I love picks
But these won’t count for the competition thing. Fights aren’t big enough, card isn’t big enough.
Give me Prescott in the third (this, as I’ve said before, is pretty much as early a KO as I’ll call), Gamboa in the 7th.
If they both win in good health they’ll return on Shobox on April 3. Hopefully Gamboa will finally fight someone that can punch and take shots. 13 fights in is a little early for “finally” talk but for me he’s not learning anything from bashing guys like Roger Gonzalez. It’s not that he doesn’t HAVE things to learn, it’s just he seems content to glide by on God given athletic ability.

"can take a punch"
Half the guys he’s faced so far people thought could take a punch, he just hits hard. Seeger lasted 8 rounds with Ponce de Leon, who’s thought to be a murderous puncher, and had a 85% KO rate. Ramirez had never been down before their fight. De Jesus had never been down before (though Ramirez hurt him when they fought) and had a high KO rate. Together his opponents have a KO rate around 60%, which isn’t below average, and combined they had relatively few KO losses before facing him.
Honestly, I do think they’re still fighting him against pretty good opposition, given where he is in his career. Most of the guys who are skilled and can punch and can take a punch hold belts.
Yes, he’s relying on his natural talent, but don’t expect that to change at this point. Technically, he’s no different of a fighter now than he was in his second pro fight. He would have shown some progress by now if he was going to show any progress. Still, with his kind of talent, he can coast by on the talent. Roy did it for a decade.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Maybe I want to get aggressive because he fights on TV so frequently and it’s always the same level guy. Even though I’m aware he’s only 13 fights in, it feels like it’s time for him to step up to the big stage. It probably isn’t, realistically.

I'll say no
Estrada has a dodgy chin, I say he KOs Estrada before Estrada lands a solid punch on him. Nice experienced foe to get though. They didn’t need to pit him against anyone dangerous, yet he’s still fighting a guy who’s been fighting at 130 for the last year, has a 60% KO percentage and has faced a lot of championship level boxers.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Breidis Prescott = Yuriorkis Gamboa's older brother??
Is it just me or do they both look exactly alike??
Gamboa's actually older
But they do look a lot alike.

Too bad Gonzalez-Gutierrez was cancelled
That would have been a good fight. As anticipated, every single article leading up to the fight called him Richard instead of his real name, Richar.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Niagra vs Illinois State???
Are you frigging kidding me? What’s next, NAIA basketball?

Cotto looks ripped

Cotto: “I know absolutely nothing about [Jennings].”
Great way to prepare.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
What does he need to know?
Seriously though. He probably needs to focus more on making sure he’s mentally prepared after the loss.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
I’ve heard few fighters in top-tier fights go “I don’t know F-all about this dude,” though. It was more funny than anything.

To be fair to Jennings he really wants this fight, and has worked hard to get it. He’s outmatched, but he will definitely be game
I don't think he'll fold
But Gomez was game too. It’s just a different class of fighter.

He’s done.
YURIORKIS GAMBOA KO-1

I'm still trying to figure out how the Cubans got all these weird ass names
All I can think of is that early in the Castro era, they probably dubbed a lot of Russian TV into Spanish or something. Yuriorkis, Yuniesky, Yuliesky, Erislandy, Odalnier, etc.

Evidently Teddy doesn't know much about Williams either
Talking about him controlling the distance. For such a tall guy, he’s better on the inside than the outside most of the time, and he rarely controls the distance, despite his height. Also, his workrate will probably be lower at 160.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
That reminds me of when Lederman scored Williams-Quintana I for Williams on the basis of a non-existant jab. He’s tall, so he must’ve been jabbing and controlling distance!

That Tommy Morrison “Modified Muay Thai” fight was HORRIBLE as well. There was a video on Youtube for a few hours before the promoter took it down. CLEARLY a fixed fight, Morrisson’s fake titties, errrr, pec implants flapping around, and the KO was WWF style.

Casamayor has looked rotten to me lately
Other than looking decent against Marquez, who could probably still make 126 if there was any money down there, he’s looked very very old in most of his recent fights against mostly overrated opposition.

That Cintron fight was one of the most confusing fights I've ever watched, refferee wise..
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
I'm in the minority who doesn't think Cintron was KOed
I do think he was up before 10, and the ref just didn’t have enough time to react to not say the number; however, Martinez CLEARLY won the fight.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
yeah
That’s the part I have a real problem with. They closest you might possibly have scored it is 114-112 for Cintron with the point infraction. Horrible. Kaczmarek’s the only guy that saw the right fight.

Prescott-Toledo R1
Prescott coming out throwing. Wide left hooks and huge rights. Toledo firing back. This is mad sloppy.
Prescott with a chopping right, glances a left hook. Prescott winging shots to the body. Prescott is just throwing KO punches. Not landing a lot, but not totally crazy either, and he’s not allowing Toledo to do anything at all. Stiff left from Prescott snaps Toledo’s head back, but the right follow-up misses. That was preceded with a body shot, too. Prescott DRILLS Toledo with a right hand after Humberto switches to southpaw. This is a mauling and it won’t last long.
Prescott 10-9

He's cut, I give it another round.

Burst blood vessel in the lachrymal duct
Sometimes it happens from bad nosebleeds.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Could be a cardio issue with how he just suddenly just falls off a cliff aggressiveness-wise.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
Prescott-Toledo R2
Prescott is bleeding on the inside corner of his right eye.
Toledo seems to be unsure of what exactly he wants to do. Ideally he’d come inside, but Prescott is making that real hard. Now Toledo does find a bit of an opening and lands a couple decent shots. Toledo warned for shots to the back of the head.
Uppercut on the advancing Toledo landed by Prescott, and now a couple nice jabs. Prescott has been wild and sort of out of his rhythm this round. Toledo made it closer this round.
Prescott 10-9

Prescott-Toledo R3
Prescott comes out looking for more one-shot knockout punches. He could really stand to combo punch because his accuracy is rather shit in this style. Toledo ain’t Khan-chinned. Toledo is firing back when he can, and this is a bit of a firefight. An ugly firefight, but a firefight. They’re letting the leather fly.
Prescott has a horrible habit of running with his hand back and getting tagged. Better puncher makes him pay.
Prescott 10-9

Prescott-Toledo R4
Toledo’s now trying to rough Prescott up and frustrate him. He’s using his head, which is where the blood came from. Borderline low shot by Prescott, he’s warned. Looked fine to me. Right on the belt line. Prescott flicking his jab, setting up nothing yet. And he eats a right hand for it. Left hook Prescott stings Toledo, whose nose is bleeding. This is getting pretty nasty.
Prescott 10-9
Prescott 40-36

Wow
blatant cuffing attempt by Toledo there. I’m surprised the ref didn’t dock him a point without a warning.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Prescott-Toledo R5
Prescott has so much to work on. He gets chased into the corner again and takes a shot, and now he’s firing away. He badly misses two haymakers in a row. Hard right from Prescott. Left hook lands. This is a fight that distinctly lacks flow. Toledo has been dirty, Prescott fights a punch at a time. This hasn’t been pretty to say the least. Hardly an exhibition of the sweet science.
Prescott 10-9
Prescott 50-45
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Prescott-Toledo R6
Pretty much the same fight it’s been for five rounds. Prescott might be frustrated, but I am too watching him. This is just a butt fugly fight. There’s no rhythm about it, no ebb and flow, no flurries or exchanges, just physical bantering.
Prescott 10-9

Watch the Gamboa-Seeger KO video
Casamayor went completely nuts in the background in that one

Prescott-Toledo R7
Casamayor in the house to check out the young Cubans.
Teddy’s impressed with Prescott tonight. I’m not saying he needs quick KOs, but I can say I’m totally not. Yes he understands dimensions and where he should be, but that’s about it.
Toledo rocked and down because he hung onto the ropes to stay up. Eight count and we move on.
Round ends moments later.

Prescott-Toledo R8
Toledo comes out on the chase, and he’s definitely more aggressive this round. Prescott lands a few uppercuts along the way. Toledo docked a point for holding behind the head. This fight is as good as over. The last bit of this is a formality.
Prescott 10-9
-1 for Toledo

Prescott-Toledo R9
Ninth round is almsot a standstill at points. Prescott has no reason to risk anything and Toledo has nothing left. He’s tried all he can and all it’s gotten him is knocked down and a point deducted. Toledo running at Prescott, basically pushes him over.

Prescott-Toledo R10
Three minutes until this one’s over. I think we’ve learned a lot about both guys, and much of it isn’t very good.
Prescott is alleging a minute into the round that Toledo bit him.
Wow, they’re taking two points for a bite. That should be a DQ. And it is.
There is a mark.
BREIDIS PRESCOTT DQ-10
Wow. I’m done for the night with that. Jesus Christ. Tessitore lost it.

Toldeo should have been DQed long before that
Almost all that damage on Prescott’s face is from headbutts.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
yeah he bit him
Toledo’s mouthpiece flew out. Fuck you, Toledo.
