Victor Ortiz vs. Josesito Lopez/Humberto Soto vs. Lucas Matthysse

[Mars_ax]

Bumpity bump in the name of two pages . Ya know, there is something to be said about looking past an opponent. Tons of 'transition' for Ortiz with Berto shift and then being a third option as Alvarez opponent. For a guy coming off a ko in which he was obviously rattled and has melted down prior, it may not be the most intelligent frame of mind. Things happen...cuts, assumptions, blind hash smoking judges, a guy resenting being so blatantly overlooked and refusing to play the foil...never really know.

Soto vs Matthysse is just a quality scrap and cannot wait for the leather to sort out the night.

Josesito Lopez is no walkover for Surfer Vic, and if Ortiz lost that would take all the glitter off the fight with Canelo in September. I expect Vic to be ready for Lopez however, and take care of business.

I agree that Soto - Matthysse should be a good one, I like both guys, they usually give it their all.

Except for having to listen to Gus Johnson on Showtime, it should be a decent night of boxing for us fans. That's why god created beer/whiskey and the mute button.

Showtime extreme is going to start showing undercard fights in a few mins.

Showing some prospects.

Hopefully they provide some excitement and start the night right!!!

I'm looking forward to the Soto vs. Matthysse fight the most. I think it will be the fight of the night. I'm a big Soto fan, so I would love to see him get a big win tonight, in order to hopefully be able to secure some bigger fights.

I'm watching 'Extreme' right now, good stuff, interviews with both Ortiz and Lopez, Lopez is talking the talk, the question is can he walk the walk. Gus is already blithering.

Showtime starts in about an hour, or 9:00 PM ET, Soto vs. Matthysse up first.

I may have to have a few 'lil Brown Ales, to help me get though the telecast.

Yo Diane, howdy.
I like both Soto and Matthysse, so for me, may the best man win.

I like Matthysse too, so I won't be disappointed if he wins. I'm just a bigger Soto fan.

You ever drink the same beer two weeks in a row? Lol. I'm having some becks myself tonight

Nice tribute to Johnny Tapia, very sad though.

Here we go with the Showtime card, Gus & Al calling the action, (no Tarver), first up Soto vs. Matthysse, this should be a good one, both pugs are warriors. (10 rounds, Super-lightweights)

I keep a variety of mostly imported brews armin, just in case I get thirsty, beer goes well with boxing.

Soto actually looks bigger than Matthysse..

[Spicoli]

Alright, I was wrooong about Jones vs Bailey being a shootout (but we did get a firing squad in the end)

But Soto vs Matthysse just has to bring some major sparks! Kicking off in seconds

Gus Johnson...shut your pie hole. Thanks in advance.

[Mars_ax]

This ref is a fucking idiot.

[DavilaJones]

Soto has some nice combos in that first round

[armin]
