Has Favela even thrown a jab in this fight:confused: Escobeda picking up the pace now.
Yes a former Olympian, he has fought a lot in San Jose. He is a very good in between puncher, but he isn't exactly hard to hit which is never good for a counterpuncher. Still, nice combinations. Wish he would at least try to work behind that early jab sometimes and maybe move this guy backwards instead of letting him come forward. Jiminez just bullied him and fought really dirty, neautralized a lot of that counter punching and made Escobedo pay for always going back.
Now in round 4 he has some nice jabs going. I still wish he would move forward with it more though instead of popping it from the outside and moving.
I think it's a fairly good showing so far for being on TV for the first time since a loss.
Barking seal, lmao;DQuote:

Favela almost did a 360 with that wild punch:D
:-X.......He was to wide and hooky,got snuck with a nice one
I was going to say something about that. Looks like he borrowed them from his grandad:pQuote:

Favela is gonna knock himself out if he keeps throwing those wild swings and missing that badly. ;D
His trunks look like felt from a pool table;D
I like how Escobedo ends his combinations, it seems the last punch always lands for him he's making all of his combinations count.
Too bad he didn't end a few of those with a left hook, as he could have layed that Favela out.Quote:

Who was that whiney geyed up band for the Wii commercial ??
Teddy is sooo tempted to make a Food Analogy...resist Teddy,resist :-X
Escabedo has done some nice body work as well.
Favela is game. But he doesn't have the skills to keep up.
No Diane I'm not a Sergio fan now, :p I'm just lazy. I will remove that though thanks for reminding me. ;D
He is a game guy; took some bruising body shots and got his head beat on alot. Needs to learn how to work that ring and have someone teach him what a jab is for:p Working towards an Emanuel Augustus type record.Quote:

Edit.........That by NO means was a shut out,One judge 80-72..WTF?
Favela may have won 1 or 2 rounds max...pretty solid from Escobedo, but wasn't overly impressed. He's a good boxer, but I think he may be in trouble if he fights any of the title holders at lightweight.
Reminds me of a smaller version of Baldomir.Quote:

Moves the same way, doesn't move his head a lot and still has problems moving out. Also does have a bit of a chin issue it seems. Good performance though on the rebound. Well it's 2 years so it may not be a rebound but still decent work.
Hope to see some improvement next time out, 18-0 he's going to be expected to step up big soon and he can't carry those flaws that he has to the title level.
So they subbed out Rolando Reyes who was originally who Diaz was set to face. Thanks to whoever did that. After all that it looks like no Francisco Santana. Boo to whoever did that though I've seen Martin before and he's not bad but extremely outsized here.
Chula Vista CA. ??.......haaa,no s!!!;D
Don't most people move up to 6 rounders by their 10th fight? Taking it easy there Martin.
This is going to be another one of those good 4 rounders.
Probably just for the TV that they did that made it a swing bout.Quote:

What is that on Torres head? It looks like a mullet-mohawk hybrid but the party is on top not in the back.
Yes, he said that he was going to the fights, but he didn't say where they were sitting, so not sure if that is who you saw. :dontknow:Quote:

I think Torres got cheated.
I'm thankful Teddy has a job with ESPN otherwise he might try to be a judge. That would be all bad.
Torres' corner certainly seemed happy with the draw.
I thought Torres won , but I wouldn't mnd seeing a rematch this time 6 rounds. :D
