[JxhDel.]

Easy win for Castro. A little reminder: Moraga was a UFC titlist contender.

[JxhDel.]

Pacheco 40 - 36. He is dosing the shots after Gomez countering with some nasty hooks... and boy, what is he eating.

[JxhDel.]

Good test by Pacheco, picked his shots well and Gomez solidly ate them.

Just tuned in so I only caught the highlights. Thought that Pacheco looked good from what I saw. Some really nice shots in there. Canelo just arrived. Main event around 10:30?

[watsupdoc87]

So this should be on a bit earlier than the usual Vegas show being on the east coast right? I might stay up then. Pity the heavy fight looks like it'll be a boring decision win . Canelo fight should be quick tho

[bobcatbox]

Heavyweights!

Pretty much always a good time when the big fellas get in there. Haven’t seen Zhang yet but he’s pretty old. This a Hearn cash move right? Like Zhang isn’t really gonna be a contender. I’m not trying to hate. Legit excited to watch him.

[watsupdoc87]

From what I've seen of the chinese heavyweights have been pretty horrible. Pretty sure I've watched this guy a couple of times. Basic and sluggish

[gregregegg]

Did the ref wave that off third round of Zhang vs Forrest then change his mind and act like it was the start of his count?

[lazboy]

Zhang has good power but doesn’t seem to have much energy, he should have finished Forrest by now.

I think so, but Forrest jumped up so quickly, seemed to have changed his mind.

If I had bet big on third round ko I would of put my chair through the tv...

Lol

[JxhDel.]

Zhang is dangerous and has skills but boy, does he lack continuity...

[lazboy]

Forest is getting back into this. Zh looks tired.

[watsupdoc87]

Commentators just mentioned a potential aj v zheing fight. They fuking serious

[lazboy]

Come on Jerry. He’s much fresher.

[watsupdoc87]

He can stop him if he really puts it on him

[lazboy]

Wow terrible display of skill and fitness in this supposed professional sport. Zhang is doing nothing.

[watsupdoc87]

C'mon. 1round to do it

[lazboy]

That’s a 10-8 rd. Surely that would be fair.

[skanksta]

Zhang was a mile ahead after 5 and squeaks home for me.

[milpool]

These cards are going to be interesting...Zhang looks absolutely beat.

[gregregegg]

That’s a 10-8 rd. Surely that would be fair.

I’d agree, that’s how I would judge, but don’t I don’t expect it, it’s basicaly never done. and kinda see why, if your that dominant you should put him down.

[lazboy]

I’m fine with the result.
