    Watched:

    McGuigan vs. Pedroza
    McGuigan vs. LaPorte

    McGuigan is such a fun fighter to watch. Continuous head movement, nice technique, no wasted movement, good feints, efficient footwork. Also, really nice punch selection, and accurate! LaPorte really pushed him to the limit. But an aging Pedroza had no answers.

    Those are Mcgugian's two best performances. Along with the Taylor fight. It was all downhill for him from there.

    He trained and fought hard....criminally mismanaged into taking a fight in a Nevada car park in brutal heat. Never recovered thereafter.

    Watched Corrales vs. Freitas

    This was a case where a fighter (Freitas) went in there and did probably exactly what he hoped to do.....stayed on the move, won rounds and landed big clean right hand after big clean right hand. The problem was, Corrales just never stopped coming. And we all saw what happened in the end.

    CURTIS COKES' Birthplace...
    Watched the Luis Nery-Shinsuke Yamanaka Fights to Get Some CONTEXT for Nery's Upcoming Bout with Naoya Inoue...

    Never Saw Yamanaka Fight Previously...Upright, Polished PURE Southpaw Boxer it Seems, But Nery's Looping/Winging Attack was All Wrong for Him...Yamanaka Seemed Like a "Paint By Numbers" Type, Whereas Nery was Waaaay OUTSIDE the Lines, So to Speak...

    The RE was a Joke - Can't Recall Such a VISIBLE Size Difference in the Lower Weights:Jest:...Nery Missed Weight by 3lbs, was SIGNIFICANTLY Larger By Fightnight and EACH Punch He Landed Troubled Yamanaka Mightily...

    Yamanaka was Stopped ON his Feet in the 4th Round of the 1st Bout, But Left FLAT On His Back After Just 2 Rounds in the RE....
