FS1 fight night: Elbiali v Pascal-Perrella v Martin-Big Juicer Ortiz v Martz

[Spicoli]

Decent card on a much needed Friday night of fisticuffs. Interesting main event with undefeated one man wrecking crew Ahmed Elbiali 16-0 taking his first big test with long in the tooth Jean Pascal 31-5-1. Two totally different ends of careers here. Not entirely sold much on Elbiali. Big heart big punch but still raw and seriously lacks quality rounds. Pascal looks to be well on the other side but I'm stubbornly stuck on experience and if he keeps a level head and avoids exchanging should be too cagey .

Welterweights Alex Martin 13-2 and 14-1 Bryant Perrella face off in co main. Also they have managed to slide Luis Ortiz into a tv spot to fill cancelled Dawson-Rodriquez slot. He fights a biggun one Daniel Martz 16-5-1. Card kicks off in 40 minutes Fox Sports 1.

[Spicoli]

Undefeated Stephen Fulton 11-0 v Adam Lopez 8-0 first up.

[Spicoli]

Fulton could do a paint job if 1st any indication. Much sharper guy, Lopez seriously coming on though late 2nd round! Has Fulton rocked. Won that round right back.

[Spicoli]

No shit...Lopez the son of hard battler Olympic medalist Hector Lopez RIP. One who boxed the ears a bit of a young Kostya Tszyu. 2-1 Fulton so far.

[Spicoli]

Nose of Lopez really mashed up in 4th. Fulton very ring aware, pot shotting and getting away. Lopez trying switch hitting and roughing up, very good combo early 5th for Lopez. Fulton has spots where his back hits the ropes and he just stops. Fulton with glossy right but Lopez walks through and fires back.

[Spicoli]

Lopez needs something devastating. Fulton separating the skill gap in 6th and 7th, starting to get cocky and stand in front for sharp counters.

[Spicoli]

Better final round for Lopez and pressure until the bell but surely not enough. Score in at 76-76..78-74..77-75 Fulton.

[Spicoli]

Perrella and Martin opening bell. Martin still hasn't cut that hair. Long year out for Perrella.

[Spicoli]

Perrella drops him hard! Martin smaller and far less confident of the two. Huge right hook caught Martin flush

[Spicoli]

Perrella pretty smart aggression here, double jab to hook body to one-two up top. Walking down Martin all of 2nd and picking his shots. Don't know if Martin has anything to keep him off or at least make him blink but he better find it quick!

[Spicoli]

Wilder in crowd to watch Ortiz, they cut this to 8 rounds to give Ortiz co main spot. WBC will have Ortiz as mandatory before we're opening gifts Christmas morning, no doubt .

Perrella less active 3rd but still in control. 3-0

[Spicoli]

Sharp jab comes to life for Martin start of 4th, then gets rocked by Perrella. Martin moves really well but Perrella does the moving when he connects and harder shots. Posturing by Martin end of round. Have Perrella 4-0

[Spicoli]

I must be watching a different fight than PBC crew on the mic. "Even fight"..not so much . Martin is punching from the backseat with a few counters but hardly asserting a tide turn here. Perrella simply needs to let the hands go off jab. 5-0 Perrella

[Spicoli]

Baseball analogies..oh for fucks sake . 5-1 Perrella

[Spicoli]

Not pretty in 7th both slow, Martin with more crisp counters and Peter Pans it to get away. Perrella needs to mash the gas in final round, 5-2 Perrella
