ESPN FNF - Feb 1st - Carlos Molina vs. Cory Spinks

[Mars_ax]

Holy shit, i didn't think JLC was still fighting. I like Molina over Spinks, but not sure about the JLC fight. Don't know what he has left anymore.

JLC's last fight was in July of 2012 against Ivan Popoca, a fight he won, he didn't look too bad actually, but the hombre has a lot of miles on him.

Castillo looked like a master boxer in that one, nearly flawless. Ivan Popoca was way over his head, and a bit in awe of Castillo, not to mention surprised early by Castillo's punching power.

El Temible is just about shot as far a being matched against legit prospects or even good journeymen. We'll see if Smith falls into the legit prospect category.

The main event could not appear more dull on paper. Molina is boring, but least throws a lot of punches. And Spinks......well I just plain don't like Spinks or his "style".

I agree with what you're saying Hulk, Smith is pretty much a sack of shit with no real power, so I expect Castillo to prevail, just because of his ring experience.
Yes Molina is boring, but Spinks is so fucking shot that I can't see him doing much, I also believe that Spinks is no stranger to the crack pipe.

hahaha

He's tough and was a slick boxer I"ll give him that. But, boring as hell and got a gift against Mayorga and Karmazin. Not to mention Judah I as well.

Some people actually thought he BEAT Jermain Taylor for the MW crown by running.

Man I hope Castillo win, used to be one of my favorite fighters.

Szpilka trying to take Mollo's head off might well be the highlight of the day.

Tonight's fight start in about 10 minutes - just got inside after having a few relaxing friday afternoon Paulaner Salvator (double bock) brews, a six pack of bottles that were brought to me by a friend, that were recommended by a Bavarian fellow he works with. Tasty stuff, with a hell of a kick, 7.9% alc by vol.
Currently sipping on a Shiner Bock.

Here we go, Teddy blithering, Joe blathering, (life is good) 1st up, Antwone Smith vs. Jose Luis Castillo, 10 rounds, welterweights.

[Mars_ax]

[Mars_ax]

Fucking ref, I hope he doesn't DQ Castillo for "low blows"

What a stinker, this has to be one of the worst.

[Freedom]

wildly entertaining fight is correct.

@Freedom - your boy Szpilka ain't going to make it at the top level.

I've never had high hopes for Artur Szpilka. However, like Chris Arreola, he's usually in entertaining fights.

I do have high hopes for Vyacheslav Glazkov.
