First of all... Brian Pinto has some freaking balls... seems like one of those guys who is too stubborn for his own good, the type who could get hit with a sledge hammer and keep swinging... i expect no less from a former PIAA football player!
Secondly, WHAT A FIGHT! played out exactly as i expected... although i wasnt certain either fighter would go down. i felt a lot of people were underestimating Martinez, for he surely was game. I was ok with obviously two of the three cards... i could have seen it going as wide as 116-112 at most, but that could have been in either favor... any score within that range for either fighter would have been understandable IMO
I hope both fighters' fan bases grew last night as well... it was a stellar performance, one of the best 12 round non title fights i've seen in a loooong time
thirdly, arreola is getting worse and worse it seems... i understand pinto was game and had a hella chin, but pinto was in that fight a great deal more than he should have been, especially given the size disparity... arreola was taking some shots he shouldnt have... i really cannot see him being a legitimate champion... maybe put him against haye to see who is the better tier II HW champ....
and another great night by kellerman... he called the bull**** for what it was and did a nice little piece on the highlights of the year... say what you want about max, but he loves his boxing and wants to see it done right!
oh, and lastly.... i really wish they would have broadcast the Quintana vs Feliciano fight.... i heard it was good and those guys both bring it, imagine how much better the card would have been to have that on the air
it seems these lesser cards almost always end up as entertaining or more than the big hype ones!
