Bad Left Hook Live Boxing Results and Commentary: Pavlik-Martinez Undercard

TopRank.com will be streaming four fights from the off-HBO undercard in Atlantic City, starting at 6:55pm EDT, and we'll be here to watch and discuss all the action, making for a full night of boxing here at Bad Left Hook.
This post will be for the off-HBO undercard only. After that, we'll move over to the main post for Pavlik-Martinez and Bute-Miranda, starting live on HBO at 10pm EDT.
Here's what we'll see on the Top Rank Livestream:
- Welterweights: Mike Jones (20-0, 16 KO) v. Hector Munoz (18-2-1, 11 KO). If Jones wins and doesn't get hurt or cut, he'll be in the co-feature fight on HBO on June 12, when Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto battle at Yankee Stadium.
- Middleweights: Ronald Hearns (24-1, 18 KO) v. Delray Raines (17-7-1, 12 KO). Hearns, 31, got into boxing really late in life, despite his father being Tommy Hearns. He's one of those guys who doesn't have "it," but unlike a lot of children of great boxers, he also works really hard and comes to fight. This could be a pretty exciting fight.
- Heavyweights: Dominick Guinn (32-6-1, 21 KO) v. Terrell Nelson (8-9, 5 KO). Pretty much a nothing fight for Guinn. I won't even call this a "stay busy fight." Guinn's last four fights have seen him get his career back on some sort of track, after his prospect bubble burst and it turned out he was not, in fact, the next big thing in American heavyweight boxing. There's still a chance Guinn could get a title shot, I suppose, but at 34 it's getting close to now or never.
- Middleweights: Matt Korobov (10-0, 8 KO) v. Joshua Snyder (8-4-1, 3 KO). I know he's only had ten pro fights, but Korobov is 27. It's time to at least fight a decent gatekeeper. He's too polished and too good for fights like this to teach him anything anymore.

they're prepping the cameras now
For what it’s worth, there’s three swing bouts on the schedule, so if these ones end early, you could get to see bonus. Guinn will be up first, according to the schedule out front.

So after the uppercut wobbled Nelson, it looked like the ref was stopping it, but then Guinn decked him with a big shot and the ref counted and now it … continues in the second round. Referees are weird.

What's a guy like Guinn
with over 30 wins doing fighting a dude that’s 8-9?
It’s a nothing fight. But Guinn’s little winning streak (four in a row) has other promoters less inclined to book him as a pure opponent, so he’s gotta fight someone. He’s stuck in no man’s land right now — maybe too dangerous for untested guys, but not credible enough for a major fight.

I can see that. It’s actually not as bad as it’s made out to be either, even by me. I mean, it’s really terrible, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not hard to get through once. The fact that it focuses on two very attractive women helps.

Nelson's tits bouncing around is kind of creepy
Guinn should be blasting this guy out. Instead he’s content to throw 20 punches a round. Nelson has no business winning any rounds from Guinn. I already gave him the second, and now there’s an argument that he won the 4th.

you can argue it
So far I’ve got 10-8 Guinn (from what I gathered, the first two minutes I missed were all Guinn), 10-9 Nelson, 10-9 Guinn, 10-9 Nelson.
So 38-37 for Guinn through four. Which is absurd.

Was Guinn like this before his first loss? His first loss was to a pre-shot Monte Barrett in 2004. He had beaten few solid guys, if no worldbeaters, before then. Did he just mentally collapse after his first loss, or what?
He started getting lazier and lazier, IMO, and then because of it more and more easily picked apart. I don’t think he dealt with losing well, and I don’t know that he dealt with expectations well to begin with. He’s not untalented. He’s just weird.

Now it's over
But nothing much different from what I previously noted. Korobov landed a few better shots, but didn’t follow up on them well, mostly would just push the other guy away after.
79-73
78-74
78-74
All for Matt Korobov. Crowd boos the decision.

uh
Some guy just walked in wearing a hannibal lecter mask.
Glen Tapia is his opponent.

This one's another good little brawl so far
Both guys are willing to exchange, which is nice.

Bute has to be one of the biggest stars in boxing
That’s quite a crowd and quite an entrance
Tapia with a nice knockdown in round 2
About a minute later, got Winchester caught on the ropes and went to town on him. Ref almst stopped it but didn"t. Then Winchester cracks Tapia with a shot that b uzzes him!
I have no idea if Tapia is going to actually be any good, but I love this kid and I can see him becoming an attraction. He reminds me of Gatti.

damn this is a war
This is the best fight of the card so far. At the end of the third, Tapia and Winchester got into a shoving match after the bell. No love lost between these two.
A lot of taunting, trading in close range, Winchester getting hurt but then firing right back. Every time it seems like Tapia has Winchester in trouble, Winchester fires back with a six or seven punch combo. Fun stuff.

Bute seems kinda tight
Like he’s a bit nervous.
First round Bute 10-9
All three cards 40-35 for Tapia

yes
Tapia clearly won all the rounds, but they were warring. It was sort of like a mini Escalante-Roman.
