Alfonso Gomez headlines then Mendez vs. Barthelemy rematch on Fox Sports 1 7/9 & 7/10

[Spicoli]

Wow. Really Saddo brethren This is def not old school..

Anyway...Gomez vs Paredes at the bell. Yippy

[Spicoli]

Fights over. Even with suffering two Kds..one iffy, second legit imo, have Gomez scraping and clawing his way to victory here. Cards inbound...

edit- Gomez WIDE! 99-92 etc etc. Yeh. Off to the next gbp PPV undercard where he can be sparked out..again. He did earn the win here. Paredes looked crap

[beenKOed]

That was a fun fight, Diaz needed that.

GBP had a good, solid, and entertaining card tonight, Diaz Jr. vs Ramiro Robles was very good and reminded me a little of Guerrero vs Kamegai. Nonstop action due to the relentless pressure of Robles. The right guy won, but I thought it was much closer.

Hate to disagree with you, but I had doubts about both those KDs. The thing I couldn't get over was how well Gomez did after a two year layoff. He wants to go for a belt ASAP so I guess this was a tuneup fight for him and his team.
The right guy won, but it seemed like two of the judges ignored the two KDs.

Good fights.

Gomez was just the better, busier and smarter fighter. I honestly felt paderes was very unimpressive for having 35 wins.

Diaz looked sharp and a future titlist or at least contender.

Hahaha. I agree about Diaz and wouldn't be surprised to see Robles standing somewhere very close to him. Robles is a gritty little fucker and relentless, I expected him to slow up but it never happened. That was a very good fight with Robles being a big part of the reason why.

What did you guys think about Diego De La Hoya?

Diego looked good and was finding openings well to land hard shots. Its still too early to tell exactly where he might end up. The guy he fought was tough and not much else.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday?
Saturday Alveraz vs Lara, can't get too much of a good thing.

True but that shit is ppv.

Canelo is NOT a ppv fighter IMO. Not yet.

If his PPV's turn a profit, than he's a PPV fighter. Based on his last couple of PPV, he's a PPV fighter

Canelito's ppv with Angulo did 350,000 buys.

Those are Mayweather/Baldomir numbers.

He is not a ppv fighter.

Yeh the first looked bad, and honestly it looked like Bayliss realized he blew it but still went through the routine. Second was sweeping hook off shoulder then back. No where clean at all but the way Gomez caved down, right leg went out, I'd say it was ok. Gomez has never liked anything to the left side.

Not sure what to make of Diego De La Hoya, way early. Certainly has the fire and picks spots with both hands well. But gives up distance and swaps when not needed, he was getting touched by sloppy shots. One things for certain he did in 6 fights what it took Gary Russell 23 to do and that's ko Tomato.

When I saw where Paredes was from, I remembered that line about him having 35 wins and cracked up. That part of the world is noted for producing guys with gaudy records that can't fight. And Paredes can't fight a lick. Watch the fight and see how many times he throws a right hand and falls out because his balance is bad. Same thing if he throws two punches, his feet aren't right for the third, and the third punch tells when it comes to balance. He is too far on his front foot too often, so he can't close distance or counter.
Gomez shouldn't be misled by this fight. He fought a so-so amateur. The guy couldn't fight at all so he beat him. But he is very very shot. Both 'knockdowns' came because his balance was bad- he was reaching and his legs weren't enough for him. He is slapping every punch he throws, except his jab and he pokes with that.

[beenKOed]

Lubin and Bolanos in the ring now.

Lubin has all the speed and Bolanos can't avoid the punches.
3-0 Lubin

[Spicoli]

Lubin reminds me of someone else who also lays inside, advertises his punches prior and plays to the cameras, but trying to be positive here

If he actually sets up off range and combo, its all over already
