Bad Left Hook Live Results and Coverage: Jesse Brinkley v. Peter Quillin on Solo Boxeo Tecate

Holy shit – the end of Telefutura sports news has some clips from Manny in the studio doing that song. That’s some incredible digital fixing. Like I’ve never heard him just sing it.

Somewhat a sign of the times that the only TV outlet for two American guys in Nevada is a Spanish broadcast on Telefutura.

Yeah, Rodela-Smith is the co-feature.

So nice to see Izzy Vazquez.

Smith backs Rodela to the ropes, Just a six rounder so both could come hard. Smith definitely out to slug here. Catches Rodela with a right, and Rodela looks a bit bewildered in the earlygoing. Smith banging away. Uppercut slips between the gloves but doesn’t get all the way in. Rodela fighting off the ropes and digging with some left hooks. Good action already. Smith catching a lot of gloves overall but the far more aggressive and active fighter, and he’s just pushing Rodela to the ropes over and over. Smith picking off most of the shots Rodela does throw, then just overpowering him. Fun first round. Could turn into a hell of a six-rounder.

Smith 10-9

Smith still looking more aggressive, but he’s slowed down. Halfway into the round and it’s closer for sure, but then Rodela just gets sent to the ropes again. Rodela more active this round, though, making it closer. Rodela with some nice work with the uppercuts catching Smith inside. Rodela trying to time him coming him, but then Smith just screams and keeps coming anyway. Rodela starting to lure Smith a bit more this round and he’s doing the better work, I’d say. Good fight, evenly matched.

Rodela 10-9
19-19

“Pancakes?” Just for Men in SPANISH

Every time they say “Lonnie Smith” I hear “Lovie Smith.” Smith continues to try to impose himself physically. Rodela is almost wandering the ring aimlessly at times, including a moment there where he decided to look at Smith shake his head at a Rodela punch, then cahrge at him. I think having to move so much might be poking Rodela’s gas tank some. Smith probably landing only as much as Rodela, but the control of the pace was back to him this round. Rodela does land a nice left hook at the end of the round.

Smith 10-9
Smith 29-28

This really is a fun little fight. I like what Smith is doing, can’t quite wrap my head around what Rodela’s doing other than getting worn out physically but staying close enough with some good punches, and just like watching a couple of guys like this fight when they come to fight.

Smith 10-9
Smith 39-37

More of the same. I keep wondering if Rodela can land a good hook and sit Smith down, but it looks less likely every round. But Rodela is landing good shots this round. Really fun round. Both guys leaving it in there.

Rodela 10-9
Smith 48-47

Smith fighting for the knockout and rattles Rodela with a stiff left hook. Just stalking and stalking. Rodela has never been allowed to get into rhythm. Smith has kept pressure on the whole fight. A minute left and it looks like Lonnie Smith is going to take this fight, at least to my eyes. Smith with a grazing left hook but then a HARD RIGHT HAND! Smith closing this fight out in style! Rodela survives!

Good fight!

Lonnie Smith by unanimous decision

It’s Joe Cortez.

Quillin looks in really good shape. Brinkley looks like he’s 34. Quillin timing and ROCKS BRINKLEY! Brinkley staggers back to the ropes, and HERE COMES KID CHOCOLATE! Brinkley waiting on the ropes, Quillin looking for a big shot. Finally Brinkley seems to get himself straightened out, but he’s looking way too slow for Quillin.

Quillin 10-9

Brinkley opening up offensively, targets the body with a right hand. BIG right upstairs by Quillin catches Brinkley, though. He seems to have Brinkley’s number. Jesse will tough this out as long as he can but Quillin looks a class above him. I realize I shouldn’t say that in round two, but Brinkley looks his age physically — soft, kind of gangly in the midsection. And he doesn’t have the speed. But he’s going to fight, and he makes a little charge there. It seems like the best Brinkley can do is get into exchanges. Definitely a better round for Brinkley, but this is Quillin’s fight to lose.

Quillin 10-9
Quillin 20-18

About all Brinkley can do in this matchup is scrap. He looks out of sorts and just uncomfortable in there. He’s got NUTS AND GUTS!!!! so he’s going to OH SHIT HUGE RIGHT HAND BY QUILLIN, and then FUCKING JOE CORTEZ braeks up the action in the middle of a charge! Jesus Christ, he is the worst fucking referee. Quillin DEMOLISHING BRINKLEY and Cortez stops it.

Peter Quillin TKO-3

Oh, my.

seemed quick, but Brinkley isn’t complaining

I can see stopping it, but why did he leap in and protect Brinkley from Quillen just earlier in the round?
