Round by Round: Bernard Hopkins vs. Winky Wright

117-110 Katsidis

Gutsy performance, wish they would have given Vitali Klitschko the benefit of the doubt. Katsidis´ eye looks worse.

Katsidis

 

Final round, action not as tough as it should be. Amonsot shows no urgency, holding his hands up even though HE's the one who needs to go something drastic. Circling, neither fighter throwing anything. Katsidis flipping his bolo right hands, but neither guy doing anything. Amonsot jabbing, controlling the action, but on my card he needs to go for the KO. Vag-eye circling, just trying to survive. 1 minute to go, Katsidis starts to throw with bad intentions. Looks like the fight won't be stopped, and Katsidis will win a gritty decision. Great fight, with a pretty anticlimactic close.

116-110 Vag-Eye Katsidis.

great action, the fight should've been stopped alot earlier, but Katsidis stuck it out and won IMO.

Katsidis Eye's are absolutely brutally bloody.

Mike Katsidis wins.

 

Not sure what happened with the Andrade fight, but next up is Linares vs. Larios

 

Next Linares vs. Larios

So far a good card.

 

it was the first fight...

 

Andrade won it in the 2nd round. Ref stopped it. :dunno:

 

i went to the corner store, came back and it was gone, what happened?

oh ok thanks guys

 

Andrade won easy in two.

Katsidis winning with that eye, might be the guttsiest thingI've seen in a decade. It was horrid.

 

agreed, but Amonsot didn't put up much resistance after the first few rounds. great job by Katsidis though


INTRODUCTIONS, LINARES vs. LARIOS UP NEXT:bears:

 

Katsidis is a beast, great idea to stick him on the undercard here..alongside the linares fight, it may erase the memory of the likely stinky main event

 

My fuckin cousin ordered this shit at the last minute! I aint payin for it though so I dont give a shit! But anyway, Katsidis is gutsy as hell, he made a fan of me tonight! His weak skin will let him down one day, but I'd love to see him vs Diaz! And to answer my own question, unfortunutely I would say that Baby Back Ribs would PROBABLY be too much for him, be a great fight though!

 

Corrales cheated, mate. Freitas did that and they called him a quitter.

 

They don't give those sort of benefits to men who might win something significant.:nono: :nono:

 

Was Hanzy not watching the fight???

 

Juan would stop the kid, he busts up way too easily. Michael has the biggest full back tatoo I have ever seen on a fighter.

 

I agree, it deprived us of the opportunity of seeing lewis put him away conclusively...damn shame

 

Round 1: Both fighters come out circling, Larios coming forward bulling and throwing hard looping shots. These guys look bigger than both guys from the last fight, although this is featherweight. good shot to the body by Larios, as Linares lands two sharp counters. Good left uppercut counter by Linares. Larios coming forward, but he isn't landing any of his looping blows as Linares counters well. You can see Larios shots coming from the upper deck. Linares habbing landing good clean shots. Linares lands another good left uppercut counter, good round for Linares.

10-9 Linares.

 

Not a bad start, Larios brings it, but it seems Linares had him figured out by the end of the round.

 

wow, I went out to eat with friends expecting to have missed the fight and I didn't. surprised.

 

Round 2: Starts the same as last round, Larios coming forward winging shots but linares countering him well, good combination by Linares to the body and head. Larios stalking but not landing anything well. Linares jabs , Larios lands a good right hand upstairs, but it has little effect. Good shots by both. Linares landing big shots but Larios pushing the pace well.

Another good round for Linares, though this was closer

20-18 Linares.

 

Round 3: Linares landing very well, Larios can't seem to find a way to be effective. Linares holding a bit as Larios gets in, but he's still landing the best stuff. Larios continues to wing hooks and rights, but Linares' counter combinations are finding the mark. Larios finally lands some decent things, good combo to the body and head. Linares had been dictating the actions but Larios closed the last minute well.

Close round, probably Larios round

29-28 Linares

 

Round 4: Linares not keepiong Larios off as well now, and while he's landing decent jabs and counters, Larios work is taking control. Larios lands a good lead right, and is forcing Linares into an uncomfortable place. Linares circling, landing much better now, while Larios comes forward. Good left hook by Linares, Larios hacing trouble finding the mark now. Good flurry by Linares, as Larios lunges in for a right hand. Another close round, but I think Linares landed the better stuff, and more of it.
