Prizefighter - The Light Middleweights RbR Thread!!

What a round didn't see that coming at all Roman can really take a beating

 

Hahahahahaha.....brilliant

 

Plenty of respect between the 2 now by the looks of it

 

This fight is back and forth anything can happen in this last round.

:rofl at Roman crossing his arms he didn't even flinch when Escalante feinted

 

Tough tough men.

Im glad to be able to hop into bed without having to take a beating like Roman and then call it a living.

 

Worth staying up for eh boys.....

'til the end'......

 

Where did Escalante get that 2nd pair of lungs i thought he was dead in the 9th. What a fight well glad i stayed up.

 

It was a nice way to end the day, well worth staying up for

 

I couldn't see him getting through the last, he looked spent in the 9th!

Fight of the year so far?? I'm pretty tired and say that without really thinking about it too much....but it has to be up there

 

So far quite possibly, but it won't make the top 5 list come years end.
Escalante is always good value for many......so is Roman for that matter actually.

 

I don't think so, i had it 96-94 same as Teddy and thats including the point deduction for Garcia for the low blows, was quite surprised at the split decision.

Definitely think Garcia underestimated Theophane, and as Teddy kept saying ALL night Garcia completely forgot about using his jab, needs to sort that out big time.

Good scrap overall, and a very good card. I nearly dozed off myself a couple of times but managed to hang in there luckily!

 

Anybody else think Teddy Atlas is losing it? I like Teddy and what he means to boxing but his whole broadcast game is becoming like his predictions.

I think thats why they put him in the studio at times to shut him up and keep him on a short leash. Scarface drew an analogy between Marco A Barrera and George Foreman. Are you kidding me? Atlas makes 7 figures a year for shock jock zingers like this? C'mon Teddy. Now I gotta hear the casuals sipping the kool aid on how MAB and Big George are forever linked. Unbelievable.

This reminds me of him saying that Pacquiao won't give one of the most accurate surgeons of our generation much of a chance to counter lol, lol, lol!! I sincerely wonder if he believes half the **** he throws out at the casuals. Why did Bert Sugar have to decline this position or Al Bernstein going over to Showtime and just working the classics archives?!

Teddy knows his boxing, but is seriously slipping.

 

I dont know about Teddy Altas losing it - but I do not buy into his analysis in Boxing News of the the Pac-Clottey. He nearly went for Clottey and was talking this up as if it was a close fight. No chance. Clottey is tough, ripped and a big welter - but he is not in the same league as Pac. Pac will beat him up like Cotto
