Friday Night Fights

[diddy]

Showtime card tmrw.

Sammy Vazquez vs Emmanuel Lartei Lartey. Vazquez should win, question is can he make a statement?

Umberto Savigne vs Craig Baker. Question is, who the hell is Craig Baker? Another question is how does Savigne actually make light heavweight? He looks like a heavyweight in the ring.

Again, anyone know who Craig Baker is? Savigne seems to be a big puncher at 175, or is he just 20 lbs bigger than his opponents on fight night?

It's Savigne's smaller twin borther, Lacy called iirc

[diddy]

Wow Jeff Lacy really is shot to hell. Savigne destroyed by a club fighter.

[crusader]

Baker was a solid amateur (#3 in the US, runner-up in a national tournament, multiple state titles) and obviously unbeaten in 15 pro fights before tonight's bout, so I don't think he's a slouch even though he obviously hadn't fought good opposition.

[diddy]

Baker looked ordinary to me in previous viewings vs bum fighters. Nothing special to see. Will lose when he truly steps up. This result says more about Savigne than it does Baker.

[handsofstone]

Well Vasquez-Lartey ended up being plain awful,Sammy did show he can box a bit I suppose but Emmanuel was in survival mode up until the last round,even on the rare occasions he did let his hands go,there was no belief or spite in the shots he threw

Vasquez 99-91

I think it was a great fight. Vasquez used that kid for a heavy bag for 9 rounds. I gave the African the 10th. that kid could take a beatin!
