Robeisy Ramirez vs Rafael Espinoza Dec. 9 ESPN

[Spicoli]

Huh. Hunter bluffing and tapping his way thru early 4th. Polanco not doing much of anything except waiting on brick finisher. Meanwhile he just gave that round away.

[Spicoli]

Polanco playing with his food. Eat already! Hunter working with what he has, long but active sticks and varying levels. OHHH Hunter buzzed him badly with a temple shot. Love it. Big round Hunter

[Spicoli]

He got complacent he got cute and he got caught with a silly punch. Awkward shot but served its purpose.

[Spicoli]

Hunter rocked in corner off left hook and hurt bad, falls ruled slip and ref waves it as Hunter reels. Not keen on the stoppage very end of round. Hunter loses his shit and pushes ref ? then bolts out of ring and arena. He's livid. Polanco tko 6th. That was a crazy ending.

[TIC]

early stoppage

[Spicoli]

Francisco Daniel Veron out of Argentina vs Jahi Tucker. It's an old unwritten rule to never dismiss rugged fighters from Argentina . Always seem to either be pretty solid or pretty bad. Not much middle ground. Also reads like a natural middleweight.

[TIC]

good first round. jahi in tough

[TIC]

i've given the first two rounds to francisco. jahi needs to be careful he doesn't lose a point for punching after the ref calls stop

[Spicoli]

Veron 1st looks fluid and strong. If a fighter is ranked in the top ten then this should be a 10 rounder but set for 8. Ballsy step for Tucker, and a little 'sink or swim' by Top Rank. Nice to see.

[Spicoli]

Pretty solid 2nd Tucker. Has the stick working overtime and coming underneath with right uppercuts. Varon needs to take a look around and realize he's not back home.

[Spicoli]

Dang! Veron snaps him with sweeping left hook in corner. Good shots via right hand for Tucker but he doesn't have weight behind his punches and cannot deter Veron. Very close edge to Tucker. 3-2 Veron

[Spicoli]

This should definitely be 10 rounds.

[TIC]

This should definitely be 10 rounds.

it's rare i add an eight rounder to the prediction contest but this fight was too good to leave off this round

[TIC]

gave the seventh to jahi

[TIC]

gave jahi the eighth. i've got francisco winning by four points. jahi can still come again but he needs to work on his jab
