Dallas J.R. might have a career in MMA. I saw a head lock, a chin lock and at one point it looked like he was going for a guillotine
Brian Kenny kills the Mike Tyson rumor for about the 40th time in the past two years. It's gotta suck for Brian Kenny when a Tyson rumor comes up. He always has to debunk the same **** over and over. Dan Rafael "I actually did some reporting"....looks like you've done some eating as well Dan. Rafael says Don King was evasive when asked if Mike would come back but NOT against Evander Holyfield.
Oscar De La Hoya, 37 year old former six-division titlist and all man, still sounds like a 15 year old lesbian.
Oh too true There's a girl who sits in one of my classes who looks like Millie and sounds like Oscar. Ricardo Mayorga would have a field day.
Dude, wait for the main event. This could still wind up blowing Escalante-Roman out of the water despite the crappy lead-in fights, if it lives up to expectations.
Teddy Atlas is doing the fight notes in the crowd. I guess they forgot to film that segment. ESPN producer- Teddy we're forgetting something.... Atlas- Yeah, I feel like we are. ESPN producer- Saul? Atlas- He's in my trunk. ESPN producer- Tessitore? Atlas- They're getting him out of his coffin now. ESPN producer- Fight notes? Atlas-...****. ESPN producer- Alright, it's Temecula. What's interesting in Temecula? Atlas-..... Producer-..... Atlas-....Did I ever tell you about the time I saved Shannon Briggs from an entire clan rally in Temecula? Producer- Did you just make that up now? Atlas- Listen, I've been in over 500 street fights and killed over 5000 men, I remember every single one of my street fights. Producer- Just do it in front of the crowd and try not to look like an idiot...

The Doctor (James Jen Kin) is still in the building, and officiating the feature bout! :happy Round 1 MH keeping out of range, circling and frequently switching lead foot and changing direction. WH watches him cautiously and follows. MH boxing very nicely, throwing every punch in the book accurately while backing up and in orbit around WH. A huge right hand from WH goes over MH's shoulder. WH tries an uppercut that glances, his first significant (partial) land. 10-9 Martin Honorio
10-9 Honorio, Hilario is so smart he's trying to win this fight without throwing punches! Honestly Hilario seems lost and confused by Honorio's basic skills!
