<-CutMeMicks Ringside Exclusive of Martinez-Bunema, Angulo-Andrey & Gamboa-Ramirez->

[CutMeMick]

I gotta start off by saying I didn't think Angulo looked good. I thought he looked much slower then usual and he just looked flat.
Like he had no energy in there in the very early rounds. He looked almost un motivated at times.
Even after the fight while everyone was cheering and around him in the lobby he seemed distraut and just not fully there.

I thought the fight should have been stopped a lot sooner by his corner.
Somewhere around the 8th round...
I mean Tsurkan was landing the left but that's about it. Plus the shots were very few and far apart.

Tsurkans promoter was sitting about 5 people next to me and he kept yelling at Tsurkan to stand there and trade but to use his waist more.

I thought to myself "Stand there and trade" are you fucken kidding me. Theres no way Tsurkan hits harder then Angulo why would he trade?









Angulo is greated by his wife.

Up next was Sergio "Marvilla" Martinez vs. Alex Bunema for the WBC Interim title.

What a fight man, Sergio boxed brilliant I don't know if you guys got the same feel to his style from the TV but from ringside he looked untouchable there for most of the fight.

Notes:

Antonio Margarito was there ringside.
Sergio Mora was there ringside.
Armando Muniz was there ringside.

Once again I couldn't get a pic. with Lennox Lewis as he was mobbed by the people.

As I mentioned Alex Bunema walked into the ring wearing a bathroom robe from the hotel.
One of Bunemas people could have been manager was kicked out from ringside as he kept yelling throughout the fight.

Sergio Martinez had about 2 rows full of fans from Spain. They were all wearing Sergio Martinez shirts and had banners.

I wanted to punch Ahmet Oener when I 1st saw him. Just looking at him I didn't like him. You can hear me talking shit in 1 of the videos about him

At one point Lennox Lewis and Sergio Martinez were talking and Lennox was giving Martinez advice on how to throw his jab better. Lennox told him that he needed to step in when throwing the jab. Saying that Martinez would not step in. Lennox threw about 3 jabs to show Martinez what he meant. They shook hands and took pics.

So you got to sit ring side. Best damn seat in the whole arena.

[No Contest]

I was a little let down by the card, I thought we were in for a nice triple header, but it was mostly uneventful. Martinez did steal the show.

[hfahrenheit]

Agreed- thought Martinez looked pretty untouchable; would like to see him take the next step up in competition.

I also side with Kellerman's take that Gamboa is just going to get himself knocked out with the rushes and the flurries... my question is (never seen this guy fight before), is all that athleticism covering up for a lack of boxing skill? If some guy he was able to knockout so quickly was also able to floor him (elbow or no elbow) just as quickly, what's he going to do when someone actually makes him box?

[CutMeMick]

thanks for the pics Mick. You put the fights in backwards though right?? I mean Gamboa was last on HBO, Martinez first. Anyway I thought it was a helluva card for boxing after dark.

Tsurkan should have not been allowed to fight so long.

I will rep when I can.

Gamboa looks very cocky to me. I guess he has the right to be. But it is quite a step up to world opposition....compared to Tsurkan.

Glad you enjoyed yourself.

P.S. Baldo looked very very old and fat. But you looked good Mick .

Thanks for the comment booze...

Excellent shots and footage. The comments about Gamboa's seeming cockiness and large entourage sound unnerving. He's barely had a dozen fights yet and he's building himself up like he's Mike Tyson! I hope he was just in an off mood and the rest is all just a front....for his sake.

The Baldomir pic was good. Baldomir looked ancient, but maybe that was just because he was up against Mick. Dunno.

You know the deal miles...

Quality work mate!

Thanks...

Good work Rob, like always ....one day it will be me taking pictures with the stars haha quality stuff man, i really enjoyed the thread thanks

You my boy mike I told you, when you come out here let me know we'll head out and hang out.

Gamboas got a solid amateur back ground...
Actually one of the most solid amateurs in recent times.
He's def. skilled but he still fights very much like an amateur at times.
You can check him out on YouTube there's several of his fights there.
