In the main event, Lucian Bute puts his IBF title on the line in a rematch against Librado Andrade, and in the co-feature, Joan Guzman returns to American TV for the first time in two years to face Ali Funeka for the vacant IBF lightweight title.

Unlikely
A 1:20 time slot open for the fight. Probably a 10 minute cheesy documentary, then the fight. That’s how they usually do it in Japan.

Naito-Kameda
Here’s what you’re going to need: A program called KeyHoleTV, which is legal. Then find TBS in the station listings. It’s not the greatest quality in the world, but this is pretty much the only option.

I say it is too big of a fight for it not to be streamed. I think around 50 million people will be watching it.

Japan's Fight of The Century?
you know,last month New Zealand had its “Fight of The Century” with David Tua vs. Shane Cameron.since i’ve been hearing about how big this fight is in japan,maybe this is Japan’s “Fight of The Century” whats next,Ukraine’s “Fight of The Century”: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Vitali Klitschko,lol(we all know it aint going 2 happen but who knows)
This is much bigger (and more relevant) than that New Zealand sham. Neither of these guys are club fighters, which Shane Cameron most certainly is.

Andrade via TKO 11
Guzman by decision.
Oh and HUSKIES! APPLE CUP WINNERS! It’s like beating a Special Olympics opponent in Wazzu.
ME! BANE!
Anyone interested in the Shobox TNG card that’s showing at 11? Molina vs Honorio should be a good shootout while it lasts (Molina should get the KO). It’s something to flip back and forth to during Bute / Andrade, if nothing else.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
I’ll probably wind up doing the main event if it lines up right. I figure Molina sparks Honorio within five.

This height difference is freaky
Way more than 6 inches. I’m guessing Guzman is really closer to 5’4".

Guzman is trying to roll the shoulder
and finding that the jabs that should miss him are hitting him. Same reason I think Floyd would lose to Tall Paul.

Guzman 10-9
But much closer than the announcers made it out to be. Funeka landed a lot of solid jabs there.
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Guzman-Funeka R1
Guzman swinging to the body, and hard. He’s getting right inside on Funeka and being aggressive, banging at Fuenka’s body and the gloves up top. Funeka swings from distance and misses as they get back to center ring. Chopping left hook from Guzman is blocked. Right to the body by Joan. Two more rights to the body. He’s really digging away. Guzman hits the body again, and Funeka gets him with a short right counter.
Two jabs from Funeka. Left hook by Funeka is blocked. Guzman working away and wobbles Funeka a bit inside. I think that’s more Funeka’s balance. The guy is just a giant. Good trade at the end, with Guzman landing another shot. Good opening round for Joanie. Pretty textbook stuff as to what he’ll want to do.
Guzman 10-9

Great round for Guzman
20-18
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Guzman-Funeka R2
Guzman dipping down, coming in and ripping to the body, then the head. Guzman looks a little more confident to start this round, maybe feeling like Funeka just can’t do a lot with him. Funeka is getting the jab in, but not enough to deter Guzman I don’t think. Right to the body by Guzman — looked like Funeka thought that read was coming to the head.
Funeka with a sharp jab. Guzman is dipping his ass almost right down to the mat at times. He’s making Funeka punch way, way down. Big right thrown by Guzman, clips Funeka in the shoulder area. Vicious right to the body by Guzman, and then Funeka badly misses a left hook counter attempt. Guzman is taking Funeka to school, IMO.

Guzman-Funeka R3
Guzman has a small cut on his eyebrow. Guzman is absolutely hammering away to the body. I mean just breaking him up with those shots, throwing them with a lot of power. Funeka with a left hook, blocked by Guzman. Funeka takes another hard shot to the body, and Guzman eats a left hook in return. Two jabs by Funeka after Guzman tries to go over the shoulder with a big right hand.
There’s that same right hand, and it gets there around the ear. Funeka starting to pick up his pace just a little bit halfway into this round, and he really needs to do that. Guzman is bleeding from his nose, and just after that they tie up a bit and both fall down.
Funeka throws a right, Guzman throws one in return. Nice right hand by Funeka. He’s finding Guzman much better this round, and it seems like Guzman got out of his rhythm just a bit, but it was still Joanie’s round.

Guzman-Funeka R4
Harold went Ali for the third, and I was close to doing it. Easy to argue.
Funeka goes down on a slip. The guy’s balance is just not there. Whatever help he can get with that, he needs to get. Bring in a “being tall and skinny” specialist. I don’t know.
It does look like Funeka is taking the momentum he picked up in the latter part of the third. Guzman has relented on the pressure and is backing off. There’s a hard right to the body by Guzman. Guzman’s busted up pretty bad in there, bleeding under his eye. Face is getting carved up by Funeka.

Guzman’s cut is right between the bridge of his nose and his eyebrow on the forehead. It’s a north-south cut. Doesn’t look good, and he isn’t reacting so great to it.
And replay seems to indicate it was a clear clash of heads, totally accidental.

Guzman-Funeka R5
They’re going to check with the doctor just after the bell to start the round, and the doctor says to let it go.
Guzman swinging with intent again. He looks like he knows it’s a bit more urgent now. Funeka snapping the jab at distance, but Guzman is back to pressuring. BIG right by Funeka, and Guzman fires right back! These guys are talking about technology while these two guys are unleashing some heavy ass leather. What the hell, guys — call the fight. Get back to the replay issue later.
Funeka swinging big shots back at Guzman, who is throwing a lot of power punches now. (Not that he was jabbing before.) Funeka misses an long uppercut. Probably the closest and best round of the fight. Guzman is letting it hang out more than usual.

Throwing big shots, both mostly missing, and Funeka tries to go to this jab again. Long right by Funeka is blocked. Funeka has Guzman backed to the ropes, and Guzman makes no big charge to get away, simply keeping his back there and walking off. Guzman digging back to the body again. He has got to stay inside on Funeka. At range, Funeka has become very comfortable.
Guzman is starting to get backed down and a bit more tentative. Funeka lands a good right. Guzman comes inside and starts chopping around. They trade to end the round, but it’s another one for Ali.

Won it on the inside there, and he did a lot more blocking punches, though he’s still blocking too many with his face.
67-66 Guzman
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Guzman-Funeka R7
Guzman has really slowed down. Maybe it’s the weight, maybe it’s the nose, and the cut, maybe all of that. Maybe it’s Funeka beating up on him more and more as it all starts piling up. Funeka is putting on a “being way taller than the other guy” clinic in the first half of this round.
Guzman finally busts inside and goes back to the body, but then lays off a bit. Funeka does look quite comfortable throwing back when he’s against the ropes. Guzman with another slamming right to the body. Uppercut by Guzman clips Funeka inside. Guzman throws it again. And again. Guzman started getting back into it this round.

Guzman-Funeka R8
Funeka comes out very active, and Guzman pops him with a right hand to the chin. Guzman hitting to the body again, making Ali miss a bit more as he did early. Guzman is getting aggressive, both to the body and to the head. He’s turning it up and this is turning into a heck of a good sleeper fight.
Funeka with a right, Guzman blasts him back. Guzman is just landing the harder shots on the inside. He’s got this fight back where he wants it. Funeka with a right, then tries to keep Guzman off with the jab. Funeka with a left uppercut, and Guzman goes right back to work with that range.
Guzman walks into a right! HE’S HURT! FUNEKA UNLOADING! GUZMAN DAZED AND RETREATING! FUNEKA TRYING TO FIND THE SHOT! AND HE CAN’T!
Guzman goes back to his corner still a bit shaken. I think that was still Joan’s round, but that was a game-changing shot.

Guzman-Funeka R9
Let’s see if Funeka smells blood. First 30 seconds don’t have him being too aggressive. He’s fighting smart, popping away with the jab, then dips to the body with a right. Guzman still seems a little glassy to me, like he’s trying to get his legs back more than anything.
Guzman’s hands are down and they’re not coming up too quick. Funeka is looking for a home run shot. Uppercut by Guzman follows a right to the body. Guzman digging back to the body. Guzman tries to chop the guard down with a right hand. Funeka with a short right in close. Guzman is basically pushing him now, laying on him and trying to bully him.
Funeka hammering away at the gloves to end the round.

Funeka too low with his right a fair amount of the time, a fast left hook to the jaw could change the fight…..

Guzman-Funeka R10
Funeka starting to really pick up steam. A big right lands. Guzman’s speed has dipped pretty badly, and I just don’t think he has the energy. Funeka really should pressure this guy. Guzman’s ready to push his chips in if he gets a good enough reason. I have him up a point, I know, but that big shot in the eighth changed this fight completely. Funeka seems content to jab, throw a couple shots at the gloves, and not really get at him.
Uppercut by Funeka, Guzman backs to the ropes and gets beaten on a bit more. Guzman looks like he’s ready to go.

Guzman-Funeka R11
Guzman slow to come off his stool when the round is to start. That’s telling.
Guzman is just in there to survive, it appears. Funeka has him in the corner and he’s popping at him. Guzman gets cocky with his hands down and gets clipped. Big right by Funeka. Guzman letting it go now. Hey buddy, we might have another fight. This might be Joan Guzman’s Last Stand. He’s like Boromir.
(Of course Boromir ate four arrows and a painful demise.)

More people scored it for Cotto than not
On mass public polls, people had it about 55% for Cotto and 35% for Clottey (and 10% draw). I thought Clottey looked better in the rounds he won, but he just shat all over himself with inactivity in the late rounds and lost the fights due to not doing shit.

Those last rounds were weird. My cousin is a S&C coach and was saying Cotto gassed in rds 6-9 and was resting to come on strong in the final 3 rds. He said that alot of the Cotto fights he saw had this pattern, and that Cotto’s conditioning was shit.
We both looked at each other after the scores were read, shrugged, and felt Cotto was gifted the win.

Did you even watch round 6?
Cotto put Clottey in the corner and drilled him for 2 solid minutes. Rounds 7-9 were clear Clottey rounds, and I scored the 10th for him too, but it was Clottey gassing at the end. He did absolutely nothing in the last 2 rounds.

"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
LOL my bad. My point was that Cotto took a triplet of rounds off near the end of the fight to regain his breath, cardio, aire, whatever you want to call it. Then he turned the heat back up.
My cousin said that Cotto got caught out there by Margarito while Cotto was trying to catch his breath. He doesn’t buy the plaster thing, and thinks Margarito would have won regardless if he cheated or not.
I’ll buy my cousin’s opinion that Cotto has shitty conditioning, but not his conclusion about Margarito.

but winning the same number of rounds as the other guy when you were the only guy who got knocked down means you lost the fight. Which is exactly what happened.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
True.
114-113 Cotto was the correct card, IMO. I’ve watched it 3 times, and scored it the same way each time. The closest round was the 10th, which I gave to Clottey. The 3rd was pretty close too, but that was a Cotto round, IMO.

Bute shooting his left hand but he’s short with it. Andrade is pawing his jab out there but still looking to set up the big right. Nice left by Bute connects. Andrade chasing, throwing an up from under right that gets blocked. Bute is laying back quite nicely so far. This is what you would expect.
Bute with a left that clips and gets a rise out of the crowd. Bute making Andrade chase, and not getting overly jumpy or anything.

Bute-Andrade R2
Bute is keeping Andrade from really setting his feet for anything, which he did effectively the first time around too. And when Librado does get in on him, he’s getting his guard up very quickly. But letting Andrade get there is a bad idea. It’s basically the one real chance Andrade has.
Bute with a quick little flurry, and Andrade fires back. I think Lennox is actually right — Bute isn’t relaxed. He’s tense. I think he’s quite tense. This is a tense fight overall, really. Bute seems to have a lot of respect for what Andrade can do when he’s freed.

At best, oversimplified…but I will say that Bute and Pascal don’t get nearly the pub in mainstream anglophone media that Molitor gets (or Razor Ruddock got). Serious Canadian boxing fans love Bute and Pascal and Russ Anber (the Kellerman of Canada) is bilingual and well-connected in the Montreal scene…he’s doing his part to spread the Bute love.

1. Himself
2. Miguel Cotto
What really bugs the shit out of me is when the HBO team gets going on some fucking tangent or narrative, and they ignore what’s actually happening. Robert Guerrero-Malcolm Klassen was a HORRENDOUS call by the HBO broadcasters. That was a really super fight, and quite close, and you’d have thought Guerrero was in there shitting gold while Klassen was just shitting his pants.

He would be fine if he would drop his habit
Of picking a topic and drumming it into our heads all night. Like the time he bitched about “Open Scoring”. He is incapable of just straight-up calling a fight.

That’s not revisionist history. I was adamant at the time that they should have drafted Oher. After they passed on him, I said they should have drafted Phil Loadholt with their next pick. Some NFL team should hire me.

I didn’t mind taking Pettigrew. He’s a hell of a talent. And I liked Louis Delmas with the next pick; physical defender, something they needed. Their biggest problem is actually that their entire team needs to be upgraded besides Calvin Johnson and a couple other guys.
But if they are in position and don’t draft Okung or someone this year, I’m gonna flip.

Ummm, no.
Brian Russell was an undrafted free agent.
David Klingler was the 6th overall pick, had 16 career TD’s vs. 22 career picks, for a QB rating of 65.1
Akili Smith wasthe #3 overall pick, and had 5 career TD’s and 18 career INT’s. Career QB rating: a Jamarcus Russell-esque 49.4.
AND NEITHER OF THOSE GUYS WERE THE WORST DRAFT PICK THE BENGALS MADE IN THE 90S.
That honor would go to the guy that the Bengals traded up to #1 to get, signed to the largest rookie signing bonus in NFL history to that point, and promptly tore his ACL on his 3rd preseason carry. He rushed for 1,144 yards and 20 TD’s over NINE NFL SEASONS. Ladies and gentlemen, Ki-Jana Carter.
