first up brandon gonzalez an okay prospect.

gonzalez is trained by andre ward's trainer, virgil hunter.

fight scheduled for 8 rounds. fighting outside in the sun.

wow this is horrible

ropes are loose

scoreboard or something (per teddy) is making an annoying and loud noise on a continual basis.

Hey Capt, I just started watching this.

how is it going?

imagine it is hotter there than it is in richmond, virginia, but it is hotter than hell here.

tomorrow night should be good fights on with ortiz/lopez and especially soto/matthyse

ESPN's homeboy, Mike Dallas Jr. in the main.

June 22
At San Jacinto, Calif. (ESPN2/ESPN3): Michael Dallas Jr. vs. Javier Castro, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Brandon Gonzalez vs. Elie Augustama, 8 rounds, super middleweights; Guy Robb vs. TBA, 8 rounds, junior lightweights.

dallas got stopped and then lost a split decision that was close and could have won.

He should be improving. He has virgil hunter training him (ward's sage trainer). if he can't box, sit down his punches more, and win tonight, then his career is in the shitter.

Everything is going good with me, business has been great lately. The East Texas summer is just starting to heat up, but this year's weather has been like paradise compared to last year, so no complaints from me.
In re: tomorrow nights fights, I figure just mute the sound, (haha) but the scraps should be worth watching.

Good pick up Capt. Predicting someone falls through those ropes Hasim Rahman style before night over It sound like they are fighting on top of a old slat bed or something.

Random,it may be more and more incumbent on big network and national 'TV' to tell shit casinos-venues and more so the state commissions get it right or you don't get air time in order to fix sport. Really up to promoter?

God I cannot wait for tomorrows action watching this 1st bout

Yup, Dallas can't afford another loss. I'm not sure i'd like setting out in the Cal sun watching these fights.

it is embarrasing that they let a bout go on with these conditions. the ropes are not set up properly. And that sound is horrible. national tv.


ruining friday night fights for me.

I want is a couple of okay fights every friday, professional tessitore, wacky teddy, and not stupid ropes, grating sounds.

not too much to ask.

as for tomorrow night. It is supposed to be on Showtime. What the heck is Showtime going to do with Tarver He is supposed to be an analyst for the fight after being announced today that he tested positive!!!!

they have to pull him for tomorrow. they have to.

Ortiz is a big looking welter.

when he fought berto he weighed 161 pounds. when he fought floyd I think it was 165.

that is normal fighting weight for a junior middle, not a welter.

What a shitty ring! You'd think they would pay more attention to the details for a nationally televised fight.

it is at least 2 shows a season where you have to shake your head at the commissions not having a good setup for national tv.

anyone from outside the US? If so, would that happen? a small but nationally televised event with rings like spaghetti noodles and some sort of grating sound that reminds me of the beginning of once upon a time in the west.

always brings action. won't be boring next week.

I have nothing against bernard osuna. he is growing on me. But I still miss Brian Kenny in the studio. I understand Mr. Kenny got paid by MLB network, but everyone has something they were meant to do, and being the studio host for boxing is a talent that BK truly had.
