Showtime Triple header: Berto, Matthysse and a guy named Broner

[Spicoli]

Seriously...Triple header! WAKE UP Might not be the most spectacular 'name' competition ( Showtime..please break this new trend ) but its boxing. We like boxing .

Andre Berto gets back to business taking on an expected to be real soft touch in Steve upsher Chambers 24-3-1 (6). Then again any man winless in three years and off two brutal wars and injury can assume nothing and take no one for granted.

Lucas Matthysse is fighting a bit of a mystery man in Roberto Ortiz. Ortiz is undefeated, does not know what losing is and oddly and quite silently has held a wbc trinket over 10 defenses That either says even less of the wbc than we already do or Ortiz might have a modicum of credibility. I fully expect this one to be one ugly-ish war...with point deducts...but the judges might just stay over at the Nickel slots because it has ko written on it.

Adrian Broner fights Emmanuel Taylor in a homecoming main event. Taylor is off a good win over Mayfield and a loss to Chris Algeiri in one where his hands often stayed in his pockets. I want to see Broner BOX on that backfoot instead of that wade in, shuck & jive bait shots in the wheel house. Show some growth man. This ring is the size of a one car garage though..the smallest allowed.. and he'll def play seek and destroy. Taylor isn't a total scrub but he should be undersized and badly out sped.

That's a lot of words. But hey, have a great weekend and hope for solid scraps .

Upsher bothered Berto at the end there Tight tight 1st round

[Spicoli]

Wooow. Upsher rocked him and won when trading in second. Tight defense and came to win thus far. 1-1
2-1 Berto back on attack. Upsher didn't do much in 3rd, waiting waiting.
2-2 Even up again. Berto, again and still, is just way too easy to catch and his balance is bad. Frankly..he is where he was and think he'll stay there
3-2 Berto back up. Really looking for bombs, jab looks good when used. Soooo much burned energy though. Upsher needs to punch with him again
5-2 Berto . Upsher is going to kick himself in the hotel room later. When he throws...he lands and changes tide
5-3 Berto in so so 8th. Not a lot to pick from. Upshers corner tells him for lack of a better phrase..get your head of your ass, he cannot fight backing up.

Berto is done he cane be a gatekeeper for like top 15

Just the right amount of words, and I am hoping for some good fights.
