Happening an hour down the road here in Sacramento, unfortunately did not know in time to make any plans to attend. Oh well I hate going to Sacramento anyways.
Not a bad card though. I haven't seen Vincente Escobedo since he lost. Was a very hot prospect a couple years ago, an Olympian I am very interested to check his progress. Could put himself right back on the map with a good performance. Or he could get bit by the ESPN upset bug. Hopefully not.
Also see Francisco Santana on the card. I've followed him for a while, saw his pro debut. Used to be trained by McCollough, has some real talent and a lot of potential. Engaged in a very good scrap with San Francisco's Karim Mayfield on the undercard of Ward-Williams in San Jose. Ended up coming short on the judge's scorecard though I had it a draw and most others had Santana winning. Mayfield is a very awkward guy though, everything he has comes jumping from the outside and it gave a fairly textbook guy in Santana something to make him scratch his head. Eventually got it figured out and actually almost stopped him but was too late.
Big guy with a wide stance, good 1,2 and a lot of power. Actually had some people saying he reminded them of a young De La Hoya. I never saw it but a lot of others did. Let's see how he bounces back, I know he'll be looking to impress, think he will.
Never seen this Speedy Gonzalez and I can't put my finger on who Cornelius Lock is but I'm pretty sure I've seen him.
