On TV this week

To much info from Manfredo Sr. there ;D

A little bit of too much information by Manfredo Sr there. I didn't need to know that he threw up a few times today, and got diarrhea. :p

Another swing round Brinkley took it at the end

8-2 Brinkley

8-2 Brinkley + the knockdown, this has to be Brinkley's best performance.

I actually think Stevens has taken the last 2 rounds but the scorecards are likely a lost cause at this point. When you are a short fighter with short powerful hooks it's not a bad idea to make yourself shorter, try to get under punches, Stevens has been straight up all night. For a pressure fighter, Stevens really isn't clued in on what he's supposed to be doing.

geez Brinkley is open for a left hook.

Something just isn't right about Stevens, I know he's got basic problems, balance, maybe not mentally the toughest, etc. but he doesn't seem to really have the instincts.

Bit of a 2nd wind for Brinkley that round.

Win or lose, big lesson to be learned by Stevens here.

It's all mental imo, Stevens had the mindset that he was going to walk over this guy and when he didn't the fight left him and he became kind of mindless. That's my armchair psychologist answer anyways, but whatever the case is Stevens better work on it because he's finished if he lets this one get away.

Also, he shaved his beard which could be a factor.

9-2 Brinkley

HOLY SHIT!!

Well there's your lesson Senor Showtime.

Wow, great fight, and win for Brinkley.

I needed a good fight to watch tonight, and I got it!!

I got i a bit closer , 116-110 but Brinkley dominated most of this fight

Erislandy Lara just won a 10th round TKO.

Fun fight. Until the very end (I thought Stevens might have slightly buzzed Brinkley there at the very end) I thought it looked open for Stevens, Brinkley squared up a lot with his right hand down swinging but he didn't take the return that well all the time.

I'm still annoyed at myself. I saw that coming but I thought Brinkley would get stopped early or with body shots.
