FNF on a Thursday night this week! Not a bad match up here. Two with seemingly decent pop and Prescott 27-6 (20) coming off what I thought should have been a close win where he boxed very well. Lawson 23-0 (20) is finally getting airtime but needs to look better than last out. More complete and put shots together.
Rances Barthelemy 21-0 (12) is apparently dropping his title and moving up to lightweight. He fights Angino Perez 18-6 (16) in co main.
Looking forward to it. See you at 6PM Pacific Time on ESPN2.
Ahmed Elbiali fights Mike Stafford to kick it off, Lt heavys. Stafford landing a bit!
Stafford is putting a spotlight of Elbialis leaky defense, catching him coming in but weary end of 2nd. Good scrap
Elbiali working that body, then lands low. That body is hurting! You cannot miss Elbiali coming in
Elbiali is initiating those holds as well. Dude pulled punch and literally 'sat' into a clinch ffs.
Stafford is like a leach and finally lost a point in the 6th for holding.
138 "catchweight"...aka champ doesn't want to work :vd:. Too many of these today
I'm really going to miss brash but honest Teddy , spot on about weight and build up.
News segments on Laila Ali vs Ronda f'n rousey and Roy Jones jr in another club fight? Old soldiers like Jhonny Gonzalez get nothing
ESPN cards will look just like "Ring" magazine when Oscar got involved and it thought it was GQ come May ;D
Awesome 1st round. Lawson effected but bounced back, think he busted Prescotts nose up
1-1 into 3rd. Lawsons short shots inside, jab working
Lawson has excellent jab.
Ohh Prescott down off chopping right hand, busted up bad. 2-1 Lawson. Prescott much better end of 4th. Even up 2-2
Some hope for Prescott, Lawson looks to have gone to get a snack??? Needs to kick it in gear. 3-2 Prescott
Prescott really all over him, Lawson showing some give and being moved! Hes trying to pick spots and sharp shoot but too patchy. 5-2 Prescott
Def ebb and flow, cleaner final round, very busy and accurate for Lawson. Have this one razor thin at end with 95-94 Prescott. Lawson eases off and coasts. Now here come the judge.....
Lawson shaved it I think
Judges 95-94 Lawson 96-93 Lawson 96-93 Prescott. Lawson via split
I agree with the judges. That jab was snapping Prescotts head back all night
Hard fought and close fight. I was happy with the result.Quote:
