ESPN: Kavaliauskas v Abreu - De Alba v Vences

[Spicoli]

Very thin selection of fights this weekend but espn has scraped one together tonight. The carnival act on the show has to be the reappearance of Andy Ruiz Jr as he takes on..ready for this..Kevin Kingpin Johnson . And at the weight in Johnson outweighed Ruiz Jr by five lbs . All jokes aside Ruiz should be doing big things and is not without skill.

Frank De Alba 22-3-2 v Andy Vences 20-0-1 has all the makings of a fun scrap at 130. Egidijus Kavaliauskas 19-0 gets elevated to main event and fights Juan C. Abreu 23-3-1 for a stepping stone trinket. Card starts at 8:30 locally. NBA game airing prior so great chance chow may be delayed a bit.

Looks like Ruiz jr took a workmanlike 10 over Johnson. Danny O'Connor missed weight and ended up in hospital. Bradley tells him to get a nutritionist. Andre Ward on mic and camera has all the passion of a Wal Mart greeter. Vences v De Alba at the bell should be good.

[Spicoli]

Good opening round for Vences off the jab. And the California crowd boos before 1st is even over . Seeing that way to much.

[Spicoli]

Both very much in stand off and circling. Vences 1-2 on point and right hand closer and closer, looking for counter right uppercut end of 3rd.

[Spicoli]

Tactical punch and shift kind of affair. Mostly ring center. I don't think they have clinched a single time, Vences hurt him to the body early 5th

[Spicoli]

Legs of De Alba went 3 directions for a minute. Right of Vences moving him around and making him weary to what he puts out. Right eye little lumped on De Alba. Vences strongest round.
