ESPN2 Ryan Garcia v Jayson Velez - O'Sullivan v Abreu

Set for Friday night with a local 9:30 pm start. Really like the quick turn around with young 14-0 Garcia who is being groomed for super stardom in the mold of Oscar. Long way to go but this is a quality step up all things considered with 26-4-1 Velez who is coming in off a complete destruction of the ghost of Juanma Lopez. This should be a fun one as long as it lasts.

In co main Spike O' Sullivan gets an apparent doormat opponent in Berlin Abreu 14-1. Abreu is a welterweight who hasn't fought in a year and a half. His opponents win-loss record is pretty shocking...53-249. Definitely wouldn't get up and go to the fridge during this one :fight:. Considering he was in the GGG sweepstakes was hoping Oscar could line up a sterner test but lets see.

Good main event. A great step up for Garcia. Velez is a good solid fighter. If Garcia can beat him, he at least proves to be a legit fighter.

Kid kind of strikes me a little bit Victor Ortiz ;D. He's already calling KO rounds and thinking he belongs with Davis. Walk then run young man.

O'Sullivan should have his way here. Thinking the handlebars on that Stache won't even be messed.

All Spike in 1st. Abreu lets loose and backs him momentarily early 2nd. Spike is going heavy on Abreus body, both hands.

Here comes the rain. Spike stepping it up and knocking Abreu both directions in 3rd. Abreu spits his piece to get breather and has point deducted.

Time for Spike to settle a bit and close this out.

Well that's a wrap. Corner stops it. I don't think I've ever seen a guy wearing a kilt and sombrero.

What are the chances he gets Canelo in Sept?

The hell is wrong with Oscars voice ???.

He's already branding Golovkin skeered of Canelo for Sept fight...while GGG is already being mandated to defend in Aug ;D:p. What a complete set up farce. Total lose-lose scenario for Golovkin and he's the one who followed the rules. They'll keep doing this crap at every turn.

;D https://i.imgur.com/8GYe5J9.jpg Garcia Velez up next. That's if they're finished talking about his Instagram and FB followers.

Velez better not get sucked up in this production. Looks asleep before the bell! I can see two complete different scenarios...Garcia blows him out with speed or Velez takes him to school after early damage.

Velez has distance closed and initiating exchanges, Garcia has a bad look when he backs and covers up. Very nervous head high mouth open. Velez round.

Best burst by Garcia mid 2nd but mainly singles. Nice 3 punch combo and Velez stumbles end of round. Velez leaning and lurching wide more. 1-1 even up.

Best hope for Velez is stepping in with left hook keep is close, Garcia backs straight and waits there. On the very end Garcia is catching him constantly. Velez shook last minute of 3rd and looks out of sorts.

Was he really working at a fast food chicken joint before Lopez win? Man that's rough. Better mobility by Garcia and doesn't always cut loose with openings. Velez legs looking very heavy lunging in. 3-1 Garcia
