Xander Zayas vs Patrick Teixeira - ESPN+ - Fight By Fight Thread

[edpboxing]

Not sure what the plan is for Tiger. He seems to be stagnating a bit, though obviously skilled imo. Olympian match up against Planco would be big test which I want to see, but I doubt they go that direction

UFC fight is the 3rd of 5 rounds so there is likely to be bit of a delay for the ESPN broadcast

De Gracia maybe a tougher fight than Vivas for Carrington, we will see

[MulaKO]

79-73, 78-74 and 77-75 UD for Tiger Johnson, continues to show skills but not maximizing the ability, needs another fight at similar level next, somebody like Kent Cruz would be a good opponent, maybe Branden Pizarro

Tiger should listen to his corner more
But I do agree he needs tougher opposition to actually try to maximize his skills

Terrible stoppage in the UFC fight so no big delay beside post fight interview

[Southpawology]

UFC stoppage in 4th, telecast should be switching over soon now

[low blows]

I thought it was Teh-share-ah. Can never tell with Portuguese.

He shares the same last name as the former Yankees first baseman and that is how he pronounced it but maybe he anglicized the pronouncement.

Carrington is decent, but that nickname... C'mon.

[Joseph]

I think this is gonna be a fun scrap!

[BigZ44]

I foresee a brutal KO of De Gracia coming in a few rounds

[BigZ44]

De Gracia has shown me enough so far that I really like him as a gatekeeper at this level and hope to see him on more televised cards going forward
