Gacria vs Guerrero fight!

Didn't see a thread for this up, pretty solid card tonight I think. Garcia is a apparently a 10 to 1 favorite, I don't see it that wide and should at least be a good action fight. Its on FOX which might mean free for the muricans?
The two supporting fights are interesting. SAmmy Vasquez looks really good but he eats some shots. His opponent is the guy who gave Robert Guerrero a really tough fight in his last, and is coming off an upset win over Devon ALexander.

Amir Mansour vs Dominic Brezeale is hard to call, thought Breazeale clearly lost to Fred Kassi who mansour was able to KO, but Mansour is a bit plodding and old. Could also see this one being a pretty shit fight come to think :P

I took several upsets this week and this is one of them. Never understood the hype over Garcia or this phantom power everyone talks about. The guy is just over 50% and has only one fringe contender on his ledge pole in Khan. Guerrero is most likely battle worn but he's a real spoiler here imo. I'm not convinced that Garcia would have beaten Aydin or Berto.

I have garcia listed as a wider favorite than I would have before Guerrero fought Thurman. Guerrero still started at feather and garcia's been waiting for the division to clear out before he moved up. So figure garcia gonna outweigh guerrero tonight by a wide margin and have time, weight, power and pretty much everything else on his side. Guerrero has the advantage in heart but, it will only take you so far and then it will get you killed. I think Guerrero experience to see garcia loading up on his punches all night. Whether he will be smart enough and sharp enough to get out of the way is something different entirely.

The garcias are counting on youth and guerreros wear and tear to get them a win. But it doesn't mean they didn't set up a serious weight advantage so they they dont feel anything guerrero hits them with and wont try to walk him down and "salka-punch" him. I think the opportunities will be there for guerrero, he just wont be able to take advantage of them and when he does it wont matter. There's enough minds that specialize in this type of f*ckery that the wins been carefully orchestrated.

Looking forward to this card! If not for Guerrero being seriously hurt by Martinez last out I'd give him a respectable chance but cannot shake that image. Still solid welcome and test to welterweight I think for Garcia as he's not impressed at all since Matthysse. Mansour v Brezeale could be a fun heavyweight scrap and bit of a sleeper. Brezeale has to still be kicking himself atbeing pulled out of a fight with Charles Martin and watching him win a trinket on a 'football injury'. One to see is Vasquez and Martinez for me, love the styles mash up and free tv needs more guys like Vasquez. Fight could steal the show!

I was gunnar go to bed but I think I'll just catch an hours kip and then get wired on coffee and watch this.

I can't see anything other than a garcia win purely because of the mileage on guerreros clock, I'd love to see garcia get smacked silly though

Mansour showed some smarts last couple fights, robbed v Washington. Should be interesting.

Mansour leaving himself wide open, every time he throws

Caveman just landed a brick. What a shot!

Credit to Brezeale. Didn't think he was getting out of that round

Fun fight so far

Nice!! Fun round both hurt. Breazeale moves like a glacier but good recovery

Breazeale needs to think.

I think it's only a matter of time before Mansour turns out the lights

For all the money pbc saves not putting mega fights together you'd think they could pay for better ;D

Meanwhile they keep Brain Kenny mute

Thats unfortunate..

Mansour "that's it man I can't close my mouth"
Cornerman "come on man don't do me like that" :-X

Breazeale needs to sharpen up down the middle but good to see a 'young' heavy have to get off the deck and come back

Ugly win and time is running out for Mansour. 43 is old in boxing, I don't care how easy he had it in prison! Too bad about the injury.

They're both hoping the ride keeps going forward! Mansour and his cornerman, that is.

All Vasquez here so far

Think Vasquez biggest flaw is cutting up. Stop falling into head and shoulder mauling with Martinez and sharpshoot . Heating up here

Vasquez fighting Martinez fight in 4th.

Wonder about the significance of the 215 on Vasquez's back.
Probably something from his military background perhaps.

Eddie Murphy in the audience

Crude cagey and walking Vasquez in a bit. Looks stuck between styles

Mark Kiegel?, I think, I really starting to get on my nerves!

What?!?!?

Another fighter quits?

Son of a bitch..... what the hell happened here?

You gotta be shitting me. Martinez opts out. Disappointing all around

Stools a popular place tonight

Tell me about it.

The last 3 fights I've seen have been stoppages due to injuries or exhaustion.

Charles Martin and the 2 fights tonight so far.

"We're now being told it's not the hand, but the elbow."
"Wait.... we have another update.... it seems it's really the forearm."
"I'm sorry..... no.... it's the knee. Yeah.... that's it..... the knee."


:rolleyes:
