Heres some videos of when my dad was in the Philippines, during the Pac/Mosley fight... Some of the Pavlik fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9YoDkxw2ls[/ame] And one of the Pac fight [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF4xYH_I5BM[/ame]
Demolition Daniel, I am eager to see your breakdown of Goral/Vitalaevus and whether you unmitigate blatancy bias for make more quicker man seem disadvantage but I have aggregate faith in yourself that you will not fall into mafia mentality as they termphrase it. Please as America in dark city say "Holler back, please, from at your crib, thank you."
That fight is coming up in a month, aye? I haven't thought too much about it, but I think this persona of BE might not like my prediction on the fight. :yep
Kazuto Ioka vs. Juan Hernandez- Kazuto Ioka by KO Luis Concepcion vs. Manuel Vargas- Luis Concepcion by UD Kazuto Ioka went from prospect to champion in a flash, in under 2 years, 1 year and 10 months to be exact. His debut was a 6 rounder, went to 8 rounds, for 3-6 he fought 10 rounders, and in lucky bout number 7 he fought the highly rated and undefeated world champion Oleydong Sithsamerchai. And with that short journey he went from a prospect to champion. Quite a story really, and let it be told he fought at 108 for his first six bouts, won the 108 (Light Flyweight) Japanese title and was offered a shot at a 105 (Minimumweight) world title. It really is quite a story and wish more prospects, and especially highly decorated prospects did this. Some do, some do get fast tracked, which I think is great. No need to fight 15 fights against people that are clearly below you skill and talent wise. It's just too bad that he fights way down here at 105-108. Weights in which don't get any attention. I think it's great and more people should know about Kazuto Ioka. And only at age 22 is Ioka, he has everything going for him and we'll see how his career turns out. He is making his first defense against Juan Hernandez. Hernandez has definitely earned his way to this title shot. He hasn't beaten any world beaters, but he has won a minor title and has defended it a number of times, so now he gets a world title shot. Fair is fair. Prediction time Ioka is very talented, very quick, very powerful, very talented. Juan Hernandez is a bit basic, comes forward though when hit and I expect him to come forward, but body shots, head shots from Ioka stop Hernandez in the mid rounds. As J pointed out a few pages back Luis Concepcion is fighting Manuel Vargas. All I can say is fun fight. I don't know too many fights where two fighters, two losing fighters of Fight of The Year candidates, square off against each other the same year. Might be a first, but anyway, I'm not complaining, I think this is fantastic and I think everybody should be going bonkers. Thursday night special in Panama. The only real down side is the fact that it's only scheduled for 10 rounds. Back to the Fight of The Year candidates, if you don't know what I'm talking about look up the Luis Concepcion-Hernan Marquez fight, and Roman Gonzalez-Manuel Vargas fights. If that doesn't get you pumped for these fights, well, huh, I guess you should probably stop reading and find something else to do. Ok, you still reading? Well, alright then lets talk about the fight. Grab your helmet and gun because expect a war. Both brought it in their Fight of the Year candidates and they were the losers so I expect both fighters to be even more motivated to try and bounce back. I think Concepcion has more in the tools in the his shed and Vargas just cant quite get to that next step. Both fighters are tough and I expect this one to go the full 10 and Concepcion winning by very close UD.
Manual Vargas Weighed in 125 pounds, which is 11 pounds over the agreed upon weight for wensdays weigh-in. Concepcion came in at 119 pounds. Manual Vargus has until wensday weigh-in time to sweet off 11 pounds.
:think Hmm, that's good info. Vargas might be drained losing all that weight. I'm surprised he's that big I think he just had a fight a few weeks back. I thought he would be still be in good shape around the weight. Alright, Kirk, instead of Concepcion by UD I want him by stoppage. :good
