HBO After Dark!

[Mars_ax]

9-0 Vic, his left uppercut cannot miss. DelValles legs are starting to go two different directions but he's taking em

Roy goes from saying the corner should 'save their fighter and think of future' to saying he's earned the right to continue...sights Chavez as an example based on landing a clean punch in 9th and knocking him off balance

Roy and kellerman going back and forth...Kellerman is the consistent one

I can listen to Bob Papa as well, but not RJJ.

I've been guilty of watching fights in the past just to watch Smoger ref...one of the absolute best going!

Rodriquez bombing him bad here, mouth piece out and Escalera rocked by the cruiserweight

[Spicoli]

I'll be shocked if Escalera makes it out of 2nd...he looks done!

[Spicoli]

Rodriquez took his foot off the gas in 2nd, not sure what that was. Escalera looks stiff but righted the ship. 2-0 Rodriquez

Be interested to see if a guy packin on 20 lbs gasses a bit. Hope so

[Spicoli]

I think Escalera is spitting his piece on purpose but Smoger says fight on..he is really starting to bust up...Escalera given 5 minutes on low blow and walks right back in. Not smart. This is getting gritty inside and Rodriquez looking a bit sloppy now. 4-0 Rodriquez

[Spicoli]

Rodriquez hurts Escalera badly with temple shot then backs off and does absolutely nothing...he poses, pops right and plays around. Time to close the show...this is HBO.

[Spicoli]

7-0 Rodriquez...another wide bomb and Smoger waves it off at start of 8th. Escalera was on stilts and short circuited bad. Good stoppage.

[Mars_ax]

Good quality fight, so far Escalera is takin' a shellacking from Rodriquez.

[Mars_ax]

Rodriquez has this one in the bag, Escalera would need a KO to win now, I don't think he's won a round and he looks like a beaten fighter.

[Mars_ax]

I don't see what's keeping Escalera up, Smoger mercifully ends it, 8th round TKO for Rodriquez. Good job.

[Kirkland Laing]

Mismatch. If Escalera doesn't go down Smoger better not let him take a hammering.
