Brian Viloria vs. Carlos Tamara just starting now, anyone else watching?

wow what a fight, after the 9th round viloria was completely out of steam, he was outboxing and hurting tamara and dude looked done, but props for hanging in there, I think in a rematch viloria should take it, but then again he should have took this one...

Me too, but I don't think anyone picked Tarama to win. I also don't think anyone went against Napa, so we might be ok. I've been enjoying my week at the top of the leaderboard.

This is the same old story for Viloria. You can get him to the title, but he can't sustain it. He might have one more run at the title and then he should hang it up.

Viloria losing his title is just, well, not shocking. He's just not a strong titlist.

I disagree the stoppage was fine imo. Viloria was completely out of gas, he fell over 2 or 3 times and was just throwing huge wild punches as a complete last ditch effort. When he covered up on the ropes and went prone, with half the round left, I felt the stoppage was right.

I agree, good stoppage.

Thanx to Diane for hosting tonight's session!

It looks like Viloria collapsed in his dressing room after the fight, and was taken to the hospital.

Yeah to me Viloria looked dangerously exhausted, I always get nervous when I see little guys in that kind of condition, glad he's ok hope he recovers fully.
