ESPN2 FNF: Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez vs. Giovanni Lorenzo RBR

You are right, it was.

 

I don't think it should count against Hart that he didn't stop Clarkson despite the little southpaw already having a stoppage loss to a journeyman (as Don Mouton is no mere dime-a-dozen journeyman, he is a dangerous man with a few upsets on his ledger including another unbeaten in Zab Judah's brother Josiah, and even more almost-upsets or tough nights given to very good prospects...) - but it does count against him that he simply...didn't look all that inspired while thoroughly outclassing a smaller man with no firepower. :think



Sidenote: Mouton has faced many big punchers but was stopped for the only time in his career last February, via 90-second blitzkrieg, by our headliner tonight: Gilberto Sanchez.

 

Yeah, if Shannon Briggs taught us anything, it's that if you have the cranial shape (and IQ) of a pineapple, you damn well better at least not have the personality of a pineapple.

 

How old is Manny Pacquiao? Decidedly too old to giggle like an eleven year old.

 

I love how "compassionate" has become the polite code word for "scared of getting countered". :yep

 

Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez vs. Giovanni Lorenzo, 10 rounds @ super middleweight

 

Teddy Atlas is the most spastic man on television.

Contrast with his poor foil Saul, whose systolic blood pressure might not ever crack triple digits.

 

Round 1

Ramirez Sanchez is dispensing right jabs into the forehead of Lorenzo, keeping distance to get full extension, dropping in right hooks and plunging lefts on the body as Lorenzo sits on the ropes. Ramirez Sanchez is working combinations to head and body as Lorenzo backs up and flicks out knife-edge double jabs. Right hand by Lorenzo circling off the ropes, falling a few inches short of Ramirez Sanchez's chest. Lead lefts between the eyes by Ramirez Sanchez. Lorenzo is banged into the ropes by a series of straight lefts and right hooks. Lorenzo is wobbled, using the ropes for support and then covering up.

10-9 Ramirez Sanchez

 

This might not take long. op
