Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Was seriously looking forward to Xander Zayas in the co main but he was forced to withdraw due to a viral infection. So Berlanga who is getting some guff after looking subpar in last couple and labeled a major hype train now is the whole show. I'm not ready to write him off just think the promotion went over the edge with all the KO KO KO KO talk and along the way Berlanga fell into line thinking it was all that mattered. They've done it backwards with him and now he has to learn on the job vs slightly capable recent opponents. Angulo tonight is a respectable step here in that he's been in with a few top dogs, losing 12 to Zurdo Rameriez and suffering a 10th round tko to David Benavidez. Also took a close decision W over undefeated Anthony Sims Jr. So, a good measuring stick of a sort for Berlanga and really like to see him box a little bit rather than swing for the fences.
Time wise this is airing really late, maybe 11-Midnight here. Guess they're trying to get behind the Ufc ppv :-X.

Thanks for the separate thread, Spicoli. :)
Yeah... I'd like not to write Berlanga off just yet. Kinda reminds me of the start Juan Manual Lopez had to his career. String of impressive, quick knockouts... then he ran into Orlando Salido.... TWICE.

Lebron getting after Lebron now. Really turning it up
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
So the co-feature is a spirited scrap.
I predict it'll be won by Lebrón, the Puerto Rican fighter. The one in the blue trunks. ;D ;D
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Lebron was moving and firing off combos but the pressure from Lebron has gotten to Lebron. Can Lebron make it to the bell? I’ve got Lebron with the lead, but will the judges see it for Lebron instead?

I think hell may be freezing over...actually impressed with Haney here and like how he's keeping it real ???. He's settled a bit. Dude flat dismisses Garcia ouch.

Didn’t really watch these ESPN cards until recently, what is with these huuuuge breaks between fights?
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Damn... 12 am. I might go down for the count if this doesn't start soon. :cwm33:

Yeah. It's not like the previous fight ended in the 2nd round or something like that.

And no 40-year-old man should walk around still answering to "Timmy".

It's a terrible shit trend now. Everything has to be fake "ppv massive". They stretched the Haney and Sparta George fella card to ridiculous heights. Feel like I'm watching MtV Spring Break with the crowd shots.
Makes you miss FNF cards ;D
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Angulo looks a bit chunky in there. Firing some good right hands, though. I think he got Berlanga's attention with one of them. Should be interesting.
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Angulo's got deceptively quick hands and a good straight right hand, obviously his strongest punch. I hope Berlanga adapts.
Re: Edgar Berlanga v Roamer Alexis Angulo ESPN
Sounds odd but Angulo with the more jarring stuff in close. Berlanga checks the overhead clock. Oh nice close by Berlanga, he stood him still with that combo. Berlanga fighting smart but giving up room too
