I think the place will go nuts come the main event time…

I have only seen De Marco fight 2 o r 3 times (including his last fight) and i just don’t see what he can do to keep Valero off him.He seems like a decent technical boxer but his tall,skinny frame makes me think he won’t be able to hold a big shot well.
And no one throws them bigger than Valero at this weight.
I suppose there is a chance DeMarco can frustrate and outbox Valero.
I read Doug Fischer ‘s article about Valero leaving Kenny Adams and later Robert Alcazar for this new trainer,Mario Morales and he thinks this will work against him as Morales is a unheralded guy who doesn’t seem to have the knowledge to improve Valero’s technique,defense,etc.
Still,early KO for Valero,imo.RD3.

Could you put up boxes (or another post) for Adamek Estrada as well? I’ll RBR that one.

Dennis “Mama’s Boy” Douglin vs. Eddie Hunter

Oh my goodness… cheezy mentos commercials… Man i miss those…

IIRC, they were going to be playing old Adamek fights all day.

Majewski is 20-0, and he’s fighting a guy who’s 6-3.

It is showtime…

Sorry guys… no labtop… so I doubt I will post alot while seeing the fight

There’s nothing “good” about drawing a guy with an 11-8-1 record coming in.

Well different rules…

Head butt rule

Open scoring

Foul rule… can check it

All I ask for undercard fighters is to let their hands go… so thank you for doing that…

They’re throwing bombs again to start this round, neither landing clean on the first exchanges. Right hand thuds on Gutierrez’s head. Left hook for Gutierrez lands, but not hard. This is getting a little more herky-jerky in the second part of the round, as both are not exactly tentative, but know the other guy can punch. There they let the hands fly, and Gutierrez gets the better of it. Right by Abregu, Gutierrez fires back. Gutierrez nailed by Abregu! And now a left hook stings Abregu! Abregu might have stolen that round at the end.

Ugly fight, and Quillin is probably winning, but he ain’t looking good doing it.

Yep, on the outside corner of the eye. Big right by Abregu! Right from Gutierrez is short. That one is not! That hurt Abregu! Abregu ties up quickly.

Abregu might be tired. Now he hits Gutierrez! Abregu looking worse for wear, but has no less fight in him. Gutierrez bleeding from the mouth now, says Gus. Good final minute for Richard, but Abregu’s round.

Abregu 10-9
Gutierrez 66-65

Abregu’s cut isn’t terrible, but certainly isn’t good.

Good left to the body by Abregu. Abregu throws a lot of shots, then paws at his cut. Most shots were totally blocked. Abregu is hunched over in there. He’s tiring pretty rapidly. Still, I give him that round.

Abregu 10-9
75-75

Abregu is pushed down by Gutierrez, sort of wrapped him around the head and shoved a little. Abregu is tired, though. That had plenty to do with it.

Yeah, they’re right: 77-73 and 78-72 twice for Abregu. Gutierrez needs to the KO. Press row has it 75-74 Gutierrez, 75-75 and a card I missed for Abregu.

Gutierrez is certainly stalking to start this round, and Abregu is totally on his bike out there. I mean he throws now and again to keep it honest, but mostly he’s staying away from Gutierrez. Open scoring! Fun for everyone. Abregu knows all he has to do is survive these two rounds, so he’s jogging his way through it.

Abregu throws a bit with about 20 seconds left in the round, maybe trying to steal the round late.

Gutierrez 10-9
Gutierrez 85-84

Looks like you guys saw the better fight. I’m sure Quillin won a wide decision, but he didn’t look good doing it.

Abregu is totally on the run now. This is why people hate open scoring, WBC, you dolts. Running, holding, that’s all Abregu is going to do. Left hook by Gutierrez, and he’s swinging from deep down now. Abregu goes to the body, then unleashes the right but it misses. Gutierrez barely misses a home run right hand. Abregu lets his hands fly with about 30 seconds left, but it’s mostly for show.

Honestly, though, I think Abregu might have landed more decent punches this round. Abregu with a left hook. I actually give him the round for that. Gutierrez didn’t do much of anything.

Gutierrez raises his arms for no reason whatsoever. Everyone knows he lost.

Abregu 10-9

You aren’t the best Abregu…

CARLOS ABREGU via unanimous decision

I do like watching Abregu. He’s a fun guy. Gus Johnson calls this fight “technical.” OK, Gus. I think these scores were really wide, for the record, and I doubt I’m the only one who feels that way. This was a very close fight. I don’t have a problem with Abregu winning, but it was not that wide.

I am Valero… I have to get the KO no matter what… if it goes the distance he will lose even if he gets some knockdowns…

the tape mysteriously calls Adamek 6’3" now, after he’d been 6’1" his entire career.

Getting a pretty decent chorus of boos, despite having been a US Olympian

About 2/3 of the NY Metro Area Polish population has to be there right now.

“Tonight for the first time in front of an international audience.”

Sure why not.

Did anyone else catch that guy violently ripping the Corona sign out of that girl’s hand?

The arena is absolutely ROCKING.

Estrada and Adamek meet in the middle of the ring. Both guys fire off a couple of jabs. Adamek looks pretty ripped in the back – I can’t imagine he’ll ever be able to get back to 200 now. Estrada lunges in, and Adamek counters with a couple of right hands. Adamek with a couple of left hooks to the body while Estrada misses a jab. Solid uppercut to Estrada’s body. A couple of more good hooks to Estrada’s body. Estrada comes in and lands a 1-2 combo on Adamek. Estrada with a soft right hand that scores an amateur point but does no damage. Estrada rushes in on Adamek sumo style and backs him into the ropes.

Adamek 10-9

what the fuck is this shit…

I don’t think we see round four start

Estrada with some good body movement, throwing out jabs, but not really landing. Adamek qith a sneaky quick left to the body. Adamek with a shoeshine flurry to Estrada’s head. Big right by Estrada while Adamek misses. Adamek with a couple of hooks to the body. Really focusing a lot on Estrada’s soft looking body. Estrada with a couple of punches up top while Adamek pounds him to the body.

Big right hand by Adamek. The two sort of wrestle up against the ropes at the end of the round, and Adamek lands a couple of punches. Much closer round. I’ll give it to Estrada, but the judges probably give it to Adamek with that crowd in their ears.

19-19

DeMarco with a jab, Valero throws but doesn’t quite get there. Valero stalking. DeMarco doesn’t look too enthusiastic about throwing punches. Both guys are short on what they’re throwing for the most part. I think Valero’s cut?

Left hand by Valero. Big shots by Valero, DeMarco takes it pretty well. Yeah, Valero’s cut. Jab by DeMarco does nothing but get a rise out of the crowd. DeMarco misses on a big 1-2 attempt.

Valero 10-9

It is the first time Valero has seen his own blood…

The cut is on the cheek, well under the eye. Shouldn’t be a real problem unless DeMarco can mouse it up.

Estrada with a flurry up top, but Adamek ducks under and lands a couple of nice shots to the body. Adamek with a series of rights that lands. Estrada tries to throw and lands a couple of light shots, then Adamek counters with a right hand that makes a huge popping sound on Estrada’s face. Estrada with a sharp jab. Estrada keeps doubling up the jab and following it with a right hand, and he’s having good success landing that right hand, but it just isn’t doing much.

Estrada with a big left hook that pushes Adamek back while he’s off balance. The two mix it up at the end of the round, and Estrada gets the best of that. Adamek was pretty clearly winning the round, but Estrada might have stolen it in the last 10 seconds on some cards, just not mine.

29-28 Adamek

Adamek circling, but neither guy throwing too much to lead off the round. Estrada jumps in with the 1-1-2 combo and the right hand connects at the end. Adamek with a flurry that throws Estrada off balance for a second. Adamek with some solid work to the body. Estrada with a strong 1-2 that seems to just miss. Adamek with a strong jab, and then a right hand. Nice three punch combo from Adamek, but Estrada lands a big right hand at the end of it. That’s happened a few times now.

Adamek’s best round of the evening.

39-37 Adamek

You know anywhere else this would be stopped… by now.

Valero swarming on him in the corner, but DeMarco gets out of there quickly. Left by Valero grazes. DeMarco with a nice, stiff jab. He’s really relaxed. Al and Gus are talking about it, and it’s true. Valero hurting on an elbow shot and alerting Cole to it, and there’s a MASSIVE gash over his left eye. Holy fuck that’s huge. Clear elbow shot.

They’re going to look at the cut. That thing is bad.

That is terrible, and they’re going to let it go. Accidental foul is ruled by Cole, no points taken.

Valero now feeling the urgency I think, throwing a heavy right hook and getting much more aggressive. Valero WINGING shots! Here the hell we go.

Valero is really throwing big shots. DeMarco just staying calm and avoiding it. Big shot by DeMarco and there goes a mouthpiece! DeMarco throwing now! Valero with a left! This crowd is insane.

Six seconds left and they replace the mouthpiece. Nothing happens.

DeMarco 10-9
19-19

That’s brutal. Totally accidental too.

One on the eyelid too.

Valero starting to really throw. DeMarco is holding up so far, but he’s getting sloppier and sloppier, or at least riskier. DeMarco firing back. So far he’s done a good job avoiding clean shots from Valero. Valero’s landed a few, but not a ton, and DeMarco has done a pretty good job defensively.

Valero 10-9
Valero 29-28

Estrada’s corner urging him to throw more power punches. Both guys simultaneously land right hooks. Neither guy really hurting the other at all. There’s good action for a heavyweight fight, but the crowd is getting antsy anyway and waiting for more big shots from Adamek. Estrada with a body shot and a hook, and the ref warns him for punching low, even though it was a clean shot.

Adamek with a three shot combo. Estrada with a missed combo and then clinches. Estrada is really the guy doing most of the moving forward here, while Adamek is pumping out punches while circling backwards. Adamek with another strong round. Estrada can’t seem to crack this nut, not that the follow-up right isn’t landing.

49-46 Adamek

This is a very interesting fight…

Stiff jab by DeMarco. Valero is getting quite aggressive. Big shots by Valero! DeMarco wobbles a hair, but he stays up and appears to have his legs under him still. Crowd is crazy for DeMarco, as you’d expect, but Valero is pretty well dominating this fight right now. He’s not letting DeMarco breathe. Upjab from Valero lands. Left hand lands. DeMarco might be getting broken down systematically now. He’s shown he can take a punch, though. Good left from DeMarco.

Gus Johnson’s hard-on for DeMarco is huge.

Valero 10-9
Valero 39-36

Here is the thing… if you are a mexican dr… do you stop the fight if you know the scorecards…

DeMarco’s corner thinks Valero is tired.

More of the same. Was writing something else this round, but it looked very similar to round 5. Adamek is getting a bit more defensive now, but Estrada can’t land much.

59-55 Adamek

I am impressed with Valero and his resolve thus far…

Judges’ cards are 39-36 Valero twice and 40-35 Valero.

DeMarco really needs to step up his pace. Valero is running circles around him and throwing plenty. Not landing a ton, but throwing way more than is DeMarco. Big left by Valero, didn’t get his body into it and DeMarco takes it quite well.

Not really the fight I expected, to be honest.

Valero 10-9
Valero 49-45

Estrada comes in, launches a couple quick hooks to the body and clinches. Adamek not doing much offensively, but he’s moving very well, and little that Estrada is throwing is touching him, which is a bit surprising since Estrada had no problems hitting Povetkin. Adamek with a few more hooks to the body. Adamek moves in and out and throws a couple of combos. While he looks like a heavyweight, he’s still fighting like a light heavyweight.

Estrada lands one punch, and Adamek lands three right back. Adamek with a hard right that seems to stun Estrada a bit. The two trade like Mexican featherweights for the last 15 seconds of the round, and Adamek gets the best of the exchange.

69-64

I hate that there is a lull in the action when they are telling what the scorecards…

They aren’t going to stop the fight… even as bad as the cut is…

It’s just so bizarro to announce the scores WHILE boxers are fighting. There’s nothing like this in sports, nor should there be.

DeMarco lands a long left counter, but Valero doesn’t budge either. Valero throwing bombs, and that left got in clean. Valero swiping at him now. He lands TWO big lefts, but DeMarco, by God, takes them like nothing happened. Those heavy lefts are starting to land big on DeMarco, but DeMarco does land a big right hook. DeMarco seems confident he can take shots. Valero ties up DeMarco. Hmmm.

These two are starting to crank it up now. DeMarco got into this round, but it was Valero’s.

Adamek comes back in and lands a series of hooks to the body, and then a series of hooks to Estrada’s head. Seemingly everything Adamek is throwing now is landing, other than some jabs.

79-73 Adamek

Also, I want to KILL Gus Johnson, or should I say, OOOH,. GUUUSSS JOHNNNSON MUST DIIIIE! to put it in his tenor. He’s not even interested in talking until DeMarco lands right now, and when he lands, OOOOH, does he land. Put this man where he would be best: in the crowd, among the ticket-buyers.

DeMarco starting the round on the defensive, going backward, and now Valero has him on the ropes. Big right hook! DeMarco looking tentative. Now he gets off the ropes. Valero is REALLY pressuring him. Right hook by DeMarco, but then another clean left from Valero. Valero has him in the corner. Big left, big left, big left! Three of them land! Another one lands clean! The lefts are landing at will now. DeMarco isn’t buckling or even backing down much, but those shots are landing over and over. Valero is dominating now. DeMarco wasn’t even remotely in this round.

Valero 10-9
Valero 69-63

DeMarco just doesn’t know how to fight going backwards.

Adamek with some shots to the body. Chasing down Estrada. Estrada lands a few good shots, including a big right hand at the end of the round. Estrada closely won the round, but his corner is going nuts like that just won him the fight and as if Adamek is hurt. Estrada round, but mostly because Adamek took half the round off.

Estrada 10-9
Adamek 88-83

DeMarco has heart and a chin. I think it’s hard to appreciate what a beating he’s catching because he’s Valero throws so fast, the crowd is obviously with Tony, and because Tony doesn’t buckle. This might be headed for a 10th round TKO.

haven’t seen this much blood in Mexico since the Aztecs were ripping victims hearts out…

Big left from DeMarco. HUGE left by Valero! Now they’re throwing the bombs. DeMarco is a lot more aggressive in the eighth. Another vicious clean left hand. And another. And another. This is getting ugly. DeMarco comes back with a right hook, bless him. He needs something huge. He’s getting pounded on in there. Tough, tough kid.

Another combination from Valero. Right to the body by Valero. Valero peppering him with both hands. DeMarco is a brave son of a bitch. There’s a low blow from DeMarco. He’s gassing out pretty hard. DeMarco misses everything he throws near the bell, but he sure threw some bombs.

Valero 10-9
Valero 79-72

Estrada being much more aggressive this round, throwing lots of shots to the body. Adamek playing some keep away, throwing out the jab and an occasional combo. Adamek looks pretty gassed right now. Still, Estrada is far from dominating Adamek. He’s clearly winning the round, but mostly because Adamek is just backpedaling and throwing the occasional counterpunch.

Estrada 10-9
Adamek 97-93

DeMarco’s corner just asked him if he’s feeling sick.

I think he’s gonna quit.

Nope, he’ll go out for the ninth. But he’s on his last legs.

The corner doesn’t quite have the nerve to end this. They want to, but can’t on their own.

Valero is just hammering him. DeMarco is still trying his ass off, but he doesn’t have a lot left in him. Watching DeMarco this round I’m not even sure why he’s out there still. He’s got a lot of heart, but he’s being pummeled. He’s gassed and he’s finished as the bell rings.

Valero 10-9
Valero 89-81

DeMarco quits in the corner.

Edwin Valero RTD-9

Most impressive to me about this is Valero’s head movement. I hadn’t seen just how much he had improved until now.

Adamek looks like he has his wind back. He comes out firing some big shots to the body. Estrada tries to throw a few shots, but Adamek slips them mostly. Adamek fires back with hard shots of his own. The two are getting more active again and trying to hit each other with bad intentions. This fight has turned into a brawl, which favors Adamek as long as he doesn’t run out of juice again. Both guys landed a lot of big power shots, but I frankly think Adamek got the better of most of the exchanges.

Adamek 10-9
Adamek 107-102

how is Adamek doing?

Both guys trading out in the middle of the ring. Estrada doing the stalking, trying to focus on Adamek’s body. Adamek doing a lot of moving backwards, but when they get close, they’re both exchanging simultaneously. Estrada keeps coming forward, keeps throwing. Adamek with some big counters. Estrada with a dominant round 12, but Adamek survived to the end.

Estrada 10-9

ADAMEK UD ESTRADA

What a horrible translator…

Thanks, Brick……Adameks’ conditioning is an issue, isn’t it? Maybe he is feelling the xtra pounds.
