ESPN Friday Night Fights - Thoughts/Concerns

whoever gave that Ortiz cat national TV time should be immediatly taken out back and shot. What the **** that dude was an absolute disgrace. I'm not gonna lie though I was laughing for a good chunk of the fight, and at him flexing afterwards acting like he was the man hahhahahaha.

 

:happy

:good

 

FNF is nice after a week of work and a weekend ahead. Just chill out with some drinks and watch some (hopefully) good fights.

 

That was the most ridiculous fight of the night. That guy was a JOKE. But I will say this, there was one notable moment in that fight. I've been watching boxing for nearly 30 years and I've never seen a fighter go down to the canvas voluntarily for no reason. That's a first! :nut

But yeah, this was a lousy card all around. Woods was never more than a fringe contender, and now there should be little doubt he's done. Guinn's run as anything more than a trialhorse is clearly over. That's about all this card accomplished.

 

my thoughts on the card so far, keeping in mind I havent seen the main event yet, its shown on tape delay here, and after reading comments Im not sure I want to see it. 1st fight was entertaining, but after seeing Woods take those bombs and get stopped by a 9-11-2 car salesman, who took a 5 year hiatus from boxing from 02 to 07, I am glad Woods' original opponent pulled out. Woolnough would have put a far worse beating on him. Props to Sargeant for getting the biggest win of his career in front of his hometown fans.

I was very disappointed when I heard Joe say "up next Byron Tyson against Claudio Ortiz." I follow boxing in Canada, so I had read a few fight reports on Ortiz matches, never actually seen him box though. I knew exactly what to expect and it was even worse than I expected. What a joke. He is just a dirty fighter with no talent who does a lot of weird **** in the ring. If ESPN had any sense at all, they would have shown the bout with 9-0 HW Shane Andreesen over that ****. What a joke.

 

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

 

Card wasn't that bad but that Ortiz guy is a disgrace to the sport and should never be allowed to lace up a pair of gloves again.

 

I was at the fights last night. Yeah, Ortiz was a complete disgrace. Shamefull that that made it to t.v. The guy Andreesen fought wasn't much better though. Looked like Baby Bean with a few extra pounds. Dropped on bodyshots twice. Ended in the second. Guinn was pathetic. Lousy card all around.

Cheers
