I wonder if GBP is going to stream the non-HBO undercard bouts (at least Bogere vs. Reyes and Wilder vs. Hayes) on their website. That would be cool. :good
Surprised to see Maidana and Alexander (both perfectly comfortable looking light welterweights) so close to the WW limit for this one.
No worries, no video just yet on youtube.. tried looking for it. Maidana with the extra weight maybe stronger in this division like how Ortiz was with Berto.
I was expecting Alexander to be at about 144 for this, he'll need to be light on his feet to circle and keep Maidana off of him. Both guys really should be at 140lbs, so like IB said, it's weird to see them so close to the 147lb limit. I do have a feeling that Maidana won't be as powerful up at this higher weight.
Who knows, maybe some of Devon's regular shoe-shine punches will have some pop with the added weight. :think
He damn sure is. Two handed no less...atsch Perez comes complimentary with goofy ass Ortiz smile.atschatsch
His punches don't have pop because he's moving backwards most of the time when he throws. He doesn't throw with forward momentum much.
