Bad Left Hook Live Results and Coverage: Fernando Guerrero vs Grady Brewer on Friday Night Fights

Tonight's edition of ESPN Friday Night Fights is live on ESPN2 and ESPN3.com at 9pm EDT from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Tex., headlined by a Bad Left Hook favorite taking on a tricky veteran in a fight that amounts to risky career move as much as anything.

Fernando Guerrero (21-0, 16 KO) is moving down from 160 to 154 pounds for tonight's main event, as the Maryland-based, Dominican-born prospect takes on Oklahoma veteran and former "Contender" winner Grady Brewer (27-12, 15 KO). Brewer, now 40, has not won a significant fight since 2008, when he squeaked past Cornelius "K9" Bundrage in a terrible TV stinker. In January 2010, he was used as a stepping stone for Erislandy Lara, who stopped him in the 10th round.

Guerrero, 24, is still young, but at 5'9" his height and lack of big power seemed to limit his opportunities to rise to the top of the class as a middleweight. If he's able to make 154 comfortably, I think his athleticism serves him better there. He's already become a hometown attraction in Salisbury, and is close to taking those next steps from Friday Night Fights and ShoBox appearances into a potential bigger fight. A good, decisive win over Brewer could inspire he and his team to take a big leap next, if a fight makes sense.

In the co-feature, Karim Mayfield (13-0-1, 8 KO) takes on Steve "2 Pound" Forbes (35-9, 11 KO) in welterweight action. Despite the record, Mayfield isn't particularly young at 30, and he also hasn't fought in a year. The 34-year-old Forbes is a fan favorite because of his willingness to take tough fights, and he parlayed his "Contender" final loss to Brewer in 2006 into an eventual money tune-up date with Oscar de la Hoya in 2008. Overall, he's just 3-6 in his last nine, and I have to guess the hope here is for Mayfield to get on the map by getting whatever rub Forbes has left to give.

It’s up to Grady to upset the standard narrative tonight. I for one am pulling for him, but I think he is going to get stopped and after that I hope he thinks about maybe calling off his career and moving on to life’s next challenge.

Mayfield-Forbes R1

Mayfield makes the first charge of the fight by just unleashing a half ton of right hands that don’t really land, but keep Forbes covered up and moving backwards. Mayfield landing to the back of the head. I’m already not into this fight. Sloppy and neither guy looks comfortable in the first round. Mayfield is all kinds of technically rotten. Maybe it’s rust?

This is a hellish fight to try and describe. Forbes is old and slow and doesn’t fight like himself anymore, so he doesn’t fight even as well as he could being 34 and fighting way heavy, but Mayfield is just not … good. Not so far. I guess he’s still landing the handful of better punches.

Well I can see why Mayfield was a well regarded sparring partner. I cannot, however, figure why I should be watching him on TV. All honesty, what is the upside of a 30-year-old guy who fights like this? This isn’t attractive. Forbes nailed with a big shot near the end of the round but he survives.

Guerrero-Brewer R1

well the first two minutes are thrilling in this one, too. Guerrero trying to land from range, but Grady just pulls away. Boo birds come out with about 40 seconds left in the round. Guerrero has gotten a couple jabs in this round but nothing behind them has landed. Right hand by Brewer is just off, came in a bit too deep. Tentative round.

Guerrero 10-9

Guerrero-Brewer R2

Both fighting more, now Guerrero backed to the ropes and Brewer keeps trying to work inside. Guerrero looking for the straight left after Brewer targets the body just a bit. Brewer wants the uppercut. Guerrero staggers just a little tiny bit when Brewer lands a right around the guard, and Brewer ends the round fighting.

Brewer 10-9
19-19

OK, I don't know jack shit about boxing....

but the last 90 seconds of that round (with the possible exception of the last 10) looked a hell of a lot better for Fernando.

Guerrero-Brewer R3

Brewer is looking sharp (for Brewer). Brewer putting it on Guerrero and dictating the action. Guerrero with a right hook to the body, then a right upstairs, and NICE LEFT from range by Guerrero. Winnable round with 50 seconds left. Guerrero picking up the pace now, and starting to land very well both upstairs and downstairs. Brewer suddenly starting to look a little tired, and is caught with another straight left. Good round.

Guerrero 10-9
Guerrero 29-28

Guerrero-Brewer R4

Guerrero caught coming in with a little left from Brewer. This is a bit of a sloppy fight, too, but enjoyable sloppy with punching instead of the mess Mayfield and Forbes made in the first fight. Thudding right from Grady, and then he starts SWIPING with big shot. GUERRERO HURT, DOWN, AND OUT OF THE RING!!!!

HE WILL MAKE IT UP, BUT THERE’S 1:20 LEFT AND HE’S HURT!

Grady BOMBING with right hands! Just BOMBING! Brewer slips!!!! But he’ll come back. A minute left. GUERRERO FALLS AND THE FIGHT IS OVER!!!

I’ve never been impressed with Guerrero, and I didn’t think he deserved the win over Ishe Smith. God, I could not be happier right now.

Totally acceptable stoppage. I’m certain things would have come to a bad Guerrero end within that round or the next. Kid had no balance left.

I'm as big a Fernando fan as there is on this site

Honestly I’d heard as much criticism of his upside as anyone thinking he was great. Even I thought he had limited upside and I was as high on Fernando as almost anybody. But he just took a real hit. Tessitore’s “blue chip prospect” stuff is…overstated.

I like the “defeated 4 undefeated prospects” stat on Grady Brewer’s line there. Not even sure how prospect is defined, but the idea of him as a career killer, or brander, anyway, is cool.
