Comments Thread For: Early ESPN Friday Night Fights Results

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The broadcast opened with a clash of fledgling Jr. Middleweights.

In a bout with no knockdowns, 21-year old Haitian Wendy Toussaint (4-0) of Huntington, New York, scored a majority decision over four rounds with another in an early career of decision verdicts over 23-year old Anthony Gangemi (4-2, 3 KO) of Mine Hill, New Jersey. Toussaint was some four inches taller at 6’0. Both men weighed in at 148 lbs. The fight was tough to score with Gangemi largely pressing the action and Touissant working to stay at range and land pot shots. One judge saw the bout ever at 38-38 but was overruled by twin scores of 39-37 for Toussaint.

How ***ed!! We get the rebirth of Yuri Foreman with boring a$$ Algieri!! One trick pony that does the same mechanical thing over and over again.

I didn't think he was that bad. He's got more pop than Yuri Foreman.

[TaurusJ27]

Taylor did too much covering up.

I didn't think he was that bad. He has a goofy lil style. But he has a decent skill set and a lil fighting spirit. The P4P crown is safe. But I wouldn't mind watching him again. I think somebody like Judah is kinda the next step for him. But his folks may not like that fight. Because Algieri is a left hand dominant guy. That might not work so well against a southpaw. And as you said, he is a lil mechanical. So a seasoned southpaw with fast hands and pop might be something his folks wanna stay away from. But we'll see.

Taylor is a good win , Algieri is really big with some alright ability more a mid-level kind of guy.

Rather see him go against a real pressure fighter.

The more I think about it. Judah may be too big a step for him right now. I was looking at the NY angle and that Judah had lost to Paulie and didn't look real good doing it. A better step right now may be Aydin. And the way the IBF rankings look. That one probably would be an eliminator with the winner earning a shot at Peterson.
