Good heads up on this one Master. Think it's a really nice fight on paper. Have to favor Ramirez to eventually make it a dog fight and keep Pedraza still. But sometimes ol Pedraza doesn't get the cred he may deserve, when he's 'on' his multi punch accuracy with that movement is nice to watch.

This Joet Gonzalez fight is action packed. Santisima is tough as nails but Gonzalez is giving him a beating and Satisima is giving a bit of hurt back

Ref stoppage, sucks, but Satisima had taken a beating

Torrez Jr built like a heavyweight fire hydrant. This should be interesting ;D

Wtf was that ???. Ref waves the fight and commission come in to overrule him

Spicoli. I didn’t know you were into bum fights haha

This is…a…..something

Oh, he has a vagina on his forehead

That was some old school Larry Hazzard influencing the fight stuff. Annnd he's down again

The 3rd KD he was hurt

Loved when they were both spazzing

Just about ;D. Gonna be a long road for Torrez :-X

His mom looks like she can kick arse and smoke 3 packs of Virginia Slims.

Her arms were toned and her face was worn

Why is this on so late? I have to work tomorrow morning. Hoping this is quick but not expecting it

They really have to get these cards back to primetime. These main event starts at midnight catch up :-X. Better make that coffee black

Ramirez looking to straight mug him but not reckless. Setting up nice off Pedraza center line, hooks to follow.

This is a fun style clash here. Ramirez 1st and thought Pedraza was on point sharp boxing in 3rd. Size is obvious for Ramirez but Pedraza picking his shots

close enough to be a draw

Completely fell off last night after missing a couple rounds. 6 am comes early ;D. One drawback of these apps, no network time constraints to get the show moving. Caught the second half earlier had Ramirez taking it about 7-5. Pedraza was still clipping him late and footwork was solid for the most part, but Ramirez reasserted with the pressure and banged it out. Be very interesting to see how 140 plays out when Taylor jumps up.

I thought Ramirez won the fight with ease. He was bigger, busier and better than Pedraza who fought too cautiously.

I like Pedraza. He's consistent in what he does... always gives a hell of an effort. Unfortunately, he's just not an elite level fighter. Hey... not everyone fits at the top of the heap. For every elite fighter there are dozens of very good fighters.
