Norberto "stepping stone" Bravo vs. Jose Luis Cruz tonight telefutura SPOILER ALERT

Also on the card.

Tomas Villa (Mex.) vs. Rogers Mtgawa (Tanzania via Philly, PA)

Sportinwood isn't rolling it, since it's in my time zone (Arizona) I assume it's not gonna start for another few hours. Anyone else gonna watch?
Or are you just gonna start another Calzaghe/Jones thread ;D

Lol...Happy birthday "Mas macho's"

That was great. Feliz Cumpleanos buddy.

I love Telefutura!!

Gesta is obviously here to be showcased, because well he's fighting Favela, but man Gesta has a crap jab.

Little bit of a pedestrian start to this one.Prospect being made to work....he is as compact as helz.

Is Nito Bravo still on tonight?

As far as I know, Nito is still on. Gesto a little one dimensional, right left right, back out to the right.

Right.A little over reliant on that uppercut.Favela came on that last round.whats with that initial explosion and then just stands their waiting ?

If Favela had a little talent, he could win fights like this.

Is what SportinWood is showing now, is that the same fights that you guys are watching? :dontknow:

Holyshite :-X:-X For a moment I thought VD had made his way back ;D.Now that is how you honor a bet...much respect Diane.Wow Lol ;)

Right now it's 15-15 "padding in waiting" Favela vs. squared up and tree trunk Filipino prospect Gesto.Someone forgot to tell Favela he was supposed to just fall over.Good fight actually

VD had to work out of town again this week. The guy has been working his a$$ of lately. :p

I hope his schedule slows down a bit for him, so he can get back on here regularly.

I guess no Nito then. The headliner should be good.

I agree.

When you see a fight like this, you wish that those two guys could make more money than the did.

How much money did ODLH and Mayweather make? And it was no where near as good as watching this fight.

Your spot on Sheep.Remember this one when they start talking about ALL of the HUGE names and most of time fail to delve into the smaller scraps,lesser known names etc. THIS one deserves much respect.What a turn around and all heart preformance by two fighters.

Glad We had a chance to live it.I feel bad for the west coast,They get it later & hope it was not spoiled :-X:fight:

True Diane,True
