    Just because he whupped that old bum Holyfield doesn't mean he could beat Toney. If Toney is motivated at all that is

    It has nothing to do with Oquendo being a marginal contender, and everything to do with Toney being lazy.

    I don't think Toney is as bad as Holyfield was when he beat Fres, so I'll go with Toney. I'm rooting for Fres though.

    Good man, just sleep it off then.

    Fres can be dirty at times, and with Toney's defensive technique I epect Oquendo to hit him repeatedly (and intentionally, unlike other fighters) on the back of the head.

    How can you truly like him?

    It's good to see they're giving the olympian some tough opposition early on. The guy he just faced was a beast.

    Great win for Estrada.

    Announcers are right though, he shouldn't be charging in like that. He had every advantage too but charged in with his chin sticking out.

    I just wanted to post nice clubfighters match-up to open the show, and then I read Estrade was an 2008 Olympian. :boohoo:

    It's not hard to see why he wasn't that sought after following the Olympics.

    At least he has a crowd pleasing style. Maybe he can build a following fighting in the So. Cal area on some Goossen undercards.

    Ward's sharp with his left hand, can win this fight with that hand alone. But his technique really falls apart on his right hand at times.

    Announcers talking about him switching southpaw...Ward always does it, in part because his left is where his power is.

    Pat Russell stops the fight in the third.

    Solid performance for Ward. If this was a confidence builder after surgery, okay, but enough with the no-hopers.

    Good stoppage by the ref. The difference in class was totally apparent and Camou didn't want anymore. The announcers are such blood mongers lol.
