FERNANDO GUERRERO
That kid is a nice prospect. I heard they’re trying to lure him onto the wolves too early though. But I completely forgot where I read that at.
Anyone that has any decency... please let me know if the Urango-Ngoudjo's 10th round fight is over.

I expect it to be a quality fight. Mack did get a flash knockdown of Andrade… but he did get KO’ed later.

Pretty much
Although Henry has a really good chin as well. He took the best that Diaconu could dish out and kept coming, and despite not having a ton of KOs on his record, Diaconu is a really hard puncher. Someone close to his camp told me that for about a 5 fight stretch they had him make a concerted effort to go the distance so he could learn to box better and build up his endurance.
Anyway, mid-rounds TKO for both of them. Mack is sorely lacking in endurance, and while I don’t know much about Rosado, I know Guererro can throw leather.

Henry is going to put a whoopin’ on Mack tonight and stop him in the 7th. Then again I’m known to be wrong fairly often.

And frankly, I just don’t think he’s that talented. He doesn’t have any deficiencies, and he has good skill, but I don’t really see him as having any good skill set.

Henry stoppage, I’ll say eighth round
Ward wide decision even though I like Sugar Poo

Porter has quick fists
But otherwise doesn’t impress me that much. If I was his management, I’d strongly advise him to take off some weight and move down. He’s too small to get very far with that style.

Guerrero-Rosado R1
Rosado with a nice right down the pipe. Guerrero isn’t coming out all jumpy or anything. Guerrero with a jab, Rosado responds to the body. Rosado is flicking his left and staying away from Guerrero’s power. Rosado wins a quick exchange. Guerrero now throwing a little, but Rosado is shutting him down so far. Kind of a tentative first round.
Rosado 10-9

Where he just throws 8 punches and maybe two of them land, but it looks good. Calzaghe and Arce do that as well.

Guerrero-Rosado R2
Guerrero reaching with a few jabs to start the round. Guerrero with a lazy straight left, kind of off-balance throwing it. But now he’s pressing Rosado some, and Rosado isn’t trying to counter so much. Rosado shoots with a right that doesn’t land. Right from Guerrero, followed by a left. Right-left short from Guerrero this time, and Rosado pot shots him as they both throw. Right from Rosado, and they trade shots again. Neither seemed to get the better of that but the crowd is exploding for everything Fernando does. Right hook from Guerrero, partially blocked. Now he’s unleashing combos — and then he pulls back. He’s not fighting stupidly, and that’s nice to see even if it’s not the most exciting possible thing.
Guerrero finds a hole and FIRES THE LEFT IN! Guerrero keeps throwing, Rosado meets him, and the bell ends the round.
Guerrero 10-9
19-19

It’s not the most technical thing I’ve ever seen. But I like when guys respond to getting hit clean by manning up and firing back. It’s been a lot of that for two rounds. I’m happy.

Guerrero-Rosado R3
Rosado brings the right, Guerrero gets away from it. Right hook Guerrero thuds off of Rosado’s head, and Guerrero hits the mat off balance. They score it a knockdown, and I guess Rosado must have been throwing too. What can you do? It’s an official knockdown.
Guerrero is firing hard now, because he’s not hurt but he’s probably pissed. Rosado is meeting him and might be luring him into something. He wants to, at any rate. But Fernando is giving some pressure again, throwing the jab, now leading with the left.
Honestly the way he fell Guerrero’s lucky he didn’t hurt his hand or wrist.
Guerrero charges, now Rosado comes in and holds him, smothering himself. Rosado eats a glancing left at the end of the round.
Weird round to score. The knockdown counts.
Rosado 10-9
Rosado 29-28

Guerrero-Rosado R4
Guerrero throwing and landing some good counter shots now. Guerrero making Rosado work, but both are landing. Guerrero firing like crazy, looking for the big left but not finding it just yet. Nice combo from Guerrero seems to sting Rosado. Right to the body from Guerrero, and THIS IS A FIGHT, BOYS!
Nice left Guerrero. There it is again. Right hook shoots in! Uppercut, right hook! Rosado just KEEPS ON PRESSING! Did Guerrero hit the ref?
Left hand, right hook! To the body! Guerrero with a HUGE round! Fantastic!
Guerrero 10-9

Rosado with a right. Left from Guerrero, and here he comes again. BIG LEFT LANDS! ANOTHER ONE! Rosado is on his horse! Guerrero chasing Rosado, whose face is starting to swell pretty nicely. Rosado eats a right hook inside, and he gets away and Guerrero just goes back to stalking him. Guerrero stings him again, now Rosado’s on the ropes — and he gets off.
Left down the pipe, and another. Neither land clean, but they got through the guard with no resistance. Rosado is getting tired and beaten up. Rosado throws a right to the back of Guerrero’s head, it was an accident.
Right hook Guerrero, then a three-punch combo. Rosado is tough but he’s getting wailed on the last two rounds. Rosado ducks a 1-2. Bell sounds.
Guerrero 10-9

Guerrero-Rosado R6
Rosado comes out thundering this round, but Guerrero is staying right in there and hammering away. Guerrero is so active with his hands. He goes to the body if it’s open when they’re both inside, he’ll go upstairs if that’s available. Nice thudding shots from Guerrero. Rosado eats a left trying to throw first. Three right hooks from Guerrero. 1-2 from Guerrero. Right hand Rosado.
Left hand Guerrero! That was a solid punch. Guerrero banging away inside, looking to break Rosado’s guard with his uppercuts. Guerrero might be running out of some gas this round. Rosado is bleeding from the mouth and his right eye is getting ugly.
Guerrero 10-9

Guerrero-Rosado R7
First minute of this round leads me to think Guerrero might be a little tired. He’s thrown big the last three rounds. But here comes Guerrero turning him around and getting himself out of any trouble.
Rosado is a little more active this round and with a minute left it’s open for a winner. GREAT uppercuts from Guerrero, and now he’s got Rosado hurt again, but goddamn Rosado just stays in the pocket, even though he ends this exchange just trying to tie up and survive. Two rights for Rosado. He’s beaten up and he’s still fighting. Teddy sees the open uppercut for Guerrero, and he’s 100% accurate.

Guerrero-Rosado R8
Rosado’s corner has to know he needs a KO. Guerrero taunting, crowd is alive, and Fernando wants to mix it up. And he is mixing it up. Rosado looking for good counter opportunities. What a great crowd this is. I hope they stick around for what should be a hell of a main event too.
Guerrero keeps showboating. Hands are dropped, he’s staying outside, daring Rosado. Probably a bad idea and I hope his corner jumps up his ass for that, because a quicker, stronger puncher will drop him like a rock for that. Guerrero’s arrogance is pretty heavy this round, but he’s still winning the round because Rosado can’t do anything, since he has nothing left.
Guerrero 10-9

Hey, top 8 in a weight class
is nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully, he matures a bit in the ring, gets some more pop to those punches, and works on his conditioining. I did like his movement in the later rounds – mostly stayed out of range of Rosado’s power.

main event odds
As of this afternoon the books had the main event a “pick ’em” with both guys listed at -115. For those who don’t follow gambling that means you have to bet $115 to win $100 the farther into the negative the bigger favorite one guy is. So both guys listed with the same odds it means there is no “gambling favorite”

Henry-Mack R1
First minute is tentative. Henry with a jab to the body. Henry wants to go in quick, but he doesn’t want to stay very long. Mack is really doing nothing at all. Henry with a couple nice shots. Henry throwing some big shots. And there’s a right from Mack, and now they’re thudding. Henry got hurt a little, and there’s tow more hard shots from Yusaf.
Once Mack threw, the round got a lot closer. Sadly he only threw in the last 30 seconds.
Henry 10-9

This is a little slower than I expected, honestly. Mack seems a little lazy and Henry a little tentative. They’re throwing some wild stuff here and there. Henry is chopping with some goofy right hands that aren’t landing clean. He’s really throwing at the back of Mack’s head, which is part Mack’s fault. Maybe it’s the high of the crowd in the last fight but this has been sloppy and disappointing through two. Not much power puncher ragin’.
And Mack lands a couple rights at the end of the round. But he spent too much of it ducking around and not fighting for me.

Henry is throwing his jab plenty but not really landing it. Mack is landing better power punches. Referee finally warns for punching to the back of the head. And here they go a little, with Mack showing his speed and laying it in. Mack unloading with heavy shots. Henry to the body, warned for going low.
I’m hoping this picks up, but Mack finally fought enough of the round to win one on my card.

But I think you’re seeing that Mack being naturally smaller is in play here because he has caught Henry flush and doesn’t seem to be making him change his gameplan. I don’t think this is boring at all. I think it is fairly interesting in a more “subtle” way.

Henry with a heavy right, and then Henry flies to the ground as they get tangled up. Mack’s left is low too much, but Henry’s been open for the right hands all night long. These two just aren’t meshing well. Mack with a couple of stiff rights. I think Henry just got warned again for using his head to come inside. Yeah, that’s what Joe says. That’s three warnings for three different things.
Mack ducks down and Henry considers a headlock. Henry warned again for using his head. This fight is bowling shoe ugly, so I guess Teddy’s vignette was prophetic.

Mack is thundering away, and Henry hasn’t seemed to feel much at all. Henry is coming forward, coming forward, coming forward, eating away at Mack’s reserve tanks, which have often been a problem. I can’t believe that (1) Teddy has this 4-0 Mack, and (2) hasn’t given a 10-10 round yet.
Henry warned again for his head.
Now Henry warned for pulling on the back of the head. Come on what is that, six warnings?
And again near the end of the round they throw to try to steal it.

Mack with two big rights to start the round. Mack with a few more clean shots. Mack’s mouth is hanging open, which is a bad sign for anyone but a red flag for Yusaf Mack.
He’s landing flush shots over and over though, but he’s not hurting Henry much. Henry is getting BOMBED now. Mack is punching himself out, too. HENRY HURT ON THAT ONE! Henry is getting chopped down like a fucking tree at this point. What the hell, Chris. He’s weathering this — Mack is going to tire himself. Mack’s going to wear himself out and get dumped.
Still, a huge round in black and white terms for Yusaf Mack.

Mack with three quick shots. And moments later another huge right lands for Mack. He’s throwing nothing but the bombs. Henry sneaks in a left. Now Henry’s throwing the leather and peppering Mack a little. Henry is wearing on him again. Another warning for shots to the back of the head.
Mack backs himself into the ropes, then tries to hold on. I still think he might be winning this round just on a few early shots. Henry got himself back into it, though.

Mack with some more bombs, but nothing too clean. Henry staying and inviting him. I think Chris wants to mix it up, but Mack really doesn’t. Mack loves clean shots so long as nothing can come back. Mack is getting sloppy, because he’s obviously gassed or very close to it. I get the feeling if Henry would rush him he could put him away.
Henry eats three clean left hooks on the inside as all he really does is lean on Mack. It’s getting close to too late for the leaning game and time to punch someone. Mack backed down on a counter left, then he escapes a charging right.

I’ll tell you, this is not the Chris Henry that gave Adrian Diaconu a great fight. He’s just not there tonight, because it’s not like Mack has fought great or anything. You can easily see how Chris Henry can win this fight, and should be winning this fight, but he’s not doing it. Yusaf is playing some D, punching enough to be attractive, and trying to ride out what I think is a lead on the cards.
Three rounds to go now. Henry did eke this one out.

I also think this outdraws Juan Manuel Marquez-Rocky Juarez from ’07 and probably Vazquez-Marquez II which was so horribly promoted that it made me gag.

Henry-Mack R10
The first two minutes of this round are just as sloppy as the last couple. It’s a weird fight. I haven’t been bored, but there’s just not much going on because neither guy is adjusting, even if they need to. Henry is terribly guilty of this tonight. Mack eats some clean shots and stays up, but he might be letting this slip away, too.

Henry chasing Mack now. This is quietly slipping away from Mack if he ever had the real lead to begin with. Who knows what the judges have? Mack with a left hook. And another short one. Henry peppering again. Mack is completely out of gas now. That is entirely clear. Henry should just start throwing because I don’t think Yusaf can hold on in a storm.

Henry-Mack R12
It’s all up to this round on my card.
Mack, by God, comes out WINGING! HENRY’S HURT! MACK IS THROWING EVERYTHING HE HAS! And Henry hangs on.
Henry coming back now, and now Mack is hugging with all he’s got left. Mack’s finished. Henry’s gonna turn his lights off if he gets an opening. Mack is leaning, hugging, anything he can do. That’s all he can do. He’s surviving.
Teddy insists Henry is behind. I think there’s a really good chance he’s going to be thoroughly surprised.
Henry firing to the body, going upstairs, Mack gets on his bike. Henry is chasing, Mack is tying up. A soft jab pushed Mack back there. Mack throwing back now, 20 seconds to go.
Right to the body from Mack. Henry comes throwing.
Boy, I think Mack BARELY squeaked this one out by landing early, landing a couple late, and holding on when he had to in this round. It wasn’t pretty, but I give it to Yusaf.

Ward going southpaw, which I think might mean the end is near. Ward pounding away as they continue to talk about this fight like it’s a farce, which I guess isn’t too far off, but it’s not THAT awful. Buchanan really has no business in there with Ward, though. It’s very apparent. The only reason I can see Buchanan winning this fight is if Ward’s bad knee gives out a la Jesus Chavez against Julio Diaz.
Buchanan is on his bike for the most part, which isn’t exactly unwise.

What sucks is that this is a 12 rounder…. we all know Ward is better but he doesn’t have enough pop to crush a guy who has great chin.

Ward-Buchanan R7
Ward goes southpaw and starts popping away. Buchanan is doing nothing tonight, because he can’t. It’s not for lack of wanting to. The fight is what it is. It’s a bore.

Ward counters well, he can’t hit with the right though. For a guy without great pop, get yer dam hands up.

Ward-Buchanan R8
I’m watching and scoring in my head. That’s about it at this point. We’ve crossed over into Saturday and this fight is one-sided and dull.

Ward-Buchanan R9
This is the longest fight of Ward’s career. Congratulations, Sugar Poo!
Ward working to the body as Buchanan protects his face. Buchahan, bless him, is standing in there and now he’s trying to come forward some. Ward is still basically sparring, and a quick combo pushes Henry back.

talking smack acting cocky because he’s still standing….strange phenomenon. Imagine it another sport, it’d be weird there too

Ward-Buchanan R10
Virgil Hunter in Ward’s corner: “We got round ten here. It’s time to close the show.”
And here comes Ward blasting away. And that doesn’t last too long.

What i love about boxing announcers is that they don’t bullshit you when it is a mismatch…

I appreciate the effort/ intent to harm. True on the announcers issue. MMA sucks for that.

Ward-Buchanan R11
Buchanan finds a new strategy: punch Ward in the balls. Buchanan goes low a second time. He’s actually FIGHTING this round. Like, fighting fighting.

Ward-Buchanan R12
I’m not trying to hate, and I know Andre’s trying to stay busy, but for the most part this was a waste of time. We learned nothing new about either guy. Ward got some rounds in and that’s the real value of this fight, but he wasn’t tested even for a moment.
