Ok nothing major of course as what kind of Saddo losers watch low level boxing on a major family holiday :-X;D. No family in town today so here we are. A couple of young heavily hyped prospects headline tonight. Joey "don't call me Mike Lee" Spencer 9-0 meets one Limberth Ponce 18-4 middleweights. And Vito Mielnicki Jr 9-1 takes on Nicholas DeLomba 16-3 welters. Spence up first
Slow 1st Spencer with the pot shot speed. Still keeps that left real low. Slight clash of heads.
What get's me is PBC has these prime time Saturday night spots and seems a waste to not use them for say Ortiz v Martin or Thurman v Barrios type main events. Which are basically eliminators for who is the next opponent in major fights. But what do I know.
Both guys doing some waiting in 2nd. Spencer sharper but somewhat inactive. Ponce not without some skill trying to come over left and body.
Spencer really telegraphs that right hook to body and there for left hook counters. No jab either
Slight upping the pace in 3rd for Spencer and finally puts 3 together moving Ponce back off of a right hand.
Big gaps of inactivity Spencer leaping in for 1-2 big body shots and backs out high. Nice right catches Ponce on the way in end of 4th.
Oh two exchange speed the difference Spencer rocks him with right hand. Ponce slowed off that and dropped hard now! Nice finish from nowhere. Ref no count, tko 5th. Right hand had him wobbling bad, left hook caught the tip of chin and another right put him down. Nice win for the kid
He's calmed down a bit seems pretty level headed on the mic. Tons of work to do but you have to start somewhere and make progress, so mission accomplished. Interesting...there's been no boxing card in the States ON Christmas since 1969 ???. Makes a boxing nerd wanna run to the stat books ;D
Clay Collard 9-5-3 v Cuban Yoevis Gomez 4-0 next up. Part time MMA fighter Collard had a nice upset run in the early days of covid Bubble bouts. Has lost 3 straight though.
Oof Collard wobbled bad off short Gomez combo! Nice hand speed on Gomez drops him. Back up but eating that right and woozy. Well that's a wrap ref waves it off tko 1st. Collard looked like a plastic bag blowing through the parking lot. Walked right thru him impressive by Gomez.
Rajon Chance v Elon de Jesus in a rematch next up. These two fought to a Maj. draw in September where Chance was down and cut by a headbutt.
Nice to see Jimmy Lennon Jr on the announce mic. Always liked that guy
Chance with the high shoulder guard really nice range of him. DeJesus switching southpaw a minute then back. Sounds like a ton of controversy in the first fight. Short left upper hook from DeJesus gets in late 1st and Chance does his best Ric Flair Woooo.
Chance seems pretty focused and wears a look of intent trying to line up the long right hand. DeJesus boring in both hands but Chance with the quick movement off and reset. Almost has that bow & arrow stance. DeJesus do well to try to step off with him inside. Much better up close. Needs to get something going quick.
Oh nice counter left hook from DeJesus. Chance thru right and caught hanging out there and mugs to crowd.
Better 3rd for DeJesus better shots. Chance sharper but doesn't strike me as exactly sturdy when his feet go flat.
