Tuesday night action kicks off in 30 minutes with all action Sammy Vasquez 19-0 taking on Jose Lopez 25-3-1. Vasquez is coming off a war with Wale Omotoso and does not lack for taking on good comp. Not sure about his skin-defense holding up as he climbs the ranks, but it'll be a fun ride. This is the first time in the States for Lopez who has run strong with some good fighters.
Undefeated Omar Douglas 14-0 (11) vs Braulio Santos 12-2 (10) featherweights will open
Douglas hurts Santos with some wicked left hooks to the body early, Santos caught with stiff short jab near rounds end and dropped hard. Barely beats count. He's seriously undersized and hurt easy in the belly
They trade hooks and Santos gets dropped flat on his back! Goes into survival mode in 2nd, Douglas a serious compact puncher. That weird ass hair net-tie up has to go though. Looks like the chick form the Catina scene in Star Wars.
Both still trading hooks...Santos still alive but just got clipped in back of head 2,3 times ffs. Into the 4th
Thanks for the heads up
Props to Santos, still here at end of 5th. Didn't think he'd last. Very slippery roll out now away from those left hooks but little in way of punching back. Douglas gets a point docked for repeated rabbit punches!
Anytime bud. Just came off 12 hrs on the feet and trying to forget it ;DQuote:

Equal opportunity ref here..Santo loses a point for LB in 7th. Slower 8th round, Douglas trying to catch some wind here.
Not very familiar with Douglas, I've heard of him first time seeing him, looks solid.
Looked like they traded straight rights in 9th and Santos touched canvas but just brushed off. In a weird way that won't matter..Santos the one who has shown more adaptability. Good scrap for young prospect. Douglas should learn more here than in any hand full of ko's. Needs to work on his gears, should be one sided on card 96-90...99-87..99-97 Douglas
I thought that was just a off balance thing with him touching, you think it should have been a kdQuote:

That Rasta style hair is quite heavy. Wrapped the way he has it it must feel like a rope hitting him. He also had to use his hand to throw it back a few times.Quote:
