Alvarez vs Hatton & Broner vs Ponce De Leon card

I know this fight card was over-shadowed because of the MMA last night but I watched the replay of this card this morning and it was a good card also. I was alittle disapointed that De Leon didnt get the decision over Broner because I thought he had far less skill but really pushed the action and made the fight ugly. Broner got a very close decision 96-94 on 2 cards and then 1 judge had it 99-91 . He should be fired. In the main event Ricky Hattons little brother tried for a big upset aginst a rising star in Saul Alvarez a 20 year kid with very good power and a good chin. Alvarez dominated the fight but he definitely has holes in his game. His footwork needs work as does his defense. He has no head movement, although maybe he knew Hatton couldnt hurt him but he still needs to work on not getting hit as much. All in all a good night of Boxing also.

Another thing that happened last night that nobody is talking about is a older fromer champion won the title!!!!!! Not the guy u are thinking though.....Zab Judah!!!!!! He won a fight last night to win the IBF JR. Welterwieght tile. I know its not a big as Hendo but I have always liked Zab.

ya Im a big Zab fan always have been, was happy that he won , Alvarez is going to be really good in a couple years, the kids 20, undefeated in 37 pro fights and is only going to get better.

Glad ya checked the fights out

Yeah I ordered HBO and Showtime again just so I can not only see MMA but to get back into Boxing big time again.

HBO and Showtime are definitely the way to go to get back into boxing

Does Alvarez not bare a striking resemblance to Blake Griffin?


At 20 yrs old, combined with the skills he displays plus his eagerness to fight, and this guy looks like a real deal future star.

I do wonder, because of Hatton's(who says he was fighting above his best weight, and will probably drop down) ability to survive what looked like a pretty brutal onslaught(without ever hitting the mat) if Alvarez's power is a bit overstated. Or perhaps his power needs to mature into adult hood. I don't know, but I'd prob keep him away from the big names for awhiles longer.

Also

what did u guys think of the broadcast team? wasn't digging Roy, and Bob Pappa seemed to be taking the night off, guy did not have much to say.


And I've disliked Zudah ever since that business with Tszyu.
