Really pumped for this fight. It’ll be an interesting matchup, because Adamek will try to outbox Cris, but Cris can end it at anytime with one shot. I’ll take Cris by KO-10.

I'm barely interested in this at all
HW is such a bore that I just can’t get interested…whoever wins is not a really a HW contender anyway.
-Brian
The winner is definitely a contender
Just unlikely to actually beat a Klitschko.
If Adamek wins this, he’s arguably a top 10 pound for pound fighter.

Somewhat OT
But my girlfriend has been watching fights with me for about 5 or 6 years now and has somewhat gotten into the sport. Anyway, we were talking a little boxing yesterday, and her favorite fight that she’s seen? Adamek-Briggs II. Found that one interesting. It was a really good fight, underrated, just surprised she thought that was better than the Vazquez-Marquez fights or JMM-Diaz or whatever.

i FINALLY started watching The Wire a few days ago. i’m only on ep 3, but this show has already destroyed any concept i had of what a “great show” is. there’s like 20 characters, and not one of them suck. just amazing

It's a great show
Just tough to watch. I followed the first couple seasons, but then when I tried to pick it back up a few seasons later, I found myself lost just because it had changed so much.
Also falling into that category of ‘great show but tough to watch and you need to see every episode for it to work’ is Breaking Bad.

great point. i kinda feel shitty for watching it because i’m a bit of a tellyphile, and watch so many different shows. its gonna be hard trying to keep up with this shit consistently, so i don’t forget anything while i got other current shows going on. i still havent’ seen the past two episodes of breaking bad, and there’s gonna be a new ep tomorrow night :\

You know what my favorite thing about the Angulo/Shaw whining this week is? “Oh he gave up his OWN Boxing After Dark to be on this one. :(”
I will guarantee more people watch this than would have watched an Angulo-headlined BAD. He’s still going to be seen by more eyes. Are these people really so fragile that they think headlining a show nobody really watches is more important than being the co-feature on one people WILL watch?

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Angulo-Julio R1
Julio seems…spritely before the bell. They’re both snapping jabs to start. Angulo going to the body and the head. Nice jab by Julio. Body jab by Angulo. Right upstairs by Angulo lands. Left hook from Julio sneaks in. They’re both throwing with intent early.
Big right by Julio. Right by Angulo is blocked. Angulo pressing like he always does. Left hook by Angulo inside. Left hook Julio as they mix inside again. These guys are here to fight. Julio’s moving around the ring plenty, but both want to hurt their opponent. I don’t think anyone’s looking for a decision in this one.
Julio is doing a good job not getting trapped, but he’s being stalked very effectively.
Angulo 10-9

well shit lennox read my mind, the thing i got the most out of round 1 was that angulo was cutting off the ring pretty decently. julio was moving constantly, but angulo was always up in his face. maybe julio isn’t as good a boxer as kermit (lol), but angulo did a lot better in dealing with movement

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Angulo-Julio R2
There’s not much about this that I didn’t see coming. Julio looks spirited early, not winning the fight but trying to stand his ground, but it’s Angulo whose pressure looks like it’s taking over. It feels like a waiting game for Angulo to start busting him up when eventually Julio DOES get trapped in the corner. Right from Angulo lands. Julio throws, comes up short down the pipe and is blocked wide. Julio’s movement is sort of effective, and he’s landing some shots, but the best punches are Angulo’s, and the pace being pressed is Angulo’s.
Angulo 10-9

But he has no idea how to clinch

To be Teddy Atlas for a second
Angulo also isn’t “agreeing to” the clinch, which matters.
29-28 Julio

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Angulo-Julio R3
Stiff left hook by Julio, as he looks to build on what he did well last round, which everyone but me scored for Julio. I thought it was close, but I like Angulo’s effective pressure. Julio is looking to crack him this round for sure. Hook to the body by Angulo, then he clips him on the chin after another body shot. They’re firing heavy shots back and forth. This is a good fight already.
Hard left hook by Julio, and then he does some more work. Angulo using the body and the head to attack. Julio might actually be building some momentum for serious, and I’ll cautiously agree this is the best Joel has looked in years. I’m worried the movement will wear him out and leave him vulnerable to Angulo’s attacks, but this was a good round for Julio again.

Angulo-Julio R4
Julio starting to stick and move. This really is looking more like the Cintron fight by the round. He’s boxing more and not giving Angulo much to work with in this round, though Angulo as always is pressing. Julio takes a hard left. There’s a right from Angulo. Angulo finds a brief rhythm, but Julio starts moving again.
Nice combination punching by Joel Julio as this round gets near its end. Tighter round than the third, but I favor Joel slightly.

It seems like Angulo's punches are harder
I guess it’s just the way he throws. Julio’s have pop, but Angulo’s seem to make a different sound. It looks like Angulo got tired after chasing him around the ring the first round and a half.
10-9 Angulo
48-47 Julio. Angulo won most of the round, though Julio made it close by landing the few best punches in the middle of the round and with some nice defensive work.

Angulo-Julio R5
Holy shit, Angulo has the “R” from a Corona sign on the turnbuckle stuck to his back. Classic.
Angulo is really having trouble getting going. He’s landing hard now and again, but Julio has just taken this fight by the horns overall. He’s shown an ability to take Angulo’s shots too. And there they trade, and they both show their chins for the masses. Angulo is REALLY pressing now. He’s been in this spot before — he has to get this fight turned around or if Julio is physically prepared to do this for 12 rounds, he cannot beat Joel Julio at this game any more than he could beat Cintron. Angulo throwing HARD shots.
Angulo 10-9, thought he got this one close

Angulo-Julio R6
Now the “O” is on Angulo’s back. Part of the C is missing too. This is great stuff.
Someone just got thrown out of the arena.
Anyway, the fight. Angulo targeting the body, trying to take Julio’s legs from him. I think he’s showing more ring smarts than he had before he lost to Cintron — that’s a good thing to see. He’s never going to be fast, but he can get smarter, and I think he has. Julio with a nice left hook that snaps Angulo’s jaw around.
Another tight round with a minute left. Right by Angulo, Julio fires back. Combination Julio, mostly blocked, but Angulo lands a shot in return. STIFF right by Angulo. Jesus, these guys are getting good shots in, and Angulo’s heavy bombs are starting to land a lot more. Good round for Angulo, I think, and he finishes it well.

Angulo-Julio R7
You know what? I’m changing my second round score. I didn’t like it right after I hit enter and I think it’s pretty obvious I was just wrong. I’m not a sanctioned official. I’m on a blog. Who cares? So 57-57.
Angulo goes low on a left, but Julio doesn’t make a stink and the action carries on. Angulo really giving chase now, and Julio really starting to run more than fight. Body shot by Julio lands. Julio really doesn’t seem to want anything to do with mixing it up this round. He’s looking to land some counters if he can, but he’s not wild about Angulo throwing punches. Julio lands some shots though. This is the toughest round of the fight to score with 45 seconds left. Julio has landed some good shots, but he’s really trying to stay away from Angulo more than ever this round.
I gotta score it for Julio. I don’t love how he fought that round, but it was smart and effective, at least for now. That much movement might have not been good for the rest of the fight.

Angulo-Julio R8
Hurrld went with Angulo. We seem split on it here. Toughest round of the fight to score, IMO.
Julio lets a ton of shots go, Angulo covers up, eats it, and then smiles and waves him in for more. Angulo slips southpaw here and there, and seems to do OK from that stance. Angulo seems willing to eat shots this round for some reason. Now with half the round left, he’s starting to throw while he stalks.
Right hand Angulo lands, and then another, and Julio seemed a bit surprised that he was caught a few times. Julio tries to get out of there. Wicked combination from Angulo, but doesn’t land flush on any of it. It looked nasty, though, and that is sometimes what matters.
The last two rounds Julio just has not done much offensively. He’s throwing enough so that he doesn’t appear to be a “runner,” but I like Angulo in this one.

Looks like blood around the right eye of Julio.
It’s starting to bother him. Angulo kinda looks tired, but maybe he’s just winging shots
Angulo-Julio R9
Now he’s got the other “O.”
Angulo starting to do some good work to the body, but there he’s whacked with a wide left hook. Angulo is dictating pace more and more. Julio is cut and the blood is bothering him a bit. But Julio is still fighting, too. Angulo really pressing as he seems to notice that cut and how much it’s bugging Julio. Julio finally shoots that right uppercut his corner’s been asking for. Angulo with a right. Julio chops him with one moments later.

Julio’s corner patched him up a bit, then left a towel on his head. We’ll see if their cut work will hold. Nice left by Julio comes up from under and stings Angulo. Julio using his jab a little. Right hand by Angulo really nails Julio, but he again shows his beard. Angulo hit with a nice counter shot. Julio’s movement is getting a little slower and a little less fluid.
Another round for Alfredo Angulo, and he ends it nicely again. He’s punctuating rounds.

Speaking of Mayweather-Mosley
Are you guys expecting record comments? Or are you going to break up the comments undercard and main event SC and Brick?
It’ll be split between undercard and main but that’s because of the lag that happens around 700 or so for some people. We count it all as one though. And I dunno — the last Mayweather fight did less than 600 comments. Possibly a lot of people went out somewhere to watch it.

Arreola’s jiggly. It’s a “good” jiggly allegedly. First minute is a feeling out process. Adamek with a right to the body. Arreola is shaking all over the fuckin’ place. I mean I’m not “hating,” it’s right there. He’s hanging over his trunks and his pecs are bobbling around like Jell-o.
Arreola can’t land on Adamek early, and seems a little frustrated. Adamek with a combo, Arreola digs to the body. Adamek with a left hook, then back out. Adamek with a hard left hook in there, but he’s being affected by the shots Arreola is landing for sure.
Adamek with a combination, then Arreola misses badly on a wild right hand, gets hit just after the bell, and gives a staredown. Adamek apologizes.

Adamek is really controlling this fight with lefts and rights, and the crowd gets crazy every time someone lands. Adamek’s fans are loud, Arreola’s fans are loud. 5,000 fans and they’re here to watch a fight. At least there’s that.
Arreola is having a tough time landing big and clean shots. He seems like he wants to load up a lot, like he’s too anxious to get a knockout. He throws a nice 1-2 there and it works for him. Now he’s starting to push Adamek around with his size. Arreola now willing to get hit to land, which is the best option he has it would appear.
Adamek is very weary of Arreola’s power. He’s no fool. He’s fighting bravely and smart at the same time. I think he takes this round, too, but this is no clinic or anything. It’s a time bomb fight.

Arreola’s facial expressions are … odd. I don’t know what it is. He looks sad almost.

He’s definitely got the power to turn this fight on a dime, but Adamek is tearing into him, moving effectively, and neutralizing what Arreola does. He’s getting cut up by Adamek, too. CompuBox has Arreola landing 0 power punches, then there’s a couple. (This round I mean.)
Arreola digging to the body, and Adamek felt that left hook. Arreola finished the round with some real spirit, but it’s Adamek’s again.

Arreola-Adamek R4
Adamek is landing 52% of his power punches. I’m tempted to bring up the +/- argument that jrok and I had, but I won’t. Oh I did I suppose. This tells me again that when Arreola fights guys who aren’t bums or walking shells of their former selves, he’s going to get smacked around hard. He might win this at any time, but he’s getting hammered overall.
Speaking of which, Arreola’s big shots are now getting there, and Adamek is without a doubt feeling the power. There’s a right by Adamek. I don’t know that Adamek can really hurt Arreola. I mean, I’m sure he CAN, but I don’t know if the way he’s fighting will enable him to do so.
Big right by Adamek, and another. Arreola looks anxious to fight like that, but Adamek is largely doing a good job hitting and getting out. This has been the tightest round of the fight, IMO, but still going Adamek’s way with 20 seconds left.
Adamek again landing and moving, making Arreola miss. Body shot by Arreola. Adamek’s legs, as Lennox says, are “all over the place.” He ain’t lyin’.

That was an Arreola round.
But I’m really impressed by how Adamek fought the last two minutes of the round. He’s a strategically different fighter at heavyweight, now that his cruiserweight/light heavyweight talents don’t translate the same way. More combos than ever.
He took some good shots but is still on his feet… I am impressed… but I don’t see him lasting the 12 round unless Arreola just falls flat because he is such a fatty…

Left hook and a right hand by Adamek. Adamek is slowing down his movement because Arreola is just standing there. Adamek with more good shots. Arreola is having a horrible time. Adamek staggered on a STIFF left. Adamek is hurt and clinching. Arreola putting the pressure on!
Adamek hurt again! He’s barely hanging on in there. It’s not just footwork. Arreola’s power is starting to weigh on him. Weigh a good 250.
Right hand Arreola! Barely landed. Adamek with a left uppercut moments later. He hangs on to end the round.

Adamek landing some, Arreola landing some, and now Adamek warned a second time for a low blow. Arreola blinking hard, and referee Jack Reiss calls a headbutt on the resulting blood near Arreola’s left eye.
Arreola chasing and pushing the pressure again, but not getting much landed. This is very entertaining, I think. Right about as good as Haye-Ruiz, which I thought was a pretty damn good fight.

This, like the first fight, is about exactly what I expected. I’m thinking Adamek is just too big and he’s going to lay Adamek out at some point soon.
Wicked left hook by Adamek, but he cannot budge Arreola. He just can’t move him back, and Arreola accepts that now. He’s sure Adamek isn’t going to knock him out. Adamek with a left, but Arreola just walks through it and lands one of his own. There have been some fouls, all by Adamek it seems, and they’ve kept it pretty gentlemanly.
Adamek is boxing much smarter this round. I also think he’s getting a little tired. That’s an Adamek round, and I still think he’s winning this fight on the cards.

Adamek continues to box well. This has been a very visibly interesting fight. It doesn’t move at a pace where you can’t appreciate every shift in the tide. Adamek is digging into the reserves to finish this fight, it seems. Adamek goes low again, last warning. Didn’t look low to me.
This has been a clear Adamek round with 30 seconds to go. He’s just completely outworking Arreola, whose good 250 looks like it’s starting to become a factor. When a guy averages 3.3 rounds per fight, this is going to happen, especially when he’s as indifferent to conditioning.

Good right hand by Arreola! Adamek getting hurt, and maybe getting hurt! Adamek firing back! Arreola is reckless as hell now. He might think he needs to be. He might be right.
Adamek hanging on. 1:45 left in the round, so plenty of time to work. He’s still got snap on his jab. Arreola clubs him with another right, Adamek clinches again. Arreola holds his gut and cries out in pain. I’ve got no clue what that was. Probably his hand.
Adamek and Arreola both throwing hard shots. Arreola’s right fist doesn’t look closed. I think he hurt that. He’s not throwing that right hand at all. It’s hurt.
Arreola winging with whatever he’s got left, and the bell sounds as Cristobal gives chase. Very fun round, and hard to score. I favor Cris slightly.

Arreola firing and Adamek is hurt! The right hand is either better or he’s just gutting through. Arreola is WINGING his shots now. This is extremely reckless. He’s going for broke. Arreola spits blood. Hopefully someone got a still of that. That was BOXING.
Arreola is in pain and just doing everything he can. BIG left hook by Arreola, now he’s hurting again. Reiss almost jumps in, Arreola says no, and Arreola just keeps going. Wow. This is dramatic. This is Hollywood.
Arreola bringing the action! Fuck it, I don’t care if he’s fat right now. He’s busting his ass out there. He’s very much in pain, bleeding all over, and throwing everything he’s got against a very good opponent.
Arreola not throwing much anymore, and Adamek is landing. Here comes Arreola again! Nothing much lands. What a round that was.

Arreola-Adamek R12
Adamek trying to chip away at Arreola to keep him from throwing. He knows Arreola can’t use his hands much at this point. i don’t know if he hasn’t hurt both hands. Crowd is booing like Adamek should stand still and let Arreola hit him. Adamek is potshotting him to death here in the 12th round. That’s good boxing. Not exciting, but good boxing.
Adamek throwing and landing. Arreola just can’t find him. He’s trying his best, but he’s grimacing in pain, bleeding, he’s busted up, and he’s in there with a disciplined, smart fighter who isn’t going to give him an in. 15 seconds left.
They clinch until 10.
Arreola waves Adamek in, and Adamek does not oblige.
Adamek 10-9

10-9 Adamek. 116-112 Adamek. Credit to Arreola for going for the win, but Adamek was too fast and too skilled.

117-111 Adamek for me as well

Adamek did it. I don’t know in the long run what it means, but I didn’t think he could, and boy, did he run rings around him. Chris was left with nothing he could do but yell at his opponent in the 12th round of a fight he was losing, to please, please, stand still. That’s a different kind of ownage.
maybe i like arreola too much (despite the fatassness), but i can’t help but to feel so disappointed right now.

This fight was weird from the get go, in the sense that although it was two world class fighters in the ring, the result wasn’t going to have a huge impact on the division. Ademek impressed me though, tough as hell and skilled boxer to boot.
Chris Arreola is not remotely world class.

Doesn't say much. He's top 10 by default because the pool is thin.

He comes up with a quote like this. Prolly why I scored it 114-114 (awful job by me)

Arreola
This is why Arreola will stick around and keep getting decent fights and money. He’s entertaining as hell.
Nice draft by the Niners. Pissed you signed Blount. I predict a top 5 rushing attack.
My Seahawks did well too….but the Niners look way more talented.

You guys had a great three days. Not sure how White and Washington will pan out, but I think they were solid trades.

Julius Jones is definitely cut, but Forsett/Washington/White = Win.

Arreola looks like DeNiro as the late LaMotta in Raging Bull
Better on stage than in the ring
“late”? bronx bull died?

oh alright, got a bit worried there. and if you wanna be a picky asshole you could technically say that that version of LaMotta was in the beginning of the film

Cristobal should follow Scorcese's script and DeNiro's training regime
Put the weight on at the beginning …..and then work it off as the story progresses. It’s time for CA to decide if he wants to be a potential Champion …or a name to be added to the list of victories by those that do. Me thinks he’s heading toward the latter…if he’s not already there.
Adamek fought a brilliant tactical fight. Came in with a plan against a much bigger guy, and stuck to the plan even after sustaining big punches. Has to be considered a top 10 Pound for pounder.
He also has the best chin in boxing…
"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."
I beg to differ. Librado Andrade's chin is up there too.

Yeah… but he has only been dropped once and that was um… over 40 lbs ago…

And on a body shot

Everyday Dawson must look at his W vs Adamek and say… thank god I didn’t get a rematch vs him.
He could have very well lost that fight by KO.
