It all comes to a conclusion tonight in the middleweight and lightweight finals. Its been a decent and pretty entertaining tournament by ESPN. The Middleweights see Brandon Adams 14-0 (9) and Willie Monroe jr. 17-1 (6) over 10. Looking forward to this fight more so than the main event. I like Adams a lot!
Petr Petrov 34-4-2 (16) takes on Fernando Carcamo 17-5 (13) in the lightweight finale.
Undertstand that all 4 of these guys have been raised to top 15 rankings by wba?!
1-1 even up. Monroe sharp but rolls are as clear as day here. Adams trying to cut the southpaw down...Monroe great hit and move in 3rd so far..Adams again forcing exchanges to close round and has effect but played spectator too long. Tough round, like Monroes boxing there. 2-1 Monroe
Man, very sharp counters by Monroe end 4th. Literally read him like a book to close...Adams needs to take the knocks to get in and be effective..he is in lala land on the end of Monroes jab too often. 3-1 Monroe
Action is picking up. Close fight so far
Good end to the round for Monroe
Nice, just put it on thanks. Just need to block out Atlas
Nice exchange in 6th, Adams finally caught him and backed him..hits Adams low and Adams takes a hard hook while complaining to ref. Gritty round, 4-2 Monroe
Looked better than it actually was on replay, but its in the books
Trying to finds gaps for Adams, they are just not there in mass. Monroe beating him to the punch and doing a solid job of punching between a squared up Adams 1,2s along the ropes in 8th. Nice little heat up on ropes. Damn. 6-2 Monroe
7-2...corner telling him go for broke. Monroe showing sharpness and swagger absent earlier in tourney...completely on point, just leaving shadows for Adams to swing at when in ring center
Monroe keeps from going down he should win the fight
Good fight! I know what you mean about Teddy, but I like the turkey.Quote:

Monroe big time here...98-92 here. Adams was a step behind from the bell
He had him looking a bit Lacy half way through, Nice displayQuote:

We have two fighters from the US in the ring and they seem to have respect for each other. It's damn near un-Ameriican behavior.
He is def worth the exposure. Interesting to hear him say he is going back down to 154 after just beating a top ten ranked middle, had no idea Adams was #6 wtf, woahQuote:

Defusing the bomb. Lol
Teddy sounds like he'd yell at kittens tonight :action:, they need a damn breathalyzer here. Petrov is machine here, solid combinations from all angles
Pet pushes the action a little more he can get the stoppage
Petrov is running away with this fight, I don't know if Teddy is right about Carcamo but he is out of this fight for sure.
He's going to sleep, much more one sided than I thought prior. Carcamo is stepping off curds that aren't there. His balance is shat
Was about to compliment Joel Diaz there..then he said he was letting it go on. This should be over
They need to get Carcamo checked out. He doesn't look like he's a there. Like the lights are on but ain't nobody there
I like petrov. I would watch him again
Petrov looked great. Monroe looked good too. Pretty good fights.
Petrov was great tonight but I want to see him in with some more experienced guys. He's had 40 fights, let's find out where he belongs.Quote:

It was a good card, I just wish the referee had stopped the Petrov fight sooner. The kid was like a sitting duck.
It was a good fight but Adams could have done more pressure and punching. Frustrated he did not put it all out there. Munroe was classy.Quote:
