Leo Santa Cruz vs. Kiko Martinez & Julio Ceja vs. Hugo Ruiz II RBR

He twisted his ankle falling when he got knocked down.

The replay from top-down view shows it clearly, very nasty angle it got bent at. :verysad

 

15 goddamn minutes since the KO now. Come on already, time is burning away. Verdejo and Silva were only two rounds in as of the KO; now they've completed six of ten. :twisted:

Santa Cruz vs. Martinez could be underway by now if they weren't lollygagging so much!

 

Abner Mares (guest pundit at ringside) has fought on Showtime exclusively for six years now, a dozen straight fights since his last Solo Boxeo appearance versus Felipe Almanza.

Now that's loyalty. I can't think of any lengthier associations except maybe Pacquiao with HBO.

The funny thing is that for the five years before that, Mares was a staple of HBO PPV & World Championship Boxing undercards, pretty much whenever he wasn't headlining on Telefutura.

 

23 minutes and counting. :desk

They are doing this on purpose!

 

Leo Santa Cruz vs. Kiko Martinez, 12 rounds @ featherweight

 

I know. Let me rephrase: lengthier still-running associations. I think Pac is probably the longest-tenured with a network at this point.

(without checking, maybe Orlando Cruz with Telemundo as runner-up?)

 

Better not be too late or this is going to clash with Crawford vs. Lundy seeing as Verdejo & Silva are nearly done..

WAR EARLY HEAD CLASH NC!
