Crispino & Farhood calling the action for Showtime:

Up first Badou Jack vs. Alexander Brand - Super-middleweights

Somebody's '0" must go.

Brand looks like a guy who watched a blurry VHS tape of Mayorga and Hamed fights one night and said, shiiit...I can do that :-X

good fight. Sloppy but gritty. Jack needs to find a second level here.

Any link would be pretty cool. Looking forward to a potentially boring, or explosive, main event.

Brand seems to be outworking Jack, who appears to be rather clueless. Brand very unorthodox, but effective.

First clear cut round I gave to Jack the 5th. 3-2 Brand. Jack is pretty vanilla in there. Needs some se ond gear and umpf!

I tried to send you a PM but it says you need to delete some of your PM's your box is full.

I bet they give the decision to Jack, just a hunch.

Jack wins a SD, up next the main = Yudel vs. Willie.

Good scrap, flip a coin honestly. Jack needs to thin the herd of ring corner fluffers though.

Nelson is a beanpole, especially for a Jr. Middleweight.

Yeah, Jack needs to rid himself of a few clowns. He was fortunate to win tonight.

Ol' Willie put the stick to Johnson in first. Johnson looks pudgy and need....:o

fat boy just beat to the punch and got dropped!!

Nice 2nd rd KD for Nelson, after it looked like he was losing the round.

Jack Lowe, in Nelson's corner, used to be Pavlik's trainer/manager.

Nelson ahead on the cards because of the 2nd round KD.

KD for Yudel in the 4th, the KD's are even, as is the fight.

Ohhhh Lackluster Johnson just dropped Willie Nelson like a slack sack of brown dirt weed :o....He needed THAT. Nelson up and recouped but his chin just failed his gameplan. I got 3-1 Nelson in rounds. Wow!!

57-55 Nelson here....both guys can be hurt and should go for it

Johnson looks like he's reduced to looking for a ko. He just looks...flat. Nelson busier, walking him back and more effective punches...77-73

Aside from the KD's for each fight I have Nelson, outboxing/outworking Yudel in most rounds after 9. If he survives the 10th round he should win a UD.

But here again, Jhonson may get a gift on the cards.

Nelsons to lose in this 10th I believe....he's doing everything he wants and when he wants and is on point.

Nelson just schooled the amateur schooler....97-91 here. Not close at all late and the judges got it right!

Well what do know, the judges finally got one right for a change. Yudel underestimated Nelson, and paid the price, plus Jhonson simply wasn't busy enough.

Pretty good fights. :thumb:

I like seeing the underdog win when he's not expected to.:cool:

This is not on over here in the UK!

Good Showbox last night. Badou Jack has a lot of work to do to get to the elite level. As strange of a style as the other guy in that fight had, forget his name, he eeked out the fight for me, or earned a draw, in what was supposed to be a showcase fight for Badou Jack. The Nelson-Johnson fight was a lot of fun to watch.

Decent fights last night, I wouldn't call it a robbery, but I thought Brand did enough to get the nod over Jack.
As for Willie vs Yudel, that was a watchable fight, 2 KD's, and lots of action. Nelson was busier and more effective, I had him winning 6 or 7 rounds of that 10 round fight. The Cuban Jhonson needs to go back to the drawing board, he relies too much on throwing big bombs with his left hand, and does little else.
