They're usually pretty good over there
But I don’t think you can order the webcast if you’re in the US. I think it’s just non-US/Philippines/Mexico that can order the GFL PPV.

Just for background
I’ve bought about 5 or 6 cards on GFL, and I only had problems with one of them, and those problems were on the fight side (the sound cut out for about a half hour).

Just ordered. Graham Houston agrees with your picks on Mayol and Sonsona, can’t be a bad thing!
Graham’s the most underrated boxing writer there is, IMO.

Yeah, I'm in England so it should be fine

Then again with that moustache Tim Bradley looks like he’s stuck in 1991, too, so I guess it makes sense. I wonder if he wears those high-fastening pants that ruin Boyz N the Hood visually.

Vazquez-Sonsona R1
Tentative first minute from both. Both guys kinda pawing and not quite ready to engage. Sonsona throwing down the pipe. Vazquez looks a bit more reluctant than Sonsona so far. Sonsona whipping the lefts, but not connecting. Slow first round, not much going, but Sonsona was a bit more aggressive.
Sonsona 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Sonsona 10-9
Wide round. I’m not sure Vazquez actually landed a punch. Of course, in Puerto Rico, because Sonsona didn’t score a knockout, that’s probably a 10-9 round for Vazquez.
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
I love how Bob spends a minute explaining how to tell Sonsona and Vazquez apart
when he could just say “Sonsona is the Asian one”
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Vazquez-Sonsona R2
Sonsona looks a lot faster, but he gets clipped there by Vazquez barely. Vazquez is not looking eager to engage. I think Sonsona’s speed is worrying him a little bit. This is not to say that Marvin is especially aggressive, but he’s much more so. Sonsona gets in a bad spot, Vazquez tries to open up, and Sonsona ties him up right. Vazquez starting to clip Sonsona more and more. He’s backing Sonsona down pretty well with his right hand. I think he’s been looking for openings and is seeing htem. Straight right by Vazquez gets in.
Vazquez 10-9
19-19
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Vazquez round
But it was closer than the commentators made it sound
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Sonsona has a mark under his left eye.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Vazquez-Sonsona R3
Vazquez gets the better of an early round exchange. Sonsona is feeling Vazquez’s power some, I think. Vazquez seems like he’s trying to lead now to neutralize Sonsona’s speed, which is a good idea to be sure. Sonsona turns himself around into bad positions a bit too often. Two left hooks to the body by Vazquez, but Sonsona comes back with his speed, only to have Vazquez slip those shots. Vazquez is looking more and more confident.
Left to the body by Sonsona, then shots upstairs are blocked. Sonsona warned for using his forearms to shove Vazquez. Left hook to the body again by Vazquez, then one shakes Sonsona upstairs. Vazquez hammering at hte end of the round with Sonsona covering up. Big round for Vazquez.
Vazquez 10-9
Vazquez 29-28
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Vazquez round again
Sonsona just seems too tentative. Which is the last thing he seemed a few fights ago. He has the advantages if he lets his hands go, but he just isn’t doing it.
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Vazquez-Sonsona R4
Vazquez has definitely become the stalker. Sonsona backs himself up to the ropes and gets his arms up again. Left hand by Vazquez, Sonsona spins it around and Vazquez ties him up. Tactically, Vazquez is sort of taking Sonsona to school now. He just looks a lot smarter.
Vazquez pressuring and landing with both hands. That right hand is breaking the guard. Sonsona is doing nothing offensively. He’s got to let his hands go. BIG RIGHT SNAPS SONSONA’S HEAD BACK! DOWN GOES SONSONA ON A BODY SHOT!
HE MAY NOT MAKE IT!
HE WILL NOT!
Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. KO-4

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."

I gotta see a replay, I didn’t think it looked that lethal initially, but he was not getting up

Might have been a low blow, but I didn’t see a low blow, and they haven’t showed a replay

Sonsona looked so off colour there, I suppose he is just a 19yr old kid. Kept getting trapped on the ropes
Yeah. He got really badly outboxed. But he’s 19 and has a ton of talent. He’ll be back.

I'm not sure he has the motivation
He’s pretty clearly regressed even in his last few fights. Wasn’t moving his head at all this fight, wasn’t really moving, seemed afraid to throw punches.

I don't buy it
I think he was looking for the exit. I don’t blame him cuz he was getting beat, but I don’t think that punch really put him down as much as he just went down.
Regardless, Vazquez was gonna win this fight.
"Yes Gina, I am a Wise Cracker"
Doesn’t seem to have his heart into Boxing.

Yeah it was a good shot. But even from the 2nd round you can see Vazquez imposing his will. And Sonsona looked like he had no desire to stop him.

He was supposedly having trouble getting to 122 in the final week. But if they can get him to bust his ass and make 118, I definitely agree. He’s got a truckload of talent and I still like him a lot. Guys lose when they take good fights. He had the guts to take this good fight.

They just went apeshit at the end of the round there. I think Estrada took it at the end, but after Estrada dominated the first half of the round with the jab, Rivero just went crazy and started throwing all kinds of punches when he was hurt.

That show is really good. It’s so much more … I dunno … real than “24/7”. I love 24/7 too, but it’s reality TV with storylines and predictable stuff and it is what it is.

This guy's punches are crazy
All angles, completely wild. If Estrada knew how to block punches, he’d be in decent shape, but he keeps blocking the punches with his face.
Judge deducts a point from Rivero for no reason.

They did it earlier, too
The Col. said that the field goal kicker should be quiet as either McBronson or McJoe Arroyo might hear him
Rivero looks like he might be gassing out. This was a heroic effort if it goes the way it looks like it is.

Came back with a vengeance that round. Every time he gets hurt, he starts to kick ass. He seemed like he had nothing left, then out of nowhere came with a bunch of bombs.

I’m not giving Estrada enough credit, either. He’s landed plenty and is also tougher than leather. This fight is great.

Holyu crap
Seriously, every time this guy gets hurt, he just comes back even harder. The ref almost looks like he WANTS to jump in and stop the fight, and Rivero just won’t let him.
The commentators both gave the round to Estrada, but I gave it to Rivero again.
85-85

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Mayol-Nino R1
Both guys active but not landing in the opening minute. More of the same in the second minute. Nothing clean landing. The headbutts are going to come, by the way. That’s the most obvious thing so far.
Speed-wise, they look about even. Nino with some shots at the end, I think he barely takes it.
Nino 10-9

Mayol-Nino R2
Mayol is swarming! Nino is hurt. There’s a right again. Uppercut is landing big. Nino is getting overwhelmed! Mayol is laying into him hard, but then Nino pushes him back. Here comes Nino. Man Nino stood up to that stuff. Mayol knocks him back again. Mayol is just firing and firing and firing. This is a good start to this fight. Good thing Roberto Ramirez isn’t the ref, it’d be over.
Ref is Vic Drakulich, for the record.
Mayol is definitely seeking the knockout. He’s got a ton of confidence brewing. Big round for Mayol.

That’s gonna get changed to a NC. It has to.
They’ve got Mayol in a neck brace.

Nino low blows Mayol
Draculich is jumping in to stop the action, but as Vic is grabbing him, he throws a huge left hook that knocks out Mayol cold. Borderline call there. Should either be a DQ or a NC probably.

Appropriate for Mayol to lose his belt on a foul

New Champion!? This is a farce. He clearly knew he’d landed low, and he followed up anyway.

I can’t blame Nino, really. He didn’t see Drakulich coming behind him. This is very unfortunate.

Shouldn't really be a DQ either
Not really the same as Luevano-Concepcion
Bad Left Hook - The SB Nation boxing blog
"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Regadless if he saw him or not. He had to have known he had landed low and the shot had done the damage, and with Mayol clearly grimacing and turning away… it’s just shitty sporsmanship to follow through. It’s almost like hitting a guy who’s clearly down, just because the ref doesn’t get in there in time.

It looks like Draculich is gonna call it a NC
