Thoughts On Last Nights Card...

[-MAKAVELLI-]

...so i was planning on just streaming it but i'm a sucker...i called up a couple of buddies, got some beer, ordered pizza and ordered the $60 ppv



overall it wasn't a bad card...but probably the best thing that could have happened was someone tripping over HBO's power cord and us being able to see some of the undercard bouts;


Frankie Gomez- this is the 2nd time i've seen the kid and he's got some star potential...granted, he's young and being fed tomato cans, you can see that he's ready to explode at any time in a fight...i'd like to see this steady diet of journeymen as he polishes his game and maybe by the end of next year, have him take a slight step up



here's a little tidbit, since they both beat up on Ronnie Peterson, it got me to thinking; if brought along, groomed and marketed properly how about a showdown with Benavidez in a couple of years? could be dynamite between those two




Sakio Bika vs Mendy: poor Mendy...he look like he got hit by a baseball bat...i agree with the call...he was clearly down and Bika gave him a nasty cheapshot...unlike Dirrell, Mendy was REALLY hurt...the way he was trying JUST TO GET ON that stool showed the level of his wooziness


too bad, HBO cut right back to their telecast...i would have liked to see more replays of that foul



onto the actual card....


Linares vs Juarez: i dont know about you guys but seeing Rocky on ppvs just pisses me off nowadays...we already know that he's gonna throw 3 punches a round then try to rally in the end...in between, we'll hear his corner pleading with him to get more busy


Linares is highly skilled...great handspeed and IMO he has a brilliant jab...fast, accurate, busy, consistent...he also has tremendous footwork...but maybe too good for my liking..i understand Rocky still has 1-punch power that could end a fight but there really wasn't much need for him to run around THAT much...i like Linares...good boxer, but i dont see much charisma




Guerrero vs Casamayor- after 4 rounds, me and my buds decided that this was the fight to smoke a couple more bowls, recharge and have a cigarette break to. what a ****ty ass fight...really...im glad Lacy is doing well now but im tired of hearing about her story while her husband puts on another lackluster performance...i'm sure the Guerreros are nice people but along with Casamayor, lets all pray that last night was the last time we see them on a ppv. That fight was the textbook definition of a glorified sparring session...the highlight was Guerrero getting put on his ass by a jab...yawn


and now my favorite fight of the night


Pirog vs Jacobs: DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN...there is a new player at 160 and its a 'slick russian'

i dont think i've ever seen someone from that part of the globe move like that...he had Jacobs befuddled from the beginning...the dude was using a shoulder roll as a shield to get inside and ****...this guy was VERY entertaining...and that last shot...WOW...that came from a double feint ending with a right that Jacobs had no clue was coming...once it landed, Jacobs folded like a lawnchair


out of the entire card, the one fighter i NEED to see again is Pirog



onto the main event



Marquez-Diaz: it was good to see Juan Diaz get his ass picked apart...he tried to box JMM like an idiot and got dissected...JMM saw every adjustment Diaz made and adapted...it was a solid display of boxing fundamentals by JMM and it got the job done...it was more workmanlike than spectacular but like Casamayor, i hope last night was enough and that's the last time we see Diaz


i'd like JMM to go on and take an Amir Khan fight next...if he wins, it would add even more luster back to his name and maybe...just maybe we can get that 3rd fight with PAC




after PAC dispatches Margarito, it would be nice for PAC and JMM to fight at 147, to end both of their careers in 2011



overall, the card wasn't worth the tag but i was feening for some boxing and it did the job...let's all hope GBP puts Pirog on their next ppv

damn i wish i wasnt so lazy today.

or i would consider reading that novel.

only fight i watched was the Jacobs vs Pirog fight.

but thanks for the summary p4p

[Southpaw Great]

Dissapointing, and it should never have been on PPV.

Bika got a raw deal from what I saw. He was in punch throwing motion and the guy was still on his feet.

Fair punch imo.

Linares reminds me of a young JMM with the perfection of his technique and punch variety.

I disagree about lack of charisma. Skills like those ARE THE CHARISMA.

I was sad to see a legend like Casa get used as a stepping stone for a loser like Guerrero.

Rocky Juarez should never be allowed on tv again.

And as sad as this sounds, I know JMM won most rounds and dominated, but he looked done to me. He's way too small for Khan and I think that fight is suicide for him. Him fighting Pac in 2011 is rich Mak, he'll be damn near 40 by then, which I guess is what Pac and his tard followers always wanted to wait for.

agreed, reminded me a lot of JMM and Finito coming up... just bigger

i dont like Casa, but i really dont like Guerrero... ***** should have finished it

JMM is sadly done, and i'd hate to see him fight above 135 again

you wanna know how charismatic a young JMM was? yea...think about that for a minute


and yes, JMM is done...and i want him to be even older by the time PAC puts him on a stretcher...couldn't beat PAC in his prime and retired by PAC for not learning to shut his mouth

the **** i have now, just being double bagged, is stinking up my entire basement!

I knew Casa/Ghost was going to be a snoozefest. I never understood why everyone was hyped about that fight. I would have been pleased with the Pirog fight if I ordered it at least.
