    Not getting any love? Thought he looked good! Means business now, far more offensive than what I have seen of him in the past. Really stepping in to his shots and putting power behind his punches. Good defensive skills, the words slick and black come to mind! hehe. And he wants Marco Huck bad!

    Anyone saw the fight?

    Yeah, I did. He looked good. A little to much showboating, but I agree with the rest.

    Very good performance, against a credible opponent in Brudov who gave a serious effort (until quitting :verysad)

    Yeah he's got some work rate now. Added a nice attacking style with his slick defense.

    When he steps up his workrate he looks very classy & he can take a punch as well. He was a joy to watch after the Mormeck fight.

    He seems to be losing the sparring partner mentality, though he did coast at times last night.

    I think he'll beat Huck in the rematch

    It wasn't really clear what happened, actually...

    Val's body language was kind of "quitty". :conf If Genaro Rodriguez advised the stoppage, he sure as hell didn't mind a jot.

    I did, as it happens. :yep That was barrels of fun.

    Too much other good stuff on. Blowout for Raul on paper, and as it turns out in practice. The main event of that card was WILD, though. Rojas vs. Zarate. :yikes Crazy, dirty, action-packed...

    Brudov generally looked without self believe in this fight :verysad For me it looked like Genaro went over to the corner right after the round ended and stopped it. Didnt look like Brudov protested the stoppage though, so I guess you could call it quitting by proxy.

    Yeah, Montiel - Angkota was quite good :good

    Gonna search out Rojas - Zarate then. Didnt knew Rojas was fighting yesterday

    I've felt for a long time that Ola could make a real dent in that division.He just has in the past,had a kind of lazy aura about him.He definitely has some hurtin' power and I could see him doing well against YPH.Think it's all about focus (cue Mr Myagi jokes) with Ola.
