This is a beatdown now. Corner should show some mercy

it's amazing how much heavier handed vargas looks despite having been dropped and wobelled hismelf

but ya, it's mostly roddy getting busted up. he's showing flashes to keep himself in there though

oof roddy down at end of 8th, he makes it up but his corner should stop it between rounds

good corner work, they call it

great effort both, nice win antonio vargas

Right decision. He wad about to get mullered if he went out again.

Rodriguez is nails. Too brave

2 great fignt so far..

nic body shot from giyasov to drop cano in the third. wouldve liked to see him follow up more aggresively

cano gets an extra 20 seconds or so as they get his mouth piece back in

shak has that good speedy movement and those fast hands, but still applied in a bit overly amateur points scoring way

Yeah kinda stinking the place out.

Winning handily enough, but "go thru the gears..."

giyasov reminds me of sandor martin, clearly a talented guy with his fast fluid hands and movement, but seems to lack a bit of strength up close, and overly tentative and uncomfortable with being heavily pressed at times. if he were european he'd be a good euro champ but not a world level force

their feet get tangled, cano goes down, hurt his foot or ankle or something and fight is stopped. i presume we go to the cards? giyasov should be well ahead

strange, 'cos he looks carved out of granite like Beef.

ud for shak

true. i wonder if it's years of being trained to avoid inside fighting and instead do the whole jousting thingy in the ams

ichiban kasuga vs dwight mendez, wtf is this sheeyat

cruz fight starting .......... his first pro bout he was good but a bit slappy for me. 2nd fight, he looked already settling into a diff pro style and looked the force id hoped. hopefully more of that here

opponent tonight not with notable wins, but had a draw with the decent angel fierro 2 fights ago

cruz looks very well built/muscular for the weight....opponent looks a division smaller but is trying and has winged in some okay shots despite being overmatched

Cruz looks world class already.

3-0 cruz....on the front foot and pretty relaxed. taking time to pick his shots

would love to know what cruz weighs in there. opponent was 146 last fight but looks a division smaller.

cruz doing a good job of staying slick while being the aggressor

my impression is that cruz isnt a particularly hard puncher, but i dont think he's sunny edwards either. all his fight so far, barely been hit despite being the one pressing. it's a good thing for front foot fighters to take notes on

Cruz looks huge

Cruz at his best looks like Loma with size @ the weight.
Not quite as magical, but more strength and physicality.

ya , doesnt seem quite as quick or flashy, but he's also hulking in size and looks like he could be a handful to try to overpower too
