Crispino & Farhood calling the action for Showtime:

Up first Badou Jack vs. Alexander Brand - Super-middleweights

Somebody's '0" must go.

Brand looks like a guy who watched a blurry VHS tape of Mayorga and Hamed fights one night and said, shiiit...I can do that

good fight. Sloppy but gritty. Jack needs to find a second level here.

Any link would be pretty cool. Looking forward to a potentially boring, or explosive, main event.

Brand seems to be outworking Jack, who appears to be rather clueless. Brand very unorthodox, but effective.

First clear cut round I gave to Jack the 5th. 3-2 Brand. Jack is pretty vanilla in there. Needs some se ond gear and umpf!

I tried to send you a PM but it says you need to delete some of your PM's your box is full.

I bet they give the decision to Jack, just a hunch.

Jack wins a SD, up next the main = Yudel vs. Willie.

Good scrap, flip a coin honestly. Jack needs to thin the herd of ring corner fluffers though.

Nelson is a beanpole, especially for a Jr. Middleweight.

Yeah, Jack needs to rid himself of a few clowns. He was fortunate to win tonight.

Ol' Willie put the stick to Johnson in first. Johnson looks pudgy and need....

fat boy just beat to the punch and got dropped!!

Nice 2nd rd KD for Nelson, after it looked like he was losing the round.

Jack Lowe, in Nelson's corner, used to be Pavlik's trainer/manager.

Nelson ahead on the cards because of the 2nd round KD.
