eye but I dont believe it.

[vB Martin]

I gave him only 3 rounds, and only because Ledesma was just staying out of the way in the 10th. If Stark was any kind of man he would not have allowed the ref to raise his arm after that scoring.

I haven't seen the Ledesma fight in it's entirety so I can't offer a score really. What I can say is that I've been to a number of his fights and can see the difference in his fighting style from before the knockout loss and after. He isn't as confident in coming in and throwing punches like he used to be. He's hesitant and doesn't react to punches as well as he used to.

I saw him fight down here in FL recently against some .500 fighter Dela Cruz. Cruz almost KOed him in the first round. That wasn't good for his confidence.

Unless Ledesma is a fighter superior to his record, Stark has really hit a wall in his development. He's not a puncher, so it's hard for him to be successful in his aggressive style for long.
