Did ANYBODY else happen to see the 'little fellas' going at it good last night on HBO Latino?? Clarence Vinson (former Olympian) fought Cesar Morales (any relation to the 'terrible' one I have to wonder after watching him!!), both bantam wt's. I know the majority of you "scoff" at the smaller guys, and I personally dont usually get too 'pumped' over bantams, but honestly it was a great pre Mosley-Wright fight. Small or not, these 2 boy's had the baddest of intentions and I got the impression that they didnt much like each other eiter!
Regardless of how hard they hit, hitting is what they did, and in high volume. A very entertaining, competitive brawl. It almost reminded me of a 'mini' Gatti-Ward.....ALMOST!!
Laugh or not guys, I loved every minute of it, except for the 'too involved' ref. who appeared to be in Vinson's corner, so to speak. It was action packed, no hugging but plenty of slugging with a knock down on both sides. These scrappy little dudes put it all out there, and it was pretty awesome once I got past the fact that they were indeed only bantam wt's. Excellent matchmaking, and I'd definately clear my schedule for a rematch. AND, to top it off, the judges even got it right this time and gave the nod to Morales who didnt look so hot in the 1st rd. but came back swinging and kicking ass!
By the way, the main event wasnt half bad either...the whole 2 rd's of it. Jhonny Gonzalez-Gabriel Elizondo...yes, both bantams, slugged it out for the NABO title. If any of you get HBO Latino, I strongly recommend catching the replay!
