PBC on NBC Sports Network: Danny O'Connor vs. Gabriel Bracero II RBR

You don't think Danny and Tito are evenly matched, or you don't believe their styles will mesh in an entertaining way? :think

For me they're both solid domestic products and big-fish-in-small-pond regional draws who get shown up when they mess with the best...or even guys on the fringes of the fringe of world contention.

They fought at 140lbs a few years ago, with Tito winning a wide decision...but O'Connor has actually shown the better form of late since both moved up to welter (and that's even with having dropped an upset SD loss to old Vivian Harris, when Harris was in the midst of a brief resurgence that saw him also upsetting Jorge Paez Jr.)

 

I can't honestly much about remember their original encounter...just that i was impressed to see two guys @ 14-0 risking their zeros against each other (not that it was so uncommon to see on good old ShoBox)...was it dull?

 

Found it.

A little closer than how the judges had it, but still a clear Bracero victory.

 

Ryan Kielczewski vs. Rafael Vazquez, 10 rounds @ featherweight

 

I'm kind of committed to both this and the BeIN Sports Español card immediately following it... :think

 

Kiel is just a blur of activity, making Vazquez turn constantly and flurrying at him with good speed but no pop.

 

I just had the result of Spike vs. Toribio spoiled on Twitter. :exmad

Hopefully they show highlights of it anyway.

 

Yeah. The loss to Harris was, I think, a combination of a bad night for O'Connor, taking Harris lightly (since he was supposed to be shot) and Harris experiencing a bit of a renaissance (as upsetting Paez showed he was still pretty legit)

 

Kiel is eyeing a rematch with Danny Aquino, to whom the Polish Prince lost in April, and who is competing in the co-main event tonight.

I think Kiel (assuming no late heroics from Vazquez with a come-from-behind KO) will get the rematch regardless of the Guzman vs. Aquino result.
