Thoughts on the first PBC card
Posted: 08 Mar 2015, 17:39
- Main event lived up to the hype. It was a real coming out party for Thurman, but Guerrero showed incredible heart and made the last few rounds very memorable. Guerrero may be best served by dropping down to 140. I could see them making Guerrero/Broner.
- Broner/Molina was a lame showcase fight for Broner. Molina had no chance, he's a low workrate power puncher who will occasionally KO B-list fighters late. He had no chance and his performance was really poor.
- What happened to the Mares fight?
- I actually didn't mind Marv Albert and preferred him to Jim Lampley's self-important blathering. SRL was pretty awful though. Just completely inane throughout. Also Flores and Ali commentating from the corners was pretty useless.
- I love Steve Smoger. He is the Ron Swanson of boxing referees.
- The big screens and entrances were a little too pro wrestling for my taste. I prefer the no-nonsense HBO/Showtime production, even the UFC went that route several years ago.
