Saddam Ali v the Mexican fellow they tried to get in to replace Canelo against ggg.

(spoiler)

All the GGG haters and people complaining about Muniga being his opponent will be gutted if they're bothered to watch this.

How the funk the Ring prospect of the year was deemed not worthy by Nevada to face GGG is ridiculous. Ali ain't no great shake shakes but still... for a man that beat Cotto he shouldn't have even been in the ring with the massive Mexican puncher.

End of third round here(I know the fight is actually over)... It's a good one, vargas looks to be the more skilled guy and he starts the rounds off well but his opponent keeps coming and lands good ones in the third minute of the round, I have to think vargas will wear him down and he will run out of energy but still vargas is getting hit well.

Vargas opponent's name is spelt - Billy Goat Leaping Left Hooker.

Bloody hell that's almost as bad as his real name....

Vargas is looking good at times but then the fellow with heavy eyebrows is hitting him good later on in the rounds. No idea on the score cards, I think it should be fairly even.

It's sort of funny(actually not really humorous at all) that soviet fellow has a few defeats and not so many wins, compared to vargas, the soviet looks to be a mug on paper but this git Is pretty good.

If you're listening to Max, Jim and Roy... Vargas is Juan Manuel Marquez (he knows Nacho Beristan) and Azat is Gatti (he's a crowd pleaser who gets punched in the face a lot).

Azat is a solid little tough guy but Vargas is a really poor "world" champ, especially being an undefeated Mexican and all. The guy is getting mullered against anyone a bit decent (i've been losing money betting against him since he scrapped past Gavin McDonnel, probably will go through his career unbeaten).

I am listening to them... And they do mention nacho a lot :S....


I am sure vargas height and reach has helped him before but the Armenian chap is really getting past it, maybe he's not a great but it makes for fun watching, I have enjoyed this fight. Last round being shown here now,.

[palmerq]

Oh dear 118 for vargas.... I didn't think so, maybe I'm drunk but I think the areminian gave a good account of himself and was certainly close to winning.

[palmerq]

Oh dear Ali is down int the first round.... Munguia landed a good hook to the body too just before the knockdown..... Did hbo set up poor sadam Ali for a KO here... Down for a second time... Ali upset someone by beating cotto.... Munguia is very big.
