Bad Left Hook Live Boxing Results: Miguel Cotto v. Ricardo Mayorga and Sergio Martinez v. Sergiy Dzinziruk

There's double action tonight on American TV, and Bad Left Hook is the boxing fan's destination for interactive coverage. I'll be out celebrating my birthday, though I plan to DVR the HBO card and probably sneak back to the office at some point and catch the main event of the Showtime PPV, so I'll have my thoughts on the fights sometime on Sunday, hopefully. Or I won't because I'll be too hopped up on the sweet Kentucky bourbon tonight. We'll see. Play it by ear, as they say.
Showtime pay-per-view goes live at 9pm with a Top Rank card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, headlined by a 12-round junior middleweight clash between Miguel Cotto and Ricardo Mayorga. On the undercard, Yuri Foreman faces Pawel Wolak (10 rounds, 154), Miguel Vazquez faces Aussie brawler Leonardo Zappavigna (12 rounds, 135) and Baltimore Ravens safety Tom Zbikowski gets a glamour shot in a four-round heavyweight bout against some guy from Kentucky. (Sorry, Richard Bryant.)
HBO goes live at 10:30 from Foxwoods in Connecticut. In the main event, Sergio Martinez defends the world middleweight championship against Sergiy Dzinziruk. The co-feature is also a middleweight clash, as Ireland's Andy Lee takes on Scotland's Craig McEwan. Lee will be without trainer Emanuel Steward for this one, as Steward will be in Vegas handling Cotto, and Martinez will also be without his normal lead trainer, Gabriel Sarmiento. Gabriel's brother Pablo will take over for the evening.

Scott, we need to talk
The past 2.5 years have been great. We’ve had some really (sob) beautiful moments and you’re one of the most important people in my life. But Scott, lately something hasn’t felt right. It’s like your here but your not really “here”, you know what I mean? I’ve always trusted you Scott, but I just want to ask you one question and please Scott, please be honest with me: Scott, are you cheating on me?

But I’ll try to be there for the Martinez main event, and if I’m there, I can RBR. Last one I did was probably Huck-Lebedev at this point.

Who is crazier, Sheen or Mayorga?
I think The Marlboro Man Mayorga is going to get spanked tonight. Then he can move in with Charlie Sheen and they both can go out on their respective shields. I’d give them a month or two.

I’ll be watching Martinez. I’m curious to see the Ukrainian; might be a boring fight as they are mirror images of each other. But he needs to get rid of that stupid Burger King Crown. Hard to take anyone serious who is wearing a $29.99 Halloween crown.

Fortuna- Wilson result
In the un-televised portion of the Martrinez-Dzinziruk undercard, Javier "El Abejon" Fortuna (14-0-0-1NC, 11 KOs) knocked out “Dangerous” Derrick Wilson (8-1-3, 2 KOs) in the 8th round of their scheduled 8th rounder to win something called the WBC Youth featherweight title.

But I saw him ref Rigondeaux-Addy live about 15 feet away from the ring, and he was still a good 4 inches taller than then. Lee is a tall middleweight – probably 6’2" or so.

Sergio has great killer instinct. Nobody had to tell him nothing. He went after Zinny like a bat out of hell.

It’s great to have a middleweight champ like this. He has the full biz.

I love it when guys like Sergio pounce on wounded prey. Those last thirty seconds were like a fucking National Geographic special.

All of a sudden they are talking about the "new prime." Age 35-36. I love it
when Lampley comes up with this madness without even factoring in the number of fights, ring wars, oppositions, etc. Ugh.
I think Dmitriy Pirog gives him a run for his money. Pirog is all pressure, a la Paul Williams I, but combines with excellent upper body movement and good defense. THAT is the fight Martinez needs to prove his ultimate skill.
he doesn’t need any fight to prove his skill. He’s done it more than a few fights in a row. Not to knock your suggestion. Thats a highly plausible fight in the not too distant future.
anything that sergio needed to prove.. he proved already

Wolak-Foreman
Everyone had their sights set on Cotto-Mayorga, and was therefore overlooking the other thrilling match-up between Paweł "Raging Bull" Wolak and Yuri Foreman. Wolak is of Dębica, Poland, while Foreman is Jewish. Coming into this fight, Wolak had only lost once—against Ishe Smith in 2008—a fight that he may have taken prematurely. Wolak seized control and triumphed via a 6th round RTD. Now the "Raging Bull" may face Miguel Cotto, although I still think it is too early for the Pole to face the Puerto Rican sensation. Nonetheless, Polish fight fans had much to be cheerful about after Wolak’s victory. Paweł Wolak is the biggest Polish fighter to hit the scene since Tomasz Adamek, and the two are now the biggest Polish names in boxing today.
Did You Know? Beforehand, and as recently as last year, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was slated to fight Wolak, but pulled out. The Pole later called Chavez Jr. a sissy, saying that the son of the famous Mexcian legend is simply ducking him. However, after Wolak’s impressive victory this past Saturday, the whole Chavez Jr. saga can be buried, because Paweł earned himself a spot up in the rankings, and is closer than Chavez to a big bout with Miguel Cotto.
