ESPN Magdaleno v Dogboe ~ Jennings v Dawejko

3 cards being televised tonight all set to collide. This one is fairly decent with early start time, 6 pm here. The main event has 25-0 Jesse Magdaleno vs 18-0 and little known Issac Dogboe. Love to see the underdog come over and pull off the surprise!

Once beaten Jesse Hart will take on 18-2-1 Demond Nicholson spr middles. Also Shakur Stevenson vs 12-0 Roxberg Patrick Riley.

The one to see for me is Bryant Jennings v Joey Dawejko heavyweights. Jennings has picked up the pace after losing to Ortiz with this being his 4th start in 8 months. Good little Philly match here, Dawejko doesn't look it but he's pretty crafty and should make for a good mix up.



* There's also a PBC card starting at 7:30 pm. Josesito Lopez v Miguel Cruz. Anthony Dirrell v Abraham Han. Jorge Lara v Claudio Marrero

This is on box nation too

Nice fight unfolding with Dawejko and Jennings over 3. Dawejko warned a couple times for low blows but he's sneaking in some short counters on Jennings. Guy is built like a tree stump but good hands.

This is make or break for Jennings. For a guy who has run with some big dogs in division he needs to make this obvious regional vs world class. He's waiting around too long here.

Dawejko landed a nice combo, ending with an uppercut in the 3rd. Nice use of the left.

Jennings boxing nicely behind his jab in the 4th

Like this ref. Not over involved and tries to let them work inside. Jennings trying to steal 5th with late right. Jennings sharp with jab in 6th.

This should be wide for Jennings.

Jennings putting his punches together last couple of rounds and got back to controlling the real estate. Think he did enough, maybe 97-93.

well judges have 98-92 across the board. Still though, if he's going to make a push at top ranks he needs to get going!

Hart looked great for 99 percent of that 1st. Then rocked bad right at bell!

Looked like a hometown knock down of Nicholson in 3rd. Right hand missed by a foot. Ok second one looks legit ;D. Nicholson hurt.

Hart with the 7th round ko after ref seriously botches it. Very odd. Since when do refs stop a 10 count on a kneeling fighter and tell guys to get up get up???. Nicholson wanted out in the worst of ways.

good to see a commissioner pull ref aside and dress him down.

Can I just say that if Dogboe is impressive here, he could be a big star.

Dog got a bit wary in the 2nd after the knockdown, loves the left hook

Fun fight. Both having their moments in the 2nd. Dogboe getting hit more often tho.

Mag looks a lot bigger/stronger and more seasoned (naturally)

Nice little counters by Dogboe end of 3rd. Seems to be handling power of Magdaleno better here.

:o oh how the tide has turned!

Dog made Mag think about going toe-to-toe for a second there, good fight

When he gets that squat center of gravity into shot Dogboe does damage! Huge 5th there.

How did Mag comeback from that, what a shot. Dog might have missed the boat, needs to reserve something

Dog seems to be hurting him every other time now, I have him edging ahead

Pretty close, 5-3 Dogboe, a knockdown a piece so far.

Magdaleno took the 9th.

Magdaleno rocked again and riding the ropes. Legs folding up under him. Think it's Dogboes to lose now he's pulling away.

Big 10th for Dogboe, hurt Magdaleno to the body.

Wow, that's a very powerful statement. Love to see a big underdog come over and rip victory away.

Great finish. Dogboe puts Jessie down twice to end it.

Fun stuff there, very happy for Dogboe

Fantastic win for Dogboe, thought he looked out of his depth after the 1st but the knockdown did him a favour, learnt on the job quick.

That's two lovely 3/1 upsets i've had tonight (sorry for the aftertiming) but most important i stole Master's points in the comp.

Just watched the fight. Dogboe was impressive. His body work won him the fight. I think that Magdaleno would have come back if it weren’t for the body work. He was just exhausted by the end.

Still can't believe Magdaleno got up after that huge right. That was impressive. Hope it doesn't lead to symptoms later on. It's the shots after you've been concussed that really mess your head up.

Hard part about boxing fandom that. Wanting to see these men be heroic and knowing it's terrible for them to do so.

It took him 3 rounds to recover. You rarely see someone take more than a round to recover. It was a huge shot that lost him the fight. I think Magdaleno wins a close decision in a rematch.

The layoff didn't help Jessie any in that fight either. I wouldn't mind a rematch down the track. Nice break out fight for Dogboe.

I must say I love Dogboe's bodywork.
