FNF Begins...

Bernado Osuna serially pronounces EVERYTHING!

Both of these guys (James De La Rosa and Tyrone Brunson) have been out of the ring for over 2 years, with maybe a fight or two during that time away.

I gave the first to De La Rosa (DLR)...he was more active, landed most of his shots, and had Brunson on the defense the whole time. Brunson had a moment in the corner, but other than that, he gave the round away by running and leading with his head.

Man that was an ugly counter left hook by Brunson...had DLR dazed like a mofo!

I gave the 2nd to Brunson for the knockdonw, which of course made it a 10 - 8 round...but they could've scored it a 9 - 9 because DLR tried to patch it up throughout the remainder of the round. DLR is swinging too damn wild for my liking...

I gave the 3rd to DLR...he looked like he had Brunson hurt, or Brunson had no choice but to cover up with unanswered punches.

Sigh...gave the 4th to DLR again...Brunson starts throwing punches, then he just takes a break...a LONG break...like the rest of the round.

Again...he gave away the 5th. He caught DLR with a big left hook, and took his foot off of the gas.

Got damn Brunson...you always work in the first minute of the round...after that, he does nothing but cover up. 6th goes to DLR.

This shit is unbelievable...c'mon Brunson, throw something! 7th goes to DLR...he's more confident, and commits to his damn punches...

What the fuck is this spin move shit that DLR is doing to Brunson during the clinches? He simply spins him around and starts throwing some questionable punches, which the ref never questions DLR won that last round though...

Okay, just got situated. I saw bits of the opening bout, not enough to have an opinion.

I thought that you guys were going to open a separate FNF thread?

Interesting observation by Atlas re. Martinez' movement. Got to agree with the Tedmeister.

I will open one and move these posts for the previous fight...

Leave all comments here folks...

That's cool, or leaving this one is fine too.

Yup.

This grunting by Smith is blowing my buzz over here. That shit just woke my dog up, now he's looking around the room like he's crazy...

Garcia looked like he was in charge in the first round. He seems stronger than Smith. Nothing thrown that did any damage.

Shiiiiit...that last right hand by Garcia before the bell shut this sea lion up. Motherf*cker wasn't grunting then....his ass was quiet as a church mouse.

Missed it. The Sea Lion had a better second round, but it was close.

*CShel mutes the tv*...

Ha! The question though is...is he more irritating than Larry Merchant?

Yes! That grunting is killing me!

Garcia is there to be hit, but he's catching Smith.

+1

Smith is either leaving his left rib cage open, or Garcia is hitting him when he isn't supposed to...

Yup, the small ring was definitely a move by Garcia's people to make their limited guy look good. Garcia gets K.O'd in 5 by Devon Alexander.

Smith needs to stop the grunting, or at least start catching Garcvia, because he's there to be punched.

Smith is rolling most of these punches, but to the average viewer (judges included), he's getting hit. And yes, this ring is a play pen...

Garcia is catching him, but yes Smith isn't getting hurt as much as it might seem because he's rolling a lot of them. Garcia could still catch him though.

Nice body shot by Smith.

Teddy Atlas is the man!

Smith seems to be getting wore down....

Smith needs to move more. Just slip a few of Garcia's sloppy attacks and bam, on the side of the head, or the kidney.

Yup. It's because he isn't moving when Garcia throws those bombs.

He moves enough...until his back decides to socialize with the ropes

The play pen ring in effect!

Garcia looks like the Mexican version of Jan Zaveck

That small ring was b.s. Garcia didn't impress me. He did enough to win, but Smith could've done a lot better.

Yo, you see the news re. your boy, Morales?

Morales didn't make weight??? New thread time...
