A little late getting out of the gate and nothing else up so just putting it up.Glad its Friday,looooong week and not the biggest of weekends in store for us but some action none the less.
Main event features Middleweights Brian Vera 16-2 (10) taking on Freddie Roaches pupil Craig McEwan 14-0 (9).Not sure of undercard?Yet another show with Hopkins in studio.
1st up is Adrien Broner 8-0 (6) meeting Fernando Quintero 7-0-1
Broner one of those very vocal types.Lots of flash and that iritating habit of 'dragging' his right hand back in exagerated loop over his head lol.Cotto as doing that against Gomez.Broner pretty fast and looking to time Quintero as he advances.Broner there for righthands
Quintero getting closer here in the 2nd.Gets through Broners defense when he wades in,stronger it seems.Broner has fast hands but trying to be too flashy with it.Quintero through twice as many shots in the 2nd.
Broner catching some looping rights from Quintero inn the 3rd round,pretty ugly.Teddy calls it on Broners legs all wide.....not too mention squared.haha....Broner gos all caveman to end the round,practically yelling at Quintero."pop,bop,kaaawaaawaaahaaa" ??? Quintero gives him the wtf stare. Quintero has more substance.
I have high hopes for Scottish Craig McEwan (remember my "Alfredo Angulo won't fight McEwan" thread? ;D )... Brian Vera will be a good tough test...Quote:

This is him huh? Vera lays down for no one,should be a good one.Quote:

Last round here.....YEEEEH;D.This ones hard to watch.
Broner really clipped Quintero to end 7th.Pressing a bit more here and sliding off straight ahead Quintero.Nice right from Quintero as Broner is squared on ropes.Broners mouth open,man he gets sloppy jumping in.Quintero not punching in between this stuff.And it ends with ever vocal Broner yelling "Kiaaa haaa jiwaaa" as he chops a left.To the cards....Even if Quintero "won" it,hes not getting this one me thinks.
Broner takes a Majority call.Yippy.All talk on Pacquiao vs. Hatton in studio.Teddys mad that Hopkins ring smarts didn't rub off on Hatton :-X Ouch
Arum obviously been drinking....dropping Pacquiaos name in with Ali.This is where people start getting carried away:drunks:
Arum is a complete @ss. I dont even want to get into how absurd his comments can be sometimes....absolutely ridiculous.......Wow that was a quick fight, 4 days notice though at least the other guy got a paycheck. Nice work with the rbr Spicoli. Quiet night here at saddos
sure seemed that way.like said tho, how can you compare Pac with AliQuote:

2-0 Charles Hatley just came in and leveled some poor late sub at 55 seconds of 1st.Rolled off and shot short right to chin dropping him hard,stood up only to be felled again.
Mayweather grabbing Marquez by shoulders at stare down,what a chump!!Floyd all buffed up in wife-beater shirt,and JMM stuffed into a huge full suit still looks dwarfed.
Surprised to hear Roach say that the JMM-Pac fights could have gone either way. Roach is a classy and honest guy
I saw Quintero winning 5 rounds to 3.
He was outlanding Broner and making him look foolish when going backwards and landing the right at will.
Although Broner had the better skills he can't fight backwards or under pressure.:p
Hey man,how ya been?Thanks. I was starting to think we crashed again haha,the crickets are tuning up.Quote:

Sorry if im a lil delayed here i recorded the fights an am watchin them now.Quote:

My broke @ss is at home watchin the fights alone. Pac is definately the shot caller now....I think it boils down to money and attention with Floyd...man, I like Vera, but he has taken some damage in his career. Im pullin for him though.Quote:

Round 1 kicking off
Ok SB heres your bwoy...lets see ;D.Man he stands a bit rigid.Vera actually taking time,eats right off missed uppercyt.Looping right lands for Vera and Craig moves away.Vera crafty,clasps with left hand and chops with right.Getting closer inside,Mcgewin does have a lot of movement but head high.
Mcewan is very flawed. Not very impressed so far at all. Hands low, chin is up, pulls straight back...I think Veras grittiness could get him a win here
Just tuning in now

In late here,dog barking at the walls again :-X Vera missing bad at the end of 2nd but putting it all on that right hand.Mcewen constant bouncing around...some wasted energy?Good left to body by Mcewen in 3rd...Mcewen backs to corner and he spins out,throwing to body.Mcewens starting to scuff up under his left eye?
McQwen is tired, see him take a moment coming off those ropes
I like his constant motion,though raggedy in spots.Agreed,he def is not ready for the better fighters.No way.He looks like he has nose problems,breathing?Mouth not wide opened but lifting head up and 'snoorting' (for lack of a better word haha)Quote:

Round 6
On the ropes,Mcewen is a mess.Straight up with gloves glued to head but catching.Nice combo off Vera miss,backed Vera to ropes.Mcewen waiting around when oppurtunitys present themselves.HAHA...Teddy, "forget about the punch numbers,look at that in the ring" about Vera not being the same fighter.?Mcewen has the right idea but would like to see him shift gears more often.sit on shots.Man,he neeeeds to get those hands up
FNF's just is not the same without Diane :-(
7th round getting gritty.Both take turns punching off ropes and dinging one another.Good round,Veras best chance,He HAS to sell out for the power and go for it.EDIT lol Mcewen stands like a totem poll at range...and gets hit with ugly looping shots
Im with ya Dean.Wish she were around big time.Maybe soon.can only keep-keeping on though :box3:;D
Vera needs the KO
Good fight
Mcewenhas some serious long stretch stamina issues.You see his body language in the corner when they were taping his glove....literally drooped over and rested head.Looks like he'll get the nod but still having a hard time calling him true "prospect" .Got alot of work to do!
Was that Barrera on that Tecate Commercial...shaving his tounge :o;D.That was good
Sounds like a good fight... McEwan wins by UD but still a work in progress... Good tough test...
