77-75 Terry

Neither guy looked like they've been trained. Terry has one mode, a mediocre counter puncher with even moderate power will absolutely school him. Bobo just doesn't not have the power to keep people honest or the work rate to take over rounds. I have Terry edging this, but easily a draw or win for Bobo could be on the cards. Both guys did give an honest effort, the skillsets need to be sharpened though.

Official decision

76-76 Draw, 77-75 Terry, 77-75 Terry

MD Terry, close fight reasonable scores.

ESPN announces Chagaev as the official Haye replacement.

Now they're talking about the Belmont Stakes, um this is a boxing show right?

I show up and they're talking about horse racing.

Oh well its nice not working nights anymore, I can watch Friday Night Fights live and Killersheep can stop talking to himself ;D

The main event looks a bit underwhelming but you never know.

Danny Perez vs. Carlos Molina coming up now. Should be a good action fight. Molina always brings it, taking this fight on 6 days notice.
Perez in prefight interview talking about learnging how to box instead of just slugging.

Perez seems a bit hyper, actually this might be okay.

Not a bad opening round, gave it to Molina, kinda foiled Perez's "boxing" in there.

10-9 Molina

Molina pressing hard the first and last minute of that round, gonna give that one to him too

20-18 Molina

I like Brian Kenny, not sure he's used to doing this but I'm not much on Tessitore

Molina pulling the Ruiz style with the holding, but throws nice flurries inbetween. Shutout on my card so far

30-27 Molina

Perez, wishing it was quintana now

Molina again, Perez maybe slow to pull the trigger, I don't know.

Molina keeping with what works

40-36 Molina

Not long now til he loses control I think

Perez has a little success with the jab, and then Molina grinds him back to his style.

50-45 Molina

Perez looks really flat... this is getting ugly.

You can see the frustration of Perez as he's trying to open up, but unable.

60-54 Molina

Molina landing some great shots now, Perez out of ideas.

70-63 Molina

1st close round in a while Molina's work when he had Perez on the ropes won that one for me.

80-72 Molina

I gave that one to Perez, the first round he's landed anything of meaning.

89-82 Molina

Molina starting to wear down, Perez round

Molina looked more effective to me that round

Perez has gotta know he can't be laying up against the ropes doing nothing this round right?

Easy Molina round to close the show
