Real Deal: Toka Kahn-Clary vs. Emmanuel Domínguez & Rayonta Whitfield vs. Antonio José Nieves RBR

Whom are they implying are the group of people who are having their personal choice of radiologist oppressed?

I don't get that commercial. Anyone can get a mammogram at whatever facility they want. That's how capitalism works.

Unless they mean insurance companies won't cover a service at certain places - but that would seem to be a separate issue. Having women sassily proclaim "where I go is my choice" would make sense in the context of a commercial for an insurance company (like something akin to an HMO but more permissive in terms of going "outside your network") but..?

 

Holyfield, Bowe, Vinny Paz, Dave Diamante...and I'm not sure who else in the ring. Bunch of old heads.

 

Okay so there are currently two light-skinned black girls with red hair in the ring. It really works on the shorter one (in ass-length braids, about to sing the national anthem). It really doesn't on the ring card girl, who put it up Ronald McDonald style.

Almost the same exact shade, too...and they're both naturally attractive girls, probably about equally so.

Goes to show that style matters.

 

She isn't a very good singer, though.. yeesh.

 

Hahahaha. Barry Tompkins left a few moments of dead air when the girl was done singing the anthem, then said "well, that was a ...sturdy... rendition. We'll be back with more action after this break..."

You can tell he's from the "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" generation and really struggled for a moment there.

 

Main event is on next? Did they cancel Ray Whitfield vs. Antonio Nieves or is that being saved for a walkout, I wonder? It definitely wasn't/couldn't be conceivably billed as the main event..

 

I'm not sure I ever knew that little tidbit; only the half a dozen or so "favorite" pupils of Freddie Roach at any given time are permitted to go downstairs to training in the basement of Wild Card. You have to prove your work ethic to him to work out on that floor.

Toka already trains downstairs, apparently. (this is only his first match w/ Roach in his corner, here tonight)

 

Toka Kahn-Clary vs. Emmanuel Domínguez, 10 rounds @ featherweight

 

This is for the WBA North American (NABA) featherweight title, 1st defense of Kahn-Clary.

 

Round 1

Domínguez is hopping in & out, rowing a left jab over the head of Kahn-Clary. Easygoing pace, as Kahn-Clary takes measured steps while feeding out a straight right jab from his forehead to Domínguez's, circling out by the ropes. Kahn-Clary is caught with a right hand by Domínguez as they circle on the Real Deal logo. Kahn-Clary very cautiously studying Domínguez, picking off his lunging straight combos from outside and clapping down with the occasional counter left. Kahn-Clary touches the belly with a low-reaching 1-2, lightly, while stepping back. Domínguez walks Kahn-Clary into the ropes but doesn't throw as Kahn-Clary is twitching in anticipation, directing his guard toward Domínguez and holding out whichever glove is likelier to be in position to block the one Domínguez seems readier to fire.

10-9 Domínguez

 

Round 2

Domínguez is folding himself over at the waist, pounding on the body with both hands. Kahn-Clary is lining up counter lefts and jarring the skull of Domínguez, buying himself room to circle out. Domínguez puts out a high jab, tapping Kahn-Clary's right glove with it. Kahn-Clary is trying to set traps and catch Domínguez with the straight left hand lead when Domínguez gets greedy and jumps in past his own jab to attack the body. Just at the bell, Kahn-Clary lands a flush left cross and knocks Domínguez back, the ref's body actually getting in the way and holding Domínguez up, would've been a knockdown otherwise.

10-9 Kahn-Clary, close

19-19
