What a fight, this is really something, I got it 56-55 for Paris. I think.
Note to Sergio...Colemans not James Toney, not even Augustus
Look at how Paris fights across an arc in attacking Coleman.
Coleman has no way to figure where the next punch is coming from!
Predictable, Paris had superior fire power, and Coleman's is just average at best, it was just a matter of time.
Paris isn't very likable, but the guy has some talent.
That really was technically excellent from both guys and an exceptional finishing effort by Paris.
HAIL FNF!!!!!!!
Paris read him like a menu that round. Coleman was solely concerned with protecting his ribs. Love the mix of shots Paris hasQuote:

Both fighters walked the walk tonight. Both deserve bigger paydays out of that for me. The only guy I can recall watching recently who displayed that level of skill was Lamont Peterson last week.
Nice to see the mutual respect after the fight. Just what I like, complete unadulterated trash-talk pre-fight & respect afterwards ;D
good damn night of fights for FNF. Limited budget and they still give us good value!!!
first fight was going to have some fireworks but it was stopped for the cut. Then Faragon (prospect) tears up Terry. Then Coleman is able to drop Paris but Paris's bodywork and overall heavier hands are too much in a darn good fight.
FNF proved tonight that if you have guys matched pretty well (and they have a decent amount of skill) then you end up with something worth watching.
It has been a pretty good year for FNF.
Vernon Paris likes Detroit, over sized hats that make him look like a 6 year old, body shots, and talking trash. His turnoffs are Tim Coleman, speaking like he's got an education, and being shot or stabbed.
I kind of agree, I think the ref seemed overly concerned about stopping the fight the previous round. Yes, Coleman was getting pushed back, but he was also throwing back the odd-shot. Imo you let the fighter have every opportunity to keep getting back up from those kind of shots or let his corner take control.Quote:

Body shots aren't likely to get a fighter permanently damaged. Let Coleman decide if he wants to continue.Quote:

My boy Kermit is on FNF next week, that should be fun, maybe he can find someone to beat for a change. :cool:Quote:

That really was a terriffic pro fight.
Two VERY well taught guys.
Two guys who understood what they wanted to do.
Excellent ebb and flow and thoughtful countering.
Serious desire and determination demonstrated by both men I thought.
Paris won and Coleman was beaten, but I don't think anyone lost anything.
Works for me!Quote:

I am SHOCKED Cintron is back in the ring so fast. He really looked like a disinterested guy in his last fight.Quote:

That's quite a look Cubias has going on.
Alvarado has a following in Denver if my brain isn't going. Thus you have a built in crowd for a shobox event.Quote:

I may never root for someone like I will Antwone Smith next week. As long as he hasn't got a stomach bug again (who decides to fight when they're suffering chronic diahroea), then I'm picking him to upset Cintron.Quote:

I'll tell ya, for two real younguns? These kids are doing fine!
Nunez threw some nice left hooks earlier. Saw a left hook body and then a left hook immediately up top. Pretty nice.Quote:

Night all.

Sergio is pretty good.
Anybody got a highly fit, very courageous, bob and weave heavy hidden away somewhere?
I used to have my wife shave my head, but she tended to get a little rough with the razor, so for the last 5-6 years, i've done it myself. :-XQuote:
