    I was lucky enough to be in attendance tonight at the Wamu Theatre. I paid $50 for a seat and was very happy with my view of the ring. I missed the first fight.

    Jorge Diaz out of jersey city looked impressive knocking out the cuban medalist.

    Carlos Negron the 6'6 lightheavyweight who fought at cruiserweight becuase he weighed 180 looks limited. I don't see him making it very far.

    John "Bum Killer" Duddy. That says it all. Munoz isn't a "bum" and Duddy won a very lackluster decision, not much action.

    Pawel Wolak is a solid fighter and a nice guy. Not sure about the training regiment or diet of his opponent however.

    Odlanier Solis. What can I say. When he came in at 271 I said what the hell and threw $5 on Monte B. Wow Solis just blew him right out of there like he was nothing. The left hand he hit him with was no joke. I would love to see Solis fight Chris Arreola and if he wins face a Klitschko.

    El Ciclon de Guantanamo. Yuriorkis Gamboa. The most impressive fighter of the night to me. He was in soft though. I wonder how these fights would have gone if El Ciclon y JuanMa traded opponents.

    Juan Manuel Lopez. Dominated most the fight against a very game challenger. Looks to brawl when he should box. Should worry more about winning fights than being mas macho.

    it was overall a pretty exciting card, a lot of people where critizing it b4 it happened but they were solid fights, solis looked good even though i dont like him for being so lazy, gamboa looks better everytime he steps in the ring and lopez gave us a very exciting fight the same with mtawaga , i felt bad for juanma he broke down anfd started crying after the fight but he should be proud he hung in there and was victorious

    So Duddy's fight was a nondescript affair? That's out of character for him.

    JuanMa is probably i a bit overrated. He was booed in a questionable decision in his favor against I believe a Mexican in Puerto Rico. Go figure...
