What I learned from last night's fights

[DaxxKahn]

1. Although HUGELY disappointed by JuanMa's loss, I know he'll be back soon enough. He needs to work on his defense, but his offensive firepower and heart will always be there. Congrats to Salido, who was the better man last night. I thought the stoppage was correct. JuanMa was taking too many shots.

2. Amir Khan gets limited credit for his win over McCloskey. McCloskey looked like a rank amateur in there, and would be KTFO'ed by any decent fighter. Sorry.

3. I'm a new fan of Victor Ortiz. I wanted BADLY for Berto to lose, and lose he did. No thanks to Ortega, who insisted on penalizing Ortiz for everything but breathing. The point deduction for hitting behind the head was laughable. Oh..... and Berto gets the Oscar for "Best Acting Job" after that shot WHICH HE PRACTICALLY DUCKED INTO. I'm so glad he lost. Great fight, though!!

4. Larry Merchant had his days, but he should now retire as quickly as possible. He's about two interviews away from slurring and babbling. Berto looked like he couldn't wait to get away from Larry's babbling an into a well-deserved rest and shower in the locker room.

5. Mayweather got more air time than the fighters themselves. I would've rather seen more of the ring girls.


There's probably more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

I vote you become the honorary color commentator who closes the fight cards with his opinion of the nights events!!!!!

Very well put.....I agree with them all......

Thanks bro.... I appreciate that.




I'm still hurting from the JuanMa loss.... but I'm confident he'll be back with more than a few lessons learned. No questioning his heart, tho. He was still throwing 'till the end, but was getting tagged by almost everything Salido was throwing. Not easy being a ref in there. You'll never make everybody happy.
