PrintPre-fight notes:
- Klitschko-Gomez starts at 6pm ET on ESPN Classic. March Badness starts at 9pm on PPV.
- I listed all of Sheika's defeats because I couldn't pick the three most notable, and also to further say, "Hey, this guy's never beaten anyone, and has lost to every good fighter he ever faced besides a majority decision against Glen Johnson." He also lost to Tony Booth, who was 28-44-7 going into the fight.
- Herrera's other two losses were also stoppages. So he's 16-5 with 16 wins by knockout and five losses by knockout. He's like Alejandro Berrio II.

Gomez-Klitschko
Fight almost didn’t happen. Thank goodness ring issues were fixed earlier.
"Count on us! We sponsored Margarito for several years." - CEMEX [Mexico's largest cement company.]
Those were just dumb
Seriously? A 13 foot ring? With a rope 9 inches off the mat? Really dumb mistakes, but also really easy to fix. Not something anyone should have been making a fuss about.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Woah… that is one small ass ring for the big boys. It would have provided alot of action.

Oh by the way… I went to last nights FNF. It was kickass. I saw Marquez and Hopkins. I didn’t get a chance to mingle with them. The crowd went apeshit it was clear that Marquez was in the house. I was told by a buddy of mine when I was at work that he was at the Best Buy shopping around before the fight. People recognized him and was cool about giving pictures and talking to fans.
Pretty good card and a bargain for 82 dollar ringside seats. It is nice to have these small fight venues. It was a packed house. They did good promotion, seats were 7,27,57, and 82 bucks.
Everyone and their mother boo’ed the scorecards at the end. I thought Roman won. Nonetheless they put together a nice scrap.The russian guy, looked like Kosta but just doesn’t have the pop he had. I expected a KO. Andrade looked like a stud and was freaking huge compared to the guy he was matched up with.

Ruslan Provodnikov. I quite like him. Not great power but he comes to fight.

Sherdog Records for tonight’s MMA fights.
Roy Nelson vs. Jeff Monson
Bob Lashley vs. Jason Guida
Din Thomas vs. Gabe Lemley
Dennis Hallman vs. Danny Ruiz
"Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment."
-Lao Tzu
For the people going to watch
The most grappling based of these fights is certainly going to be Monson vs Nelson. Monson is a former world submission grappling champion who is like 5’9" and built like a brick shithouse. Nelson is so fat that its hard not to mock him but he’s actually a very skilled Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown to black belt level grappler. Pretty much he stays fat because it benefits his style. Monson should give him a clinic on the ground all the same as he has a more positional based amateur wrestling + submission style.
All that said who knows. Maybe Nelson doesn’t want to go to the ground with Monson and scores some fluke KO. That’s the appeal some guys see in MMA. So if you for some reason DESPISE the ground game that would PROBABALY be the fight to take a dump during. I’ll be watching it as I’ve learned the nuances a bit and I’ll try to do color for whats going on here to explain to those uninformed that are watching.
Lashley is of course a former pro wrestler. He also is a 3 time NAIA, I think thats Jr. College, (which for the record in wrestling is comparable to D-1 level athletics not in depth but in that there are the random world class level guys that end up there). Guida is a complete toolkit who couldn’t make weight for his chance to be on the UFC’s reality show and botched his one break in an otherwise completely mediocre career. Stepping stone for Lashley to crush basically. I have no affinity for Guida and hope for a brutal beatdown.
Din Thomas is getting past his prime but used to be a very exciting and dynamic stand up fighter. I recognize Lemley’s name but can’t place any of his fights.
Hallman and Ruiz hopefully is a sloppy slugfest. Beyond that I’m not too concerned about it.
Gimme 1 round!

NAIA is tiny colleges
Not JCs per se, but really really small schools. It’s MANY MANY MANY levels below NCAA.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
In wrestling though
Its a different story. Division 2 guys regularly win National championships. D-3 guys often jump up to D-1 and are successful. Circumstances sometimes even have Junior College guys ranked #1 in the nation. As much as Tito Ortiz annoyed me. He was a JC national champion and a nationally ranked D-1 level guy.
Kermit Cintron went to a JC but was ranked #10 in the nation his Frosh year just as a more relative example

It's a different level completely though
NAIA is non-scholarship for starters. It’s just not even the same level of competition, and it’s very rare to have any elite level players come out of lower divisions, and much rarer even for NAIA.
Vogt early, Vogt often.

Check out what Jon Jones did to Stephan Bonnar as an NAIA level guy.
I also got Lashley’s thing down at the bottom. He was a 4 time All-American in addition to 3 time NAIA champ.

I meant to put this in the prediction post or in this post, but I forgot both times. It’s not that amazing or interesting, but for those that picked Roy by stoppage: Roy Jones Jr. has not stopped anyone inside the limit since beating Clinton Woods (TKO-6) on September 7, 2002. Since then he’s 5-4 and has been knocked silly twice.

So, here we have a Soviet-era Ukranian who was born in Krygyzstan, lives in LA, trains in Pennsylvania and ran for mayor in Kiev against a native Cuban who defected to Argentina and belongs to an American Muslim church. And they both fight in Germany.

for the record
I am slightly pissed at the sports “Gods” right now (not that I believe there are sports Gods). Michigan’s in the NCAA tournament for the first time in 11 years and they tip their second-round game at 5:56, while boxing on ESPN Classic starts at 6. Like, screw you.

Too lazy
I still think Allen Iverson could have been an ATG boxer had he gone into boxing though.

Young Shaq was too lazy too
And Shaq was my all time favorite when I was younger. Grew up a huge Magic fan.

Yes it would have to be one of the really gritty guys from the other sports
Thats why I said Ray Lewis and Ron Artest. I think Lebron is just a ridiculously freak athlete that moves like a cat and weighs 250 lbs.

I gotta pay attention to the Klitschko fight, though. I’m just biting the bullet and missing part or most of the first half. THAT’S LIFE. THAT’S WHAT ALL THE PEOPLE SAYYY.

I really think Michigan has a shot at winning. They’ll either stay in it or lose by 25. They tried to give it away to Clemson in the first round up by 15. Almost did.

“(Vitali) submitted in that fight.”
“Torn rotator cuff.”
“Yeah, but… it is FIGHTING.”
I know what he means, but I think things like this are just moronic. A cut and a torn rotator cuff are massively different ailments.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Eh
He could have continued the fight. Very easily. Yes, it hurts. But it was close to the end of the fight. He could have not used his left arm for three rounds and still won handily. IMO, he quit in that fight.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
he's a very stationary fighter
not having 1 arm for him would be badnews. He’s not a guy that moves and circles. He could easily have caught a vicious beating not even being able to lift his hand up to cover his chin.
Anybody that needs surgery scheduled as soon as the fight is over I can’t question for quitting. Unless maybe its a broken foot for a boxer. Suck that shit up.

I have too actually. No one punched me, though, so I’m not sure if it would hurt bad or not. I assume it wouldn’t help matters any but it’d be a lot easier than punching or throwing a baseball.

Klitschko-Gomez R1
Gomez pawing pawing pawing to start. Vitali pawing back at him. It’s like cats sparring.
Now they hug.
Back to paw. And Klitschko tries to double fist him or something. Klitschko looks INTENSELY immobile. Like amazingly stiff. It’s Valuev-level stiff. Klitschko looks like he cannot actually move. This is a terrible first round. He’s throwing these right hand haymakers from nowhere, has no jab, and looks absolutely horrendous. Like seriously.
Gomez 10-9

Vitali round. He handed the stronger punches that round, but still didn’t look particularly good.

he looks terrible
I cannot stress enough how bad I think he looks in there. He looks half-awake, unprepared, and like he’s 50 years old.

Klitschko-Gomez R2
I really can’t get over how stiff Vitali is. Gomez is throwing a few counters and landing here and there so he’s winning basically by default thus far. Klitschko with a jab. Now he’s back to the awkward “get away from me!” punching.
Klitschko with a jab and a right. Very slow, but landed. Gomez should really go to the boy right now. He’s right there for the picking. Vitali throwing chopping rights, Teddy says he’s giving his height away and he’s totally right. Kenny calls Klitschko’s rights this round “two sharp, jarring right hands” — they didn’t really appear to jar Gomez to me. He just moved back and reset. Klitschko landing a few. Gomez getting close very easily and doing nothing. Bell rings and Klitschko can’t stop himself from punching after it sounds because ten seconds earlier he’d started winding up.
Klitschko 10-9
19-19
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Gomez 10 -9 in round 1
Klit whupped him pretty good in Rd 2. Alot more difinitive than Gomez’s 1

Eh… I think Haye would beat down Vitali with how he looks thus far…
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."
if Vitali came in as cold as he was in the first and second
I think there’s a solid shot Haye can overwhelm and hurt him early.

Klitschko-Gomez R3
I don’t get what Gomez is doing. Vitali looks completely ripe for the picking in there and Gomez is lunging or getting inside and doing nothing with it. He’s not attacking a guy that clearly has come in off his game. Klitschko starting to land the left hook with relative ease and Gomez has no answer for it. Vitali looks like he’s warming up, he doesn’t look nearly as stiff, and he’s just throwing ugly, lazy rights to go with that left hook when he can. Gomez is giving this away.
Vitali has Gomez on the run now. Klitschko’s two winning rounds are far better than Gomez’s one.
Klitschko 10-9
Klitschko 29-28

Klitschko-Gomez R4
Vital throwing sledgehammer shots now. Not pretty, not scientific, just thudding shots as Gomez appears to have no idea what to really do. This fight is butt fugly and rotten to the core. I’m not trying to be a total dick or anything, but this is so unathletic-looking that it’s amazing to me. And Klitschko is starting to completely dominate this horrible fight. The eye is swelling for Gomez.
Total control from Klitschko now as they keep trying to sell me that Gomez is providing a “stern test.” He’s really, really not. He was for a round.
Klitschko 10-9
Klitschko 39-37
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
He's making a lot of dumb mistakes
Not attacking the body, circling in the wrong direction, not throwing enough in general, not moving his head when he comes in. His trainers should be reminding him these things, but Gomez just isn’t fighting well. These are things I’ve seen him do before.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Has Gomez landed a punch in the last 2 rounds?
His eye will be shut before the 8th. Klit has warmed up and is straight beating his ass.

Gomez isn't a good liar
That tongue sticking out thing is just him trying to motivate himself now. He’s getting beaten SOUNDLY

Klit is circling right and Kenny keeps saying its a mistake. I think Klit is just trying to get Gomez into HIS power zone.
"I want to see ocean. I want to see black people. I want to see palms." - Wladimir Klitschko
His best punch is his left hook
And circling the ‘conventional’ way by Gomez means it puts him squarely in range for that punch.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Klitschko-Gomez R5
Gomez now bleeding. Klistchko is throwing ENTIRELY with his arms. He has no torque on his shots. Klitschko is working around the ring very slowly, which is more that Gomez is just letting him do it. Gomez starts to turn it up a little bit. Stiff right from Vitali, still all arm. That was a square shot — if Vitali wasn’t still stiff (he’s better than early on, but he still doesn’t look good) and had his ass into that shot, Gomez might’ve been turfed.
Another fairly easy round for Klitschko, but Gomez did slightly better I guess.

Klitschko-Gomez R6
Teddy Atlas tells me that things were definitely better back when everyone was better at sports than they are now, anywhere from 20 to 50 years ago.
Gomez falls down as he’s either tripped up, slips, or Klitschko sort of dragged him down with the hand behind the head. Whatever it was, that’s about all this ugg-fest was missing. A guy falling over. It’s complete now.
Sadly this is still 1000% better than Wladimir-Ibragimov or Valuev-Holyfield.
Klitschko keeps landing a few thudding blows here and there, and there’s a few shots that get Gomez to lunge and hug. That’s really all he’s doing anymore. Hugging. Klitschko has a cut on his forehead from a clash of skulls. Looks like it’s near his hairline.
Another Klitschko round.
Klitschko 10-9
Klitschko 59-55
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
The blood seems to have woken up Gomez
and he’s being more aggressive again.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Is wrong to want Vit to throw the uppercut when Gomez sticks his tongue out?
Would that be a TKO stoppage?
Gimme 1 round!
Klitschko-Gomez R7
Gomez pressing a little more in the first minute. When he actually throws real punches with the intent of landing them on Klitschko’s face (forget the body, since Gomez has), he seems to frustrate Vitali. Gomez has Klitschko backing down! Good left, and another there. Nice stuff. He’s looking much better.
Oops — BIG RIGHT FROM VITALI! Gomez goes down. Klitschko pressing and going for the kill. BIG right! Now he’s just firing with all he’s got. Clubberin’ right hands. Gomez wrestles Klitschko to the ground. NOW it’s complete. A tackle. All the uggo points.
Gomez is getting destroyed in there now. This is all but over. Another right lands! He makes it out of the round, though.
Klitschko 10-8
Klitschko 69-63
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Gomez gets the wits knocked out of him
And by not knowing what’s going on, he shows his first slickness of the fight.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Klitschko-Gomez R8
Let’s see if Vitali goes for the whomp. First minute says no. Gomez is staying away now. Vitali lumbering around again, waiting for his spots. Now with about 40 seconds left he’s throwing some. Gomez just stands and eats, then hugs. Gomez hurt again, 15 seconds left. He looked like he wantd to quit for a second. Bell sounds.
Klitschko 10-9
Klitschko 79-72
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Corner has to stop it now
If your fighter wants to quit you quit for him before he gets hurt. Though I don’t like Gomez don’t wanna see him have to make that choice

Klitschko-Gomez R9
And we fight on.
Right hand hurts Gomez again, and now he’s cut on the other eye. Vitali getting docked a point for a headbutt, and it appeared very obvious.
Right hand, Gomez down again. Gomez is getting his ass kicked. He’ll fight on.
Gomez doing all he can to get inside. Klitschko’s wailing away, but has yet to land the one clean shot that probably ends this thing. Gomez turning all over, getting pummeled, and they stop it.
Vitali Klitschko TKO-9

Stoppage, terrible fight
Maybe Hopkins should go to HW after he wins the CW title lol, he may be able to beat VK.
Considering Gomez came out with the intention of stinking out the joint
I think its pretty hard to put that on Klit. All Gomez did is try and catch Vitaly’s punches and occasionally counterpunch.

It was better than Austin,Rahman, Ibragimov or Brewste vs Wald
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Wlad’s jab is the best way to fight. Unfortunately it makes fights look horrible.

You know, that was ridiculous. Vitali was just standing there, waiting for someone sensible to step in and stop this mess.

Does Teddy Atlas have some sort of beef with Klit?
Yeah HW sucks. But they’ve beaten everybody there is to fight. Haye will get crushed next.

Teddy kept saying
“I’d be yelling at him to stop circling to his right” Yeah well, Teddy would’ve been wrong. Klit was moving Gomez into HIS power zone, which is exactly what he should’ve done with a low-power puncher like Gomez.

Vogt early, Vogt often.
featherweight I meant to say
Just gave awy my slightly ill informed perspective. I should have said this ten minutes sooner. The ring walks were the most over blown I have EVER seen
Looked like Cordoba won the first round
But I can’t really say definitively because the feed froze for 10 seconds a few times
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Hmmmm
Looked as though that was more even in R2. But, Yeah, the commentator is wearing Green goggles I think
Cordoba went down like a ton of bricks.
Nailed on a counter left uppercut, and fell back about 10 feet before hitting the canvas. Cordoba was clearly winning the round up to that point, and is back for the start of the next round.

Cordoba unloads with a HUGE combo at the end of the round
Just wails on him for 10 seconds, but somehow Dunne blocks enough to stay standing and makes it out of the round. I’d be shocked if this goes more than 2 more rounds.

Dirty tricks
Dunne’s trainer stays in the ring way after the bell rings, giving Dunne an extra 20 seconds or so to recover

See my response below
Bute knocked down Andrade, Kessler didn’t. Kessler looked like crap because of how he was peppered all fight, Bute was barely touched. He simply ran out of gas at the end of the fight, and he still managed to get up at the end.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Kessler never came close to knocking down Andrade
And Kessler’s face looked like a tomato by the end of the fight. Bute
Vogt early, Vogt often.
well, we'll agree to disagree
IBF rules say all Bute had to do was get up. He was up before 10 easy. The referee was horrible, but more in his behavior than his “screwjobbing.”

Absolutely not
We’ll just agree to disagree there, because you’re not convincing me. Under the rules of boxing, Bute won the fight. The time was up, and he was on his feet by 8, even if the count wasn’t broken. I know SC’s with me on this one.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Lacy is shot as hell anyway
His aggressiveness is what made him special, he hasn’t been aggressive since he got his ass kicked by Calzaghe

2. BJ not pressing any.

Flores-Herrera R2
Herrera rushing at Flores to start the round, and BJ clinches up. These guys are totally against the idea of engaging the other in a fight, it would appear. Herrera really ought to just make him bang at all costs. He’s not going to win a decision. He’s never even GONE to a decision. The way he can win is via KO.
Herrera misses a wild right. BJ working the jab a little. Very stiff. He does have a perfectly fine jab. Herrera tries to work his way in but Flores cuts him off pretty easily. Flores with a jab to the body. Col. Bob says BJ is “setting everything up off the jab right now” — I’d like to see the result of this at some point. He’s using his jab and that’s all, staying out of Herrera’s wheelhouse. Now he tries to attack the body. Bell sounds as Herrera clips him with a right.
Fight stinks. Meet BJ Flores, everyone.
Flores 10-9

Flores-Herrera R3
Herrera’s lack of aggression really surprises me. I have to say I expected more of a banger than this. Actually now he’s starting to work. Col. Bob says this is a “real good fight.” I promise you it isn’t.
BJ finds the right hand. Now he goes back to the jab. Flores working fairly nicely near the end of the round, and he damn sure hurt Herrera near the end of this one.

Flores’ fights are so dull to try and describe in text. He’s OK at what he does, but what he does is white bread kind of stuff. Flores working the jabs. Col. Bob: “Herrera’s as tough as they come, too.” He’s been knocked out five times. They come tougher.
Flores is:
1. Way better a boxer.
2. A better puncher, it would appear.
3. Stronger chinned.
Herrera’s high cheekbones are giving him some redness, but he’s in no trouble at all. BIG SHOT! Hey, then the bell rings. Rinse, repeat.

Flores with some body work, then warned to … keep it up? It didn’t look anywhere near low. I always forget how to spell this referee’s name, but he’s been fucking awful the last few times we’ve seen him.
Herrera keeps trying to go to the body with a right. It’s not really landing much. Flores is totally out of the fight this round. Like Nate just said, he’s just waiting too much. Right by Flores misses. Flores snapping the jab again. Flores misses a haymaker. No round stealin’ this time.

This is why I said earlier that Col. Bob is past his prime. He’s seeing a fight that does not exist. He’s apologizing for this and calling me stupid for not liking it. It’s a rotten, boring fight with two guys that aren’t trying to do anything. PERIOD. It’s a horrible fight. This is garbage, and this guy is telling me it’s “really good.” To be completely honest, it’s pissing me off.
Flores controlling another round with some pointless aggression that he knows isn’t really going anywhere but looks good if you don’t pay much attention. Flores is worse than usual. He wants nothing to do with a fight. And Herrera is absolutely no better.

Flores-Herrera R10
This is the last round of this glorified sparring session.
Herrera coming out to bang. Col. Bob is talking about him in quaint tones. Aww, what a cute charge from this tough streetfighter!
Listen, I’m not dumping on the fighters. BJ Flores is who he is. Herrera is who he is. They’re working and they worked hard to get here. The fighters are brave guys and deserve respect. But that doesn’t make this GOOD.
Anyway, Flores firing back a little now, and landing some with Herrera on the ropes with about 40 seconds left. Nice body shot by BJ. FLORES HURT ON A RIGHT! Both threw nice rights, and I think Flores was stunned. if Herrera had a shot after that one, that might’ve been it. BJ got a second to absorb, move back, and recover. Very interesting final few moments. If only Herrera had something behind that right.

Jones-Sheika R1
Sheika starting with some pressure, going to the body and pressing Roy into the ropes. Jones with a slick left hook. Lunges with another left hook. Now the Roy lunatics are going to say he’s BACK if he keeps landing those shots. Y’know, on Omar Sheika. Sheika with a right, mostly blocked.
Roy to the body with three shots to the body and two uppercuts. He’s slashing Sheika up. Again, if this were someone that wasn’t 17 months off, one fight since 2005, never beat anyone Omar Sheika, this might be more exciting. Roy looks like an old, slow shadow of his former self. I just can’t get excited, even when there’s some vintage Roy-ness like five or six fast shots to the body followed with a check hook.
BIG RIGHT ROY JONES! Fuck, I’m excited now. I can’t help it. Great crowd and I love Roy.
LEFT HOOK STINGS SHEIKA! And there’s another one. Sheika drives him to the ropes again. Jab, two shots to the body. “Great” opening round for Roy Jones.

Jones-Sheika R2
Sheika again presses right off. Couple of rights picked off, and Roy fires to the body again. Uppercuts are landing nicely. 1-2 lands easy. Roy is so much faster than Sheika I sort of feel bad for Omar. He clearly has no business being out there against someone other than a tomato can to shake the rust off. Sheika’s showing his grit by coming forward, but it’s just going to get him tagged.
Jones destroying him. With check hooks CHECK HOOK CHECK HOOK CHECK HOOK and body shots.
I mean this is just not even close. Still, I see nothing that tells me Roy Jones can beat a top dog at 175. Nothing at all. This is sort of like what Calzaghe-Jones looked like, but Sheika is playing Roy.
Col. Bob tries to tell me that Omar Sheika is “a world-class fighter.” No — never. Not once.

Jones-Sheika R3
Roy letting his hands go, doesn’t land one of the ten or twelve punches he just threw. Sheika put his hands up and nothing happened to him. Bob Sheridan thinks Las Vegas is Jeff Lacy’s “backyard.” Jeff Lacy is from Florida.
Roy missing more than he was the first two rounds. Left hook from Sheika lands flush, now Roy does that sad old man taunt that was cool looking when he was 27 and then knocked a guy on his ass right after the showboat. Omar eats an uppercut. Sheika comes at him hard and digs to the body. Sheika kinda looks totally unaffected by Jones shots. There’s no power behind them.
Jones with a couple more body shots, then a left hook lands hard. Sheika shows little reaction but he might’ve gotten stung there.
