NBC Fight Night: Figueroa Jr- DeMarco and Arreola- Kauffman

[Spicoli]

This card starts in a few minutes on Nbc sports with undercard bouts and switches to regular NBC at 8PM. They are calling it a marathon card but frankly could end up quantity over quality. Not sure of the line up order but match ups are as follows

Hugo Centeno Jr. 23-0 vs Josue Ovando 14-7-1 Spr Middles

Terrell Gausha 16-0 vs Said El Harrak 12-3-2 Spr Middles

Mario Barrios 13-0 vs Manuel Vides 18-4 Jr. Light

Lanell Bellows 13-0 vs Michael Gbenga

Somewhere the comic relief comes as Victor Ortiz has another "comeback" vs a jr. lightweight in Gilberto Sanchez Leon....Jr Middles. Call me a premature cynic but whoever approved this set up should be flogged in public and charged with aiding and abetting an assault.

In co main Chris Arreola 36-4-1 meets Travis Kauffman 30-1 and it tops off with Omar Figueroa Jr. 25-0-1 facing Antonio DeMarco 31-5-1 in main event. I read the weights at 150 for both! Figueroa has apparently gone up 3 weight classes over 2 fights as he missed weight limit by 11 lbs. How is this allowed. Its madness. DeMarco starts slow enough AND was talking retirement last time out. Al Haymon should be wearing a bag over his head now that I look at this.

HBO Latino card starts at 9 pm with Sullivan Barrera 16-0 fighting Karo Murat 27-2-1 in Lt hvy title eliminator. Cheers and all that good stuff

[Spicoli]

Mario Barrios 13-0 vs Manuel Vides 18-4 up first. Barrios is just long everywhere, big frame on him!

[Spicoli]

Barrios really pouring it on over 3 rounds hurting Vides to body at least twice. Barrios punches off his shoulders, level. He's not shy about taking repeated right hands in return from Vides though. Didn't expect Vides to still be here in 4th

[Spicoli]

Barrios ends it convincingly with tremendous right uppercut/ left hook in 6th. Vides struggles but cannot beat the count.

Ortiz looks bloated and is in desperate need of a shave. Next up

[Spicoli]

Sanchez Leon looks like he is wearing some extra large flesh sweater. Terrible. Ortiz looks fookin ridiculous here Bowl cut and Fu Manchu wtf

Sanchez Leon down in 1st. Survives to bell.

[Spicoli]

I cannot for the life of me believe Flores is pushing this guy so hard. "can be serious contender at 147"

Same Ortiz...rushes into place, squares and telegraphs. Ends rounds touching gloves and smiling...Sanchez Leon survives 2nd

[Spicoli]

Wow, welcome to stacked deck Texas. Ref takes point from Sanchez Leon for holding..no warnings..and he gets knocked down from right hook behind head. Sanchez Leon survives 3rd

[Spicoli]

Ortiz little slower in 4th, sitting outside bobbing and nodding. Can't remember if his feet were always this wide but he literally rushes in and takes shoulders on the chin. Sanchez Leon survives 4th

[Spicoli]

Ortiz just chugging and plugging, basically landing anything he imagines and Leon waves him in on ropes. Sanchez Leon survives 5th

[Spicoli]

Oh, Ortiz takes best right thrown by Sanchez Leon so far. Ortiz rushing for the ko but just looks sloppy doing it. Sanchez Leons only hope is that right trap cause Ortiz literally runs right in on it. Comes right to you. Sanchez Leon survives 6th

[Spicoli]

Ortiz with head grinding inside...Sanchez Leon survives 7th.

He just sets this up at distance the ref will stop it, no doubt about it.

[Spicoli]

Its as much Vics inability to set up and sell a tko as it is the ability of Sanchez Leon to take a beating

Ah, well Sanchez Leon has his corner to thank as they tell ref we've had enough at 2:57 of 8th. Ortiz looks for live interview...they switch to pre recorded 4 rounder
