DLH TV: Roberto Ortiz vs. Pascual Salgado & Martha Salazar vs. Alejandra Jiménez RBR

Leyenda Chávez (Sr.) in the ring now.

Hasn't aged well. Looking very Robert Forster circa Jackie Brown.

 

Jimmy Lennon Jr. isn't done announcing luminaries of the sport just yet. He prompts the crowd to applaud Cristian Mijares and Sergio Thompson, who are both providing Spanish language commentary for the card at ringside.

 

Lennon now introduces boxing promoter and Cancún native (and Oscar's co-founding partner in DLH TV), Pepe Gómez. He looks more like a nightclub manager (or middle-aged rock star).

 

...and now a weird Cirque du Soleil type of interlude, with contortionists suspended by the legs from a giant hula-hoop spinning on a cable descended from the rafters... :blood

 

I want to knock both of these limber gals up.

Repeatedly. I would need quite a large hacienda to house all the niños I want to make between them.

 

I remember that shit, but not well enough to recognize individual characters.

 

Martha Salazar vs. Alejandra Jiménez, 10x2" rounds @ heavyweight

 

Dougie makes the argument that Mexico - or parts of it anyway, like Quintana Roo and specifically Cancún - are up there with Germany in terms of (rare) places in the world that are very hospitable to women's boxing or even home to pockets of rabid fans of it. He then backtracks a bit and says "well, not as big as they are fans of men's boxing, obviously, but it has fans and is something people watch regularly on TV".

The guy doing play by play says "well yeah but Mexicans are happy to watch any fight between anybody..."

 

Lennon introduces Salazar as the WBC heavyweight champion...which she did become in November of 2014 by shutting out Tanzee Daniel, but that was her last appearance in the ring. So the WBC must have given her "emeritus" status. :conf

 

The challenger has quite a muffin-top going on.

 

They actually both remind me of girls I used to know (and worked with...and wanted to bang. :yep)

 

:shock: You never saw the famous clip of Ann Wolfe sparking out Vonda Ward?

edit: never mind, that was technically at light heavyweight. Ward dropped to 175 (over which everything back then was "HW" for women, not sure when they developed a Cruiser division but it was long after men's) after her unified heavyweight title defense in the second of her three career decision victories over none other than Martha Salazar.
