:pimp2: Just got home, looks the main is coming up..
March 29
At Verona, N.Y. (ESPN/ESPN Deportes): Brian Vera vs. Donatas Bondoravas, 12 rounds, middleweights; Jackson Junior Dos Santos vs. Umberto Savigne, 10 rounds, light heavyweights.
Let's check it out.
:drinker:
Up now, Antoine Douglas vs. John Worthy, 4 rounds, middleweights.
Douglas is couple of steps above Worthy but he can't put him away.
Savigne really did a number on Jackson Leonard. Looked like a doorman bouncing a drunk.
Anyone know much about Taras Shelestyuk?
Here we go, Brian Vera vs. Donatas Bondoravas.
Teddy might have given Rios the kiss of death when he picked him to repeat tomorrow.
Bondas' nose already bleeding.
Yep, that's what I was thinking. ;)Quote:

It must be a bit unnerving to fight Vera, you hit him with your best shot and he just smiles at you and comes right back. :-\
Bondas needs to have surgery for that knot on the bridge of his nose
He looks winded in 4th
Vera putting some hurt on Bondas in the 4th round, if he keeps it up I believe he's stop Bondas.
Yeah, the nose looks broken.Quote:

I've got Vera winning 4-2 in rounds after 6, am I nuts?
He came in with a massive lump of "scar tissue". Might as well paint a bullseye on that thingQuote:

He needs to get that shit removed before he fights again, it's a liablity for him. I kinda feel sorry for the dude, he showed a lot of heart.Quote:

his corner was setting him up for problems not having that knot on nose 'fixed' prior
Wait...was that ruled a tko (punch) ??? They didn't read scores
Totally agree, don't know what they were thinking. But that finish just didn't smell rightQuote:

Language barrier I reckon, the corner needed an interpreter, oh well, how 'bout a rematch after Bondas has surgery.Quote:

It looked to me like he wanted out, but who knows, like I said, get some surgery and ask for a rematch once it heals, ESPN FNF should comply.Quote:

Yeah, the nose is a big problem for him. He doesn't have a choice either, fix the nose or get out of boxing, because it will only get worse.Quote:

Yes, he looked very passive and timid. Wasn't much protest either. He was really in the fight too, I had Vera losing the first 3 rounds and I"m a big Vera fan.Quote:
