It's a Mike Tyson promotion and title fight double header!
Claudio Marrero 14-0 (11) vs Jesus Cuellar 22-1 (18) first up.
Tyson shakes Teddy's hand, hugs him and ask if he's still mad at him. First time they've spoke since back in the day ???
Argenis Mendez 21-2 (11) takes on Arash Usmanee 20-1 (10) in main for jr light strap.
Posting from a i phone, the errors will have to stand ;D
Marrero is taking these early rounds, talent gap obvious. Got a little sloppy and wide late in 3rd though. Cuellar is simple but hard... Just nailed Marrero a hard left hook that Marrero felt!
A slick southpaw and a brawling southpaw. Marrero getting careless with defense
Marrero hurt bad off Cuellar right hook. He looks sloppy and flaming all over, just got knocked down too.
Talk about a major shift here in 6th!!!
There is something about these fighters from Argentina that you better wear a fookin helmet
Both trading bombs, Cuellar hurt!!! Marrero huffing hard...now he's hurt bad!!! Fuckin A. Awesome fight
Quite 8th compared. Marrero moving and just touching him.
Marrero cut in 9th, looking tired again. Cuellar busts him hard as he back straight and Marrero is almost turning his back at times to turn out
Ebb and flow 10th round, Marrero got back on track as Cuellar let's up. Joan Guzman working Marreros corner, at least he's not his dietitian. Cuellar trudging along in 11th and more rough with body than effective with hands there. Needs a ko in 12th I'd imagine
Ohh man, sloppy sloppy 12th and Marrero looks spent!!! Just draped over himself and Cuellar lands some solid hooks. Tough fight to score.
Dam spicoli feeling a bit schizophrenic tonight talking to yourself? I only caught the 12th didn't realize this was on
Here we go....115-112 114-113. 116-111 unanimous Cuellar!!!! Woah. Welcome to America son. Argentina pulls off the win
;D Hey man, its what we do. Great little scrapQuote:

Wow. They ask Mike what fight he'd show someone who never saw Tyson, he says only from the Douglas fight until now ???
what was Teddy Atlas watching scoring it for Marrero?:confused: It was an easy easy decision for the guy who won.
Usmanee picks right back up where he left with Barthalemy. Mendez is a lot sharper though...and should also lose a point for that chicken wing elbow and forearm.
I need to char a steak and empty a bottle.. This match should be entertaining as it goes
My dum ass forgot again n just tuned in again not all there today upstairs
Really proud of Usmanee thus far.
Yeah mendez jeeps getting away with an extended arm out there floating for five seconds but what lil I've seen so far he seems to be doing the beter work
Elbow has been working well for Mendez throughout the fight w/o a warning. Gimp ref.
I guess spicoli is cookin up that steak, yeah mendez seems to be getin away with stuff but he definitely's winnin...
Yup he's finding a home for that right hand.
Man I hope usmanee gets a gift I need the points in the prediction contest hahaha
Usmanee needs ti stay really close to mendez because when he gives him the room he's gettin peppered hard with shots the forearm work is getin ridicelous tho but ninth round is usmanee imo
I took him also in a different challenge.
Ok scored the 10for usmanee but probably more wishful thinking than anything hahaha
Also usmanee should thrown a few elbows forearms of his own but big elevent for mendez
Was that a missed kd???
One where you have to pick your poison. I'm a fan of what Usmanee is doing more than Mendez here. But it feels like too little too late. Gritty scrap
Wow!
Good fight. Some terrific work.
Edge of your seat stuff there in the twelfth seems like teddy was a bit overly generous to mendez
Ohhhhh boy :p
A draw.
As I missed the first 5 I think can't really score it but the facebookers seemed to have it far closer than teddy who gave usmanee one round which seems ludacris I gave him 3 out of the 6 or 7 I watched...granted I was probably bein favourable to usmanee
I had it 115-113 Mendez. Seems like Atlas was the one with terrible scoring today. Worst I've seen from Atlas
Did he really? That's just nutty. I was hearing more than seeing the first half but it def didn't seem like a whitewash for Mendez. He and Marrero have a similar choppy look when swarmed, swaying tall and hit ugly. Thought he took fight from half rounds I saw, save for late surge from Usmanee.Quote:

I wanted usmanee to win for the prediction contest but yeah only round teddy gave usmanee was either 9 or 10, usmanee needed to have his head in mendez chest the entire time because any more distance than that and he was getting the worse of it, I definitely didn't see a wash for mendez but sometimes teddy goes crazy with the scorring so...also when it is a horrendous decision and a hometown favorite isn't involved you tend to hear some major boos from the crows didnt seem to be the case hereQuote:
