Okay, neither of these two are having kids any time soon, MONSTER low one from Soto.

I think Joshua is destined to become our best heavy yet, or at least equal to Lewis. Also, there is not much in his generation, not anyone decent.

He's leagues ahead of Bruno, and I think smoother than Lewis at a similar stage. The only question is the chin.

I would happily put a grand on him becoming world champ within 3 years.

I don't think you can ever predict how good or bad someone is going to be at this stage (before 15 fights.) There are question marks over his fitness, chin and heart because he hasn't had to show them just yet.

Jay Nady won't be getting a Christmas card from John Molina

Angulo down in round 2. The guy isn't just shop worn, he's shot.

[jameswilson]

Yeah incredible that a guy at just 32 can look so worn.

[TheCobra]

Ideal stoppage imo, I would have stepped in at the same time, he was gone there.

Agree mate, Vassell was gone, Richie Davies did a perfect job in that fight.

There were opportunities for an overly enthusiastic ref to pull out Vassell in the very start phases i.e. round 1, the fact that Richie Davies let it carry on gave us a great fight and proves that refs are jumping in too soon e.g. in the first fight tonight.

[Boxing Prospect]

Win or lose Angulo needs to retire. He's going to take a lot of punishment in every subsequent fight.

[Boxing Prospect]

Angulo gave it a go in the final 2 rounds when De la Rosa was cream crackered. Clear win for De La Rosa. Well done kid.

[jameswilson]

'Vasquez not like the classic Mexican fighters, with big heart, the big hookers.......big hooks I should say.'

I'm going to download this fight for tomorrow when I can't sleep

Why is there always at least 1 fight like this on a Mayweather undercard? It's hard enough to stay awake without sitting through this snoozefest

Because TMT has a lot of very dull fighters associated with it ;)

119-109

Sorry but...this sport needs a clean out of corrupt or clueless judges.

[Boxerbeetle]

Shocking judging, shocking fight.

Just 15 mins or so until the main event though!

Absolutely. The mind boggles sometimes.

[handsofstone]

I agree wholeheartedly with Teddy Atlas whatever he may end up saying

[handsofstone]

Anthems as dreadful as ever

[reggaereggae]

why do they always get someone to murder the national anthem of the USA?

[reggaereggae]

Anthems as dreadful as ever

Right, can non e of these people ever hold a note?

[Boxing Prospect]

Wasn't Justin Beiber supposed to do the anthem? Or has Beiber gone all Kellie Maloney?
