    Sucks to see Santa Cruz booed there because of a flinchy ref.

    I missed almost all ofht e first fight but the guy's face was burger meat and he was totally outclassed. It probably could have been stopped hours earlier.

    People want knockouts. That's how it is. They buy their ticket and they have a couple of beers and they want value for money.

    Absolute awful stoppage on the first fight. Don’t know why that was stopped. That ref should be suspended.

    Mares looked very sharp. I was surprised at how sharp he looked. Gutierrez has a good chin though and never looked hurt. I don’t know about the cut being caused by a headbutt though. It seemed like the cut was just opened slowly throughout the fight by getting punched.

    Santa Cruz looked a little rusty but pretty normal still. Not a great stoppage but I can understand the reasoning. Avalos wasn’t going to win and just kept taking hard shots.

    I’m excited for a Mares vs Santa Cruz rematch though. If Mares can box and not get into a brawl he has a good chance at winning.

    I also really like Sergio Mora as a commentator. He does a good job at explaining what’s going inside the head of a fighter and other little intricacies about being in the ring. I wouldn’t mind him moving up to the big leagues.

    The Doc or the corner should have stopped the Guiterrez fight. If you dropped anything but avitene into that it would echo. Mares may have been made to look sharper than he was without having to worry about what was coming back at him, but he put his work together with some style, and looks ready to reset and go again for a place at the top table after that. Santa Cruz did what he had to and can't be blamed for a weird stoppage in a fight that he pretty much bossed.

    Ye me too. Going on this weekends fights Id fancy Mares. Never was sold on LSC. Thought he was very one dimensional previous to the Frampton rematch. I think someone like Selby would beat him easily.

    Yes, I like Demarco, but he got a gift stoppage there after hurting the young gun. He may well have been on his way to stopping the kid anyway but we will never know from that super early stoppage.Mares and Santa Cruz looked very good. Had limited but very tough guys in there to make them look good.
