    Teddys is very very very wide in my opinion.

    I think Smith got a bit of a hard time from Joe and Teddy tonight, he landed an awful lot of very clean right hands that they appeared to ignore, yet they were very quick to jump on it whenever Garcia landed a shot of similar quality. It's certainly not as forgone a conclusion as they'd have us believe I don't think, it's clear that they're both certain that Roberto's taken it relatively clearly when in reality it's very tight.

    Teddy's got it 98-92!

    Anyway, to the judges.................

    98-92
    97-93
    97-93

    All for Garcia.

    I think 6 rounds is a bit too steep of a margin, but I can't say I'm all that surprised by it. A good fight nonetheless, there's certainly a case to be made for it going in either direction, I think my mental scorecard had it about 6-4 Garcia/5-5.

    Thought that myself, Smith went pretty much unnoticed for a majority of it then when Garcia landed a good shot they went mad for him.

    I suppose you could give Garcia a few of the first five rounds on top of most of the latter ones he which he appeared to have swept on first view and have an argument for scoring it to him by as much as 6, but I think that would be stretching it a tad, personally. I saw that as a really tight one where Garcia may have just about nicked it, but I generally have to re-watch fights in order to score them, as I only really keep mental notes when watching live.

    Anyhow, it was a good one this week I thought, one of the better main events we've had this season. Hopefully you gentlemen and a few others will be on board for - considering Hank Lundy and an opponent can punch is involved - what is sure to be some drama in and out of the ring in next week's installment.:good

    Just caught up with this weekend's card. I thought Garcia definitely deserved the win although the ring was ridiculously small and favoured him massively.

    Scores were far too wide IMO.

    Looking forward to this. Hope it lives up to the billing Lundy has always been fun to watch and Williams has a big punch and isn't a bad fighter.

    Tonight it's this guy:

    Against the brash, talented, and chinny Hank Lundy. Lundy's favourite, but I have no time to expand. Enjoy it people.:good:hi:

    This Williams can really hit. He and Lundy match up well it seems.
