Australias two gifts tonight.

[Andre]

One was the gift decision to Lenny Zaparanga over Fernando Angulo.

Angulo was the guy who used to run off from home as a kid and go live in the Jungle.
Tough fella,the younger Zappa was moving forwards and hittng him with some bombs and flush combos early on,he took the first 5 but then the experience and the will power of Fernando took over for all of 7 rounds and he made Zappa miss and pay dearly. There was a head clash,but the ref mistakenly nominated it by a hit, and zappa got a very nasty cut laceration over his left eye right through the eyelid;so that nearly threatened to stop the fight a few times from the 6th on.In the mid rounds the ref took a point off Fernando for hitting the cut eye on the break. First time no prior warning. 50/50 on that.
Was a hell of a fight though very tough ! with two men evenly matched in 60% skill only, but heart and will power over youth at the end of the day. But the judges scored it unanimously for the youth! who eventually looked like he had taken on a bus head on while the vet looked clean and fresh.
The last few rounds were made of both holding one arm and fighting with the other arm so it was let go alot. Zappa flurrying shots on the breaks that were glances at the best because he was drained, but still game. But the Ecuadorian Jungle boy made him pay harder with flush shots on the breaks and when he lurched forwards he was caught commming. So that was a gift to the younger man and the future interest he can generate for boxing in my book.



The next was the gift of a fight Given to Vic Darchinian on a platter to defend his two world titles against the young raw Rodrigo Guerrero who has the heart of all Mexico behind him and a Chin to match, Vic couldnt put him away and won every round. Still two judges gave two rounds to the mexican fuk knows how! Vic walked over this poor 22 year old kid.

Vic gave the kid props and said I could not stop him !! , Vic then called out Nonito Donaire held up the belts and said "Here are the two belts come and get them or I have to move up in weight and take on some real champions."



P.S. I only bought this fight in cause it was only $ 29 .90.
