Just don't tell me what happened!

[Kirkland Laing]

Jesus. Granados comes through this to win. What a tough hombre.

Sorry about that bud. screwed the pooch. Didn't think they'd show Imam as it was on separate network

Great upset though

[armin]

Will one of you fine fellas let me know when the bute fight comes on. At a buds house that only watch fights from dudes that are still around when he watched a lot

No problem man. Iman's feet have slowed to nothing and the only time he moves his head is to get in the way of a punch he was avoiding. Granados full of fight.

That kind of reminded me of a pearl of wisdom that Teddy Atlas used to say at least twice a fight in the Fight Night boxing computer games. "If you don't practice head movement in a gym, you aren't going to start moving your head once you're in the ring". I may have paraphrased, but Imam's team clearly didn't think they'd have any defensive issues, so didn't even train for it.

Alvarez and Chilemba up now. Anything straight gives Alvarez problems. Still on delay over there?

Round 1 is just about to end. Fortunately you can tell exactly when this is by the accurate time stamp on Saddoboxing. Mods. Can you sort the fucking time stamp out please?

[Violent Demise]

It will be obvious early on if Bute has anything left

I know a guy that sparred with Imam. He told me he was all fast hands and flash; couldn't fight at all inside. They flew him to NY but sent him home after 3 days but paid him for the week.

Hides the blood sprays. I prefer it to white. You can't beat light blue with a massive Budweiser logo though.

[No Contest]

The announcer team seemed to only see Chilemba doing work. I really get annoyed when they try to influence how viewers see the fight.

[superheavyrhun]

Not a great fight, but I thought the card was a little odd, with that one wide decision for Alvarez which I couldn't see. Nonetheless, Chilemba is a bit of an acquired taste and like Sakio Bika, I can see why some judges wouldn't give him too much.

Anyway, it does suggest that if DeGale intends to take it to the cards, he will need to be dominant to get the nod.
