Looks like this is the last televised network card of the year so why not run with it. In another Main Omar Douglas 15-0 taking on Frank DeAlba 17-1-2 Jr.lights. Douglas looked ordinary last out..you are no Hagler son, seems they are stepping up activity. Miguel Cruz 11-0 vs Virgil Green 11-3 welters. 9-0 Middleweight Kyrone Davis also on the card. Long year coming to a close, let the new year-transition drought begin .
Leo Hall 8-0 vs Christopher Brooker 6-1 Lt heavies kicks things off
Good 1st for late sub Brooker, Hall a little too casual but looking for counters off ropes, uppercuts.
Thanks dude, you are always good about the heads up. I should be able to catch at least some of it.Quote:

Hall another in a long line who thinks stardom will answer to him. Brooker is bit raw but outworking him. Thing is Hall looks to have the ability to step up pace and change it all, but no.
All Brooker 6th. Simply speaking Hall needs to pull his head outta his ass and fight like he has to pay the bills. Lazy man, but stiff short jab when he gets it going!
Brooker playing with Hall there, clowning almost too much :-X Can see 8th for Hall but Brooker should win this no doubt. Hall just waited...and waited. He'd be great with jab but only in spots and zero fire down below.
Just got it on and saw brooker hand raised
Honestly didn't think it would be that wide..a shutout on one! No idea what Hall was thinking or doing..he looked as disinterested as a guy can be, and came in talking himself "future of boxing" and guaranteeing a ko of 'glass chin' Brooker :vd: Brooker fought his arse off and grabbed TBA opportunity. Very solid winQuote:

Ohh Green looked like a guy running backwards in wet flip flops there, hurt bad with wide left hook! Cruz smells it
Some fighters do that hands down and get away with it, Green needs to rethinks that. Getting tagged in and out.
The ref being way too brave with Greens welfare, should have been over. Poor guy literally staggered pillar to post, ref waves it off from the backseat and lets Cruz keep punching :cwm13:! Cruz didn't get caught up..solid breakdown.
Fair play to Douglas. Genuine respect for Hagler at a time when dismissing other eras happens a lot.
The hair has to go though man, come on. That thing is a weapon! Bet Paulie wishes he would have thought of that
The hair being dangerous has been brought up in commentary before. The way he has it tied back prevents him from being whacked with it which happened prior to that wrap styleQuote:

When does that matted few lbs of hair constitute a helmet btw. Like an anchor ;D. Close tough fight so far
DeAbla staggered mid 5th, really looked bothered and Douglas came on hard.
Good 7th full of free exchange. Douglas really hard to miss but much more pressure this time out, plat to your strengths. Interested to know what these two weigh here. DeAlba almost looks similar to a gritty Mike Alvarado. Nice body shots he sneaks in
That was a fun fight down the stretch, Douglas effective pressure and DeAlba better counter boxing than he may get credit for. Solid scrap! Douglas should get nod. Scores...95-95...96-94...97-93 Douglas win
