Danny Garcia vs Samuel Vargas and Fortuna vs Douglas on Spike

Well it took awhile but steady pace of live fights lately. Danny makes his homecoming in the assumed cakewalk but we can hope Samuel Vargas makes a fight of it. Formality fight with Thurman date in March..we'll see. Decent main event :-X is Javier Fortuna fighting Omar Douglas Lts. Jarrett Hurd 18-0 vs Ionut Don Ion 35-3 also. Good opportunity for Hurd to be seen here.

Not the spectacular card we look for ;D but I just watched two heavyweights play shuffle board for 12 rounds.

Douglas and Fortuna up first. Wonder how much of that physical rush Douglas will get away with much much sharper but recently ko'd Fortuna.

what the dickens is going on in this first round :S and how much do the dreadlocks weigh?

:o Huuuuge counter by Douglas as he was being blitzed!!

I ask again can it help absorb punches. Like a fookin stabilizer ;D

That first round was very intense... turned it on 10 seconds into the fight and it just went mental ... they cant keep this up

Top notch combination punching by Fortuna right there. Boxing wise now and Douglas can't catch up.

Fortuna at his pace 3-2 over five. Douglas is going to sponge some punches to get in but Fortuna can be hurt. Shitload of clinching in 6th

they are making another alien film, i think douglas good make a convincing xenomorph if he keeps that hair net on

Tough 6th. In spots Fortuna is sharp at range, next second he's holding on and feeling the weight and making it ugly. Up to Douglas here, he can move him. Very active ref in 7th :-X Douglas clipped him hard with uppercut there!

Like the physical of Douglas in 7th and wear is visible on Fortuna. KD in first may be huge, somehow someway 76-75 Fortuna up now. Scary thing I agree with Farhood

Douglas is seriously missing an opportunity here. Needs to go all out in 10th. Fortuna is the definition of timing out the clock here, looks weary.

Gotta be kidding with this falling over stuff :p No tomorrows Douglas, get on it!! Brutal exchange midway 10th! Good pot shots at rounds end for him. Good scrap have 95-94, probably wider Fortuna

What a strange fight :S first and last rounds were pretty great and a lot of holding and stuff in the middle, overall i found it fun, looks like fortuna wins it tohugh

What I've seen of Hurd is pretty good. Poor Jo Jo looks like he just woke up ??? Hopefully Hurd is pushed.

Man he looks massive compared, Jebus

poor dan he really does look a bit like a hobbit here :S

Hurd punching through him like he was made of wet newspaper. Like the way Hurd churns punches on the inside.

Hurd looks fairly good but really he is fighting someone who looks to be at least 2 weight classes below him :S the size difference is huge

Hurd a bit lackadaisical in spots though. WTF was that??? Hurd needs to tighten up and execute. Dan should get a fookin bonus for taking that nut shot

That's a brilliant low blow ! right on the testicles good work hurd ! amazing ! dan recovered quick from that

This looks to be a pretty pointless fight to me, dan wasn't even a champion at the lower weights and the size difference is so big I don't see what hurd is learning from this fight, although i think they said dan was a replacement but still I don't see this as being useful for hurd.

Hurd has left his jab in the cab tonight. Don't like seeing the assumptions made by young guys with all the advantages. Giving up too much skill to load up and sloppy. Then again he is hammering Dan into the ground overtime.

Kind of fight where a hyped fighter can learn bad habits and become incorporated into approach later with better comp. Needs to press get it over

Well ok that works too. Merciful corner for Dan. Time for Hurd to step up and sharpen up.

corner stops it... good choice, dan isnt a donkey he was just way undersized in this one, I don't think this did hurd much good at all. Jo jo dan fought very bravely though hats off to him.

As they go to commercial "Sure Garcia has a fight up next but when we come back we're talking Garcia-Thurman" ;D

god..this is why I pray for boxing upsets :jesus:

Man, I had a feeling fights we're aired tonight. Something told me to come to this forum as soon as I woke up this morning, and in regretfully didn't.

Hate that I missed the Hurd fight. I just tuned into the main event at the end of the 1st round.

Garcia looks bulked up a bit. Full control with left hooks much stronger. Vargas needs to bring the foot stool out. Woah Vargas just dropped hard and does a stuntman like roll over ;D

oh wow that was a nice knockdown... vargas seems to be still with it tohugh

Garcia is tattooing him with that right.

Jo Jo Dan and Vargas need to share a pitcher of beer after this. Left eye is a mess! Garcias fight to end into the 4th round. Compact punching by Garcia

Vargas going to the 6th. Didn't expect that, Vargas has a beard tonight. Danny bit hook happy.

Vargas beat around last minute there. Wobbled and ears ringing for days

:rolleyes: Great wrestling throw down by Garcia. That was cheap dude.

Good call by corner with towel. Vargas all brass but battered on ropes for Garcia tko in 7. Power game by Garcia all night. Bring on Thurman

Vince McMahon and PT Barnum would have loved that screaming match ring center ;D

being honest..I'm not sure Thurman takes those body shots

Primo and batman this is on spike tonight 10pm
