One nice thing right off the bat...we've got the back to the future announcing team of bernstein and barry tompkins...sort of an espn/prime duo from the early 90's
:: I was thinking about ordering it, but nah i still have to pay my last cable bill for $600+ cause of DLH vs. Mayweather, UFC and some other stuff....so i'll past on this one tonight.....plus i have to get COTTO vs. JUDAH...next week..:bears:
1st fight intros... jr welters 4 rds Habib Allakhverdiev 3-0 2kos..say he's from Russia..I think that is a Kazak name vs roberto acevedo 1-1-1 1ko
i'm not going to do rd by rd of this unless it gets interesting...the russian is a lefty who fights like salita, but thinks he's a puncher
puerto rican is a lefty too. some good clean punches landing - acevedo didn't like the punches he tasted - russian is still aggressive. acevedo is looking to stink.
well...russian gets the dq win in the last rd with 12 secs to go...a quick holding pt earlier..and he dq'd him the 2nd time russian had lost a pt in the 4th rd for an intentional headbutt don't know the scores yet
Robert Stieglitz vs Marlon Hayes up now nice surprise...it wasn't shown as being part of the tv card on the maxboxing schedule
its a good thing they didn't bring Gil Clancy back for this commentator job- he would have a hissy fit over the thickness of that guy's beard
the russian was ahead on all cards in the 4th...so he would have won, even with the pt deduction...in the first fight
very interesting that there are very few open seats with such a weak undercard going on... anyway...announcers gave hayes moer credit than he deserved in the 1st round...steiglitz winning the 2nd round
rd 3...hayes is a perfect come back from a loss opponent...he has sparring partner written all over him stieglitz has a nice little move where he leaned on top of hayes and then threw some very nice uppercuts with his right hand
rd 6...stiglitz short at the begining of the rd as usual...then long...then on...hayes is slow and there's 2 mins to go...stieglitz trying for the ko... rs does have good handspeed and power, but his accuracy isn't so hot...which is why...as hayes slows...rs does much better...
rd 8...hayes is helping because he's trying...nice shots by rs that he couldn't land when hayes is being tricky...nice right by stieglitz...stieglitz never has gone back to that uppercut when leaning on top... one min left... nice hook by rs...another...hayes too tough and stieglitz not accurate enough to make me right...no ko
