"Subriel Matias-Jeremias Ponce: IBF Schedules Nov. 15 Purse Bid For Overdue Vacant Title Fight"


This should be (if it happens) an incredibly entertaining fight. Lot of punching power between the two. Last time out it was Ponce with VISA problems that derailed the fight. Let's hope those issues have been cleared up.

this fight could happen on january seventh or january twenty eighth

Duly circled on my calendar. ;D

this could be another bonza fight

Main should be a busy fight. Ponce bit of a mystery from Argentina where they can be real hot and teak tough or so so. Doesn't seem to be much middle ground. Looked all up for close exchanges v Riston with some jagged type punches inside uppers. Should be good.

both guys made weight & are ready to fight

kudratillo abdukakhorov lost in a minor upset

Elvis Rodriguez vs Joseph Adorno up first.

elvis rodriguez v joseph adorno just about to start

Freddie Roach still going. Man. Good crowd there. Already getting restless with a round of all jabs.

Well well... let's score that first round even. :D

On aside, I can't quite figure out that Adorno beard style. Rodriquez going for the Menace to Society 'O_Dog' look. Things beginning to open up in 3rd.

FINALLY... a little bit of sustained action at the end of the 4th. Adorno with the slight edge, I think.

One of these guys is going to need to decide on commitment. Little bit of keep away stab jabs and pose from Adorno. Rodriquez prodding and nervous energy but hesitant to walk thru the door. Oh nice little exchange to end 4th finally.

i've got adorno ahead by one point after five rounds

that should have been a knockdown against elvis, joseph landing some good shots in the sixth

It has become a full-fledged fight in the 6th. ;D

Nice exchanges by both guys. Adorno should stay off the ropes.

Adorno good 6th. Nice 1-2 from Rodriquez at last minute mark. Replay looked like a high hook dropped Elvis. Farhood does not like Adorno ;D

:o ohh beautiful right hook from Elvis! Had Adorno out on feet

joseph down in the seventh, looked hurt but fought back well to survive the round

Alright!! What a 7th round! That left hook almost got Adorno out of there. How he survived is beyond me. AND... he's still dangerous. He hit back with some good shots of his own.
Tremendous round!!

Awesome 7th. Good things take time :-X. Rodriquez needs to force the shoot out, now or never.

Like Rodriquez in gritty 8th. Adorno telling ref of headbutt after sliding with another right hook bomb.

joseph has a chin

elvis taking over

He's all beard :D. Thank you, tip your waiters.

Last half has turned into a little style vs fire. But decent 10th for Adorno. Can see cards al...oh never mind. Adorno down again but up. Rodriquez surged strong.

i've got elvis winning by four points

Adorno was game... but Rodriguez won going away and comfortably.

Wait... someone scored it a draw??

To be fair to Adorno, he was giving away a couple of inches in reach and height... plus I didn't realize he was going up in weight. Elvis def looked like the bigger, stronger fighter. But Adorno was game and feisty in there.

one judge is on drugs & scored it a draw, the other two give it to elvis

94-94 sounds like it was filled out in the Hotel room prior to arriving.

5 foot 7 versus 6 foot 1.5 inches??

Damn... I hate these fights. :-\
