Brian Castano v Erislandry Lara - Ortiz v Hammer on Showtime

[TitoFan]

Paulie said what many were probably thinking, he did him a favor he moves up he gets canned.

Yeah. Too many technical flaws to be able to move up. One thing that stood out was how he was always punching out of range, missing a great deal. Some of it was Ramirez moving back..... but a lot of it was De Gracia swinging his punches while keeping his upper body upright or even leaning back. You'll never reach the opponent punching like that.

Definitely, not the best term but clunky and mechanical kept coming to mind. He moved like he had to think about it first and Ramirez just made it work against him for the finish.

Was interested in the Wu Tang doc before Raekwon called Canelo his favorite boxer

Didn't want to be the first to say it.

[TitoFan]

Well..... the first fight was entertaining. This one should be too. King Kong vs. The Hammer.

Ortiz looks like he's been working the shoulders with weights. Or eating steaks . Hammer needs one.

[TitoFan]

Gonna go out on a limb and say it probably won't last 10 rounds.

As if to make me look bad, the 3rd slowed down to a comparative crawl.

[Spicoli]

Have to love that power jab of Ortiz. One of the better in division. Hammer really sitting down on that counter right hand and getting a few in as he goes back.

[Spicoli]

Hammer found some life mid 5th but Ortiz regains control at end, both with leaky noses now. Decent enough scrap.

[TitoFan]

Hammer looking more and more like a barroom brawler as the rounds go by.

[Spicoli]

Sharp round from Ortiz, lots of in and out. Hammer staying close

[Spicoli]

Oh need a replay on that! Knees of Ortiz dipped off Hammer punch, Hammer walking in looking to counter. Sure looked like a glove touch KD

[Kirkland Laing]

Evening chaps. Doesn't look like Hammer is going to last very long.

Looks like he's on the way to getting nailed...

[Kirkland Laing]

He's still there.

[Spicoli]

Fun 2nd! Replay doesn't show what made Ortiz touch glove, no punch or push. Hammer hurt bad in the body later in round.
