R1 Good stuf...good trading by both guys..punches making lots of noise. Castaneda is a shorte guy, demarco is a lanky southpaw...making for a good matchup as casta attacks... really nice first round...demarco went low at the bell
r2 farhood went to demarco..i didn't score it r2 more of the same...casta pressures and gets demarco on the ropes for a bit. Doesn't really get the better of him though. Demarco picking his shots better. Casta buzzed and goes down. Takes a knee. 100 secs left demarco goes to body bette. Casta catches him hard..demarco okay, but he was buzzed a little demarco has a really good hook to the boddy...and again. casta goes southpaw..loops his left..not bad..then he gets rocked..down again... his defense in southpaw was weak..his offense was decent. 10 secs left bell
R3 Castaneda looks discouraged in the corner...the 2nd kd hurt him. nice left by demarco to start r3 he's accurate...more punches, but his D is weak enough to ive castaneda hope demarco gets in body work. Casta down again after a combo. 1:50 left hail mary lands, but doesn't hurt demarco demarco picking his shots...he as a lead uppercut that lands, too. casta back in southpaw now conventional he lands, but demarco not hurt at all...steam gone announcers think demarco hurt...i don't demarco looking to pick shots and lands a nice hook to face great trading in mid of ring... bell
R4 demarco makes him miss and lands clean castaneda keeps coming the body shots ar adding up nice hook to face by demarco nice right by casta and a follow up he's slower now tho but getting in some licks demarco resting, but getting hit a bit too demarco looking to pick his spot instead of trading, but taking damage while waiting. demarco gets hit by a clean uppercut...first time thrown by cast and it landed well demarco not hurt, but he's losing htis round nice hook by demarco another another anothe ref about in but time runs out...demarco backed off with 5 secs to go
not sure if demarco's comeback won the round...but it doesn't matter r5 nice straight left to body by demarco huge body shot locks up castaneda and the ref steps in. kinda strange to come in at that point, but casta was hurt and goes down to a knee a few seconds after the fight was over to catch his breath. . demarco wins tko5 fun to watch, but he gets hit way too easily
the last punch...a big right hook to the body was about perfect...he had it coming up when it landed under the ribs.
pre show going on now Andre Dirrell 14-0 (9) vs Anthony Hanshaw 21-1-1 (14) They are giving Dirrell some shit (not to his face, but to the tv audience) about his fight with curtis stephens. Personally, I didn't mind that fight. He outclassed Stephens and I expect him to be way too fast for Hanshaw tonight.
Hoping they say something about Andre's brother, Anthony Dirrell. He looked great before he got cancer...not sure if/when he's coming back, but I started to like him more than Andre, and I really like Andre. . just about ready to go...a couple of mins probably
10 rounds scheduled..surprised they don't have a title at stake here, but they don't. Hanshaw 6' 169 lbs Dirrell 6'2" 168.25 lbs I remember being impressed with Dirrell the first time I saw him back at like 130 lbs when he was a short little kid. He done growed up tall. alright...R1 hanshaw comes out...he trapped dirrell in a corner, dirrellwent down, but ref says no kd...i'm not sure..it looked like he went down from being hit...announcers think so too hanshaw keeps coming forward...dirrell doing some pity pat shit..not comfortable yet 100 secs left now dirrell looking to catch hanshaw on way in...he does, but hanshaw caught him with one clean shot that might have stung dirrell a bit... i do think dirrell got hanshaw too, tho dirrell wins the jabbing in the middle dirrell gets back on ropes...hanshaw doesn't capitalize nice hook by dirrell huge right by hanshaw before bell...dirrell had beein winning the last part of the round, but that should seal r1 for hanshaw hanshaw 10-9
It was a kd, but not counted r2 step on foot and down goes dirrell..no kd nice left by dirrell..han reaching dirrell misses a check hook nice combo by dirrell..lightning fast han not hurt at all dirrell now orthodox...he had been landing jabs going back and forth pot shotting han this will be dirrell's round...hanshaw didn't do much at all 19-19
hanshaw's corner (ronnie shields) thought he lost r2 they want pressure and aiming at shoulder hanshaw stands whole time r3 nice hook by dirrell...nice right...hanshaw not getting to him..eating on the way in nice hook by dirrell..and he lands some hard stuff and hanshaw hurt dirrell goes crazy wild...stupid...he could punch himself out, but he landed quite a bit han okay i think dirrell resting now 70 secs left nice left by dirrell dirrell in corner...han lands dirrell resing on ropes...hand trying more dirrell lands a nice left dirrell's round
R4 nice jab by hanshaw dirrell back to orth now sp big hook by dirrell as a righty nice straight left by dirrell big shot by hanshwaw, but hten he eats a return by dirrell and is hurt 20 secs left nice body shot hook by dirrellbig left by dirrell at bell and ref calls it a kd...it was arguable hanshaw up... so 10-8 dirrell
R5 dirrell in corner...han gets in some work...and a nice headbutt by hanshaw nice hook by dirrell..now he gets some opt shots in...dirrell getting him hanshaw hurt Huge left...big right...russell steps in Dirrell wins via tko
Great. I've just discovered somebody to root against. Nick Charles doing his best impersonation of Jim Lampley. Literally creaming his pants over Dirrell. :nono:
