Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Pretty solid main event with talented speed merchant wba 154 champ (one of them) Brian Carlos Castano 15-0 (11) looking to make a statement against ex wba 154 champ (another one) 25-3-2 (14). Lara is coming in off a brutal war with wba champ Jarrett Hurd (he's the 'super' one) and will be facing a much different style in Castano. Outside of some amatuer opposition a sizable step up for Castano. Truth be told outside of Hurd same can be said of Lara recently. I like Castano close.
Also Luis Ortiz continues his rebuild to another major fight taking on Christian Hammer. Featherweight Bryan De Garcia 24-1-1 out of Panama makes his U.S debut v Eduardo Ramirez 21-1-3 (8 ). Barclays is seeing some consistent action.

Sucks Ortiz is a cheat, dude is right there with the very best in the division. But they can steer clear until he is just too old. Would love to see him beat the snot out of Povetkin but Povetkin wants none of that smoke.

He'll always have that knock against him, but feels like Ortiz has been called old for a few years now and you can't argue with the date of birth. But he was on the brink with Wilder. An impressive ko tonight he'll have done pretty well to get back with better activity level and weight..slightly with weight.

Ready for some non-DAZN boxing. ;) ;D

Good to see a Panamanian up there.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Yes I quite like the wall shaking while enjoying my nightly fisticuffs ;D. First time seeing De Gracia. Has some odd stiff upper body movement.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Not much happening so far between De Gracia and Ramirez. De Gracias hasn't found the range and has missed all sorts of right hands.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Ramirez winning the fight so far for me. He seemed a lot more accurate in that last round, while De Gracia continues to miss badly and often.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Ok so it seems like DeGracia woke up. Had a much better round and won it IMO.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
De Gracia feels increasingly desperate and trying to do too many things at once. Ramirez isn't just touching him often but leaving him in lurches. Finally stands Ramirez still with that right to end 5th good exchange!
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Mauro Ranallo with the built in network plug :p. Better 6th for De Gracia.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Pattern continues. De Gracia charging forward but missing a lot. Ramirez moving an awful lot. I have a similar scorecard as Farhood..... probably De Gracia up by a round right now.
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
Is there any actual evidence or proper suspicions that ortiz is way older than he claims other than him just looking pretty old..
Also what sites host most of the streams these days, what replaced wiziwig/myp2p?

Cute line by Paulie: "What technique?" ;D
Re: Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime
If Ramirez had some pop this might be much different but he's getting caught in some mixes in 8th. Paulie..'what technique' ;D. Tough round to score.
