Maidel Sando vs. Vaughn DeAndre Alexander & Oliver William McCall vs. Gary James Cobia RBR

Ryan Díaz vs. Raquan Aikeim Ashby, 4 rounds @ cruiserweight

 

Btw, the commentators mentioned something about Cobia maybe claiming some kind of arm injury - but he didn't look to be in any pain when he was hugging McCall and smiling in relief. He just didn't want none.

(as mentioned in my preview/poll thread for that fight, Cobia pulls down six figures as Davis County deputy sheriff. Three minutes of getting walloped for pennies on the dollar started to make no cents pretty quickly...)

 

DAMN IT!

These punks broke the streak.

Going to round 2 for the first time.

 

They are the same age.

Lewis is riding a 6-1 (5) streak this millennium, too.

 

Díaz TKO2 Ashby less than a minute in. Why couldn't he just have folded him late in the 1st to maintain continuity?

 

With a defensive tackle ESPN ranked that year as 14th in the nation in high school football on commentary.

..and with the Sports Illustrated cover model from April 15, 1996, Christy "Coal Miner's Daughter" Martin as the card matchmaker.

 

Maidel Sando vs. Vaughn DeAndre Alexander, 8 rounds @ super middleweight

 

Now, ordinarily you might think it kind of gauche for a 15-0 prospect to be picking on a thirty-nine year old with five straight losses among his last six bouts...

Thing is, the unbeaten Nashville based Cuban is only four years Alexander's junior. This is his fourth time on CountryBox. I'm starting to wonder if he plans to ever step up.

 

10-9 Alexander, hurt Sando with a body shot and walked him down scoring firm jabs and hooks late.
