Wow I’ve been busy lately but not what I’d call ridiculously busy. I had no idea Crawford was fighting today.

It’s not a bad card at all. Make time for it in your busy schedule.

It seems like a very intersting care and I didn't mean to make myself sound self important, just am shocked this snuck up. I wish Crawford was getting more attention - watching him is special imo.

I do wish Eveliouskiulus Kaviliuaskuous was anything to get excited about. But what are you gonna do.

I do like the typo of Mendez weight.

A step up for Rodriguez or? No nothing about him. Can always lurke his record. But wanna watch it instead.

Rodriguez handily outpoints Mendez

Julian Rodriguez dropped Manuel Mendez in Round 1 en route to a unanimous decision victory. Mikey Williams/Top Rank
Junior welterweight "Hammer Hands" Julian Rodriguez took a few clean shots but landed way more in a one-sided decision over Manuel Mendez.

Rodriguez won 80-71, 80-71 and 79-72 and knocked Mendez down with a clean left hook in the first round. Rodriguez nearly stopped Mendez in that round when he was unloading punches on him during a follow-up attack, until Mendez finally grabbed him to stop the onslaught.

Rodriguez's most potent weapon was his left hook that he used to rock Mendez numerous times. But Mendez (16-7-3, 11 KOs), 29, of Ontario, Oregon, while unsteady at times, never went down again after the first round and got a second wind in the last few rounds, during which he landed several shots.

Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs), 25, of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, won his third fight of 2019 after missing all of 2018, mainly because of a shoulder injury.

Results from Dan Rafael

Conlan and Nikitin both suck.

Conlan is okay but to me seems lacking that something extra. He can prob get a cherry picked belt, Nikky is pretty unimpressive as a pro.

Teo is a stud and I think he wins this, very good matchup though

Stud is not a term I would use willingly when referring to another male.

You got fragile manhood bruh?

Lol I’m sure I do - makes me cringe honestly. May be used differently in Aus where I’m from. It refers to sexual Prowess from my understanding.

Gawd I wish they'd just get to the fights instead of going through like 3-4 as breaks of talking

Maybe get deviant sexual thoughts off your mind if it bothers you?

They gotta fill a 3 hour block. It seems in boxing broadcasts, there's just as much talking as there is fighting.

But it won't be as bad as what DAZN did with Canelo-Kovalev. I hope.

It’s just a strange word is all.

Conlan vs Nikitin was a really great opening fight. I had it 97-93 Conlan. He got the UD, and his revenge.

Looking forward to Teofimo Lopez vs Richard Commey. More intriguing matchup going in than the Main Event.

F@ck I'm impatient for fights I like, get on with it

The "main event" is pretty much an afterthought compared to Commey vs Lopez.

This is fûckîng boring. I’ll be asleep soon if nothing notable happens.
