Thoughts On Last Nights Fights

[IronDanHamza]

and I would have won $305 on that fight. I put $20 on Lara by decision at +1005 odds and $30 on him to win straight up at +350.

I put 40 Pounds on Lara on points bro. That's $65.

Still getting over it now.

It was interesting to see Roy really try to hold his anger back over the Williams' decision.

And prior to the fight ending, you can sense how worried he was with the punishment Paul was taking. Even I was getting worried, when I heard how concerned RJJ sounded. I'm sure Bob and Max had in the back of their minds what we were all thinking. This is how you've made us feel for years now, Roy.

HBO should really take more advantage with the boxing knowledge RJJ can provide them. They can make videos in the build up of a fight, similar to what Atlas does for ESPN, where he shows the techniques that each fighter can/will utilize during the fight.

Bute-Mendy


why is it everytime i see Mendy, he's always layed out all funny? first it was that nasty DQ win over Bika where he got hit on while down and then yesterday, Lucian Bute pretty much put on an exhibition and then finally sending Mendy face first into a loss

i'm hearing Pavlik-Bute is next...i'll be rooting for the Ghost but i think Bute is too much for him at this point..it would be nice to see a Bute fight outside of Canada


Ramos-Shimoda

my first thought was, 'really HBO? you couldn't have come up with a better undercard bout than this?'


this was an ESPN Friday Night Fight bout IMO but whatever...that was just sad to watch...we had Shimoda who's like the Timmy Bradley of Japan lunging wildly like an amateur and leading with his head...with his 2001 Manny Pacquiao hairstyle....and there was Rico Ramos just standing there for the most part, eating headbutts, low blows and the occasional combos


it was one of those fights, for me, where around the 4th or 5th round, you look at the clock and think '****in A this is set for 12 rounds' and do a facepalm


thank you Rico Ramos for throwing that nasty hook...thank you Shimoda for having a glass chin...i'm glad to have been spared 5 more rounds of that



Williams-Lara



ok, i have a confession to make; i TRIED to be a Paul Williams fan last night...really, i wanted the guy to bounce back after that brutal loss...i wanted him to look like a million bucks, beat the crap out of Lara and be back in the mix


this was even before they did that little segment where Max Kellerman's lispy ass went to his gym and talked to him...i was already tryin to be a fan


then the fight started and i dont know if Paul Williams was a shell of himself or if i underestimated Lara but this wanna be Williams fan found very little to cheer for


Lara SCHOOLED Williams...he moved away from exchanges but landed his overhand left at will...Williams followed around and kept eating bombs as he tried to exchange...had Lara had a tad more power, that fight wouldn't have lasted 5 rounds


so that went on for 12 punishing rounds...the one time i tried to be a Williams fan and he gets his ass thoroughly kicked


what happened next made me sick to my stomach for a good minute


when i heard 114-114, the words 'WHAT THE ****' just blurted out of my mouth


then i heard 115-114, 116-114 and i thought 'damn, they almost robbed Lara...at least he got a close decision win'


i was afraid that they would make it a draw and rob the Cuban


then i heard 'From Aiken, South Carolina' and i became a Paul Williams hater again...**** that guy...**** these gift decisions


he thinks he won, he thinks he deserves another shot at Sergio...give it to him...he needs to be put back to sleep then retire...**** Paul Williams



Cintron-Molina


our fight party decided to start grilling and we didn't watch this one...we came back and it was around the 8th round and we just fast forwarded it to the end to get the decision results...

since Williams probably wont rematch Lara, i'd like to see Lara-Molina 2



Rios-Antillon


as ashamed as i was for being a boxing fan after that Williams bull****, this one restored my faith and reminded me why this sport rocks

WOW, what a war...i remember talking to IronDanHamza about this fight and i said it might be JLC-Chico-esque with the inside fighting and boy, was it ever!

that kind of action is gold to me...it only lasted 3 rounds but if that was a $65 ppv, i would have NO regrets

the action was furious, the crowd was electric...bombs after bombs..beautiful display of hooks and uppercuts...that's what happens when you get to badass mexicans in there...under a hot cali outdoor night, we were treated to a war


i have no problem with the stoppage...Antillon was wobbled...Rios, at 135, is the real deal...If JMM is still breathing after the PAC fight, that's the fight i would love to see


BTW- did you guys notice one of the judges? Earnest Gabion? good ole Eaner09...THANK GOD Rios ended it with a KO...i was gonna start a 'Biased Judge' thread even if he earned a 12 round decision

Thanks pare I was actually scared to score that fight because I knew my biases could get in the way

It was fun and the showtime guys liked me so hopefully I will be back on

LOL

I told Steve Kim I was so concerned about being biased that Brandon could win 12-0 I would have it like 7-5 Urbano
