Tonight's Friday Night Fights is live from the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, which has become a great new host to boxing this year, with a significant main event in the 140-pound division and a nice co-feature at light heavyweight in a make-or-break bout for both of the fighters.
The main event is an IBF eliminator between Lamont Peterson (28-1-1, 14 KO) and Victor Cayo (26-1, 18 KO). Peterson has been to the big dance before, losing to Timothy Bradley and battling Victor Ortiz to a draw in his two biggest fights. He's proven to be a competitive fighter on the big stage, but some of the business decisions made since the Ortiz fight in December have definitely been questionable. Peterson turned down $300,000 to fight Amir Khan (which lead to Khan vs McCloskey in April), and now finds himself fighting for low five figures on Friday Night Fights, hoping to get a shot at Khan, who picked up the IBF belt from Zab Judah last Saturday.
Cayo has been in one really big fight, taking on and losing to Marcos Maidana in March 2010. His best win came over Julio Diaz on Friday Night Fights in July 2009, and now he returns to the program to try to claim another career-best victory.
The co-feature pits Edison Miranda (34-5, 29 KO) and Cuban Yordanis Despaigne (8-1, 4 KO) in a fight that will eliminate one of them from any serious contention at light heavyweight. Miranda has moved up from middleweight and super middleweight in search of another major fight, while Despaigne is coming off of a loss to top prospect Ismayl Sillakh on FNF on March 4.
ESPN2 and ESPN3.com have the fights starting at 9 p.m. EDT tonight, and we'll be here with round-by-round coverage of both fights. Join us!

aww, this one's indoors
I loved the Molina vs Conyers fight outside here with the wind all over the place.

So Despaigne is out of Cuba...
Hotshot prospect? 2 ESPN fights in his fights 10 usually denotes some sort of amateur success, but I haven’t heard anything about this guy.
No, he’s not a hotshot prospect by any means. He’s an OK 30-year-old light heavyweight who doesn’t have much power.

Hey there BLHers. I’m betting on Despaigne this fight. Miranda’s been in too many wars.

Miranda vs Despaigne Round 1
Both jabbing to start, Despaigne landing a little crisper. Despaigne looking for power shots, Miranda avoids them, but then does get caught with a good right hand. Miranda looking for the long right, Despaigne avoids it easily. Double jab from Despaigne. Despaigne pot shots to end the round, and lands a BIG RIGHT THAT SHAKES MIRANDA, WHO IS SAVED BY THE BELL
Miranda does not look good out there.
Despaigne 10-9

Miranda vs Despaigne Round 2
Despaigne picking Miranda apart with a combo after Miranda whiffs on a slow, lunging lead left uppercut. Good body shot by Miranda, but Despaigne throws one right back. Right hand by Despaigne lands clean. Body work by Despaigne. Miranda looking desperate and he’s hurt again on a big right! Miranda looks done. Slow right uppercut by Miranda does get there in counter. Miranda trying to come back with the big bombs, and Despaigne backing down and trying to reset and find his openings again. Right hand Despaigne, and another one. Miranda is so slow to react defensively. No head movement. Lots of arm punches.
Despaigne 10-9

Miranda vs Despaigne Round 3
Miranda goes low again early in the round. Despaigne really raising hell about it. That was definitely low on the replay. Despaigne taking a moment. Another point taken.
Despaigne goes back to work. He’s just too quick and too clever. Miranda targeting the body, now throwing an uppercut. Right hand blocked. Miranda to his credit is swinging to win. Despaigne waits him out and fires back, and it looks like his shots are just having more impact.

Miranda vs Despaigne Round 4
Teddy scoring the first a 10-8 — I don’t agree with that. It wasn’t THAT dominant, and he wasn’t THAT hurt.
Despaigne moving more, throwing less. Miranda with a goody body shot, and he’s stalking well this round. Good jab by Despaigne snaps the head back, but Miranda keeps plugging away. And this is what I was talking about in the preview — fast start for Despaigne, now he needs to make a couple of adjustments. BIG RIGHT AND DESPAIGNE UNLOADS ON A DEFENSELESS (PURPOESLY) MIRANDA! Miranda just eats it and keeps going. he better hope that helps him. MIranda fires to end the round.

The ref's mistake wasn't in calling that one, which mandated a DQ
His mistake was in not issuing more warnings earlier.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
Agreed. He had to DQ it at that point, and honestly, it’s still Miranda’s dumb-ass fault, but…and now Tessitore is saying exactly what I would have. No place to go.
Yeah pretty much.

I really like both the guys in the main event
Don’t get me wrong, Khan will chew up either in a matter of a few rounds, but good guys none the less
I think Peterson is skilled enough to survive 12. He won’t win any rounds, but he’ll make it out.

I’m not sure about that. I think Ortiz would have had him out of there if he had his game face on that night.
I’m quicker to credit Peterson than wonder about Ortiz lacking game face is all. Peterson is good, he’s just not great. At anything.

Duan: I think Peterson’s a lot tougher than you give him credit for. He forced Bradley to switch things up and take the fight to the outside, and I think he deserves credit for what happened against Ortiz. I could see him forcing Khan backwards as well – and Amir is not nearly as good when he’s on the move as he is in the middle of the ring.
TheBoxingBulletin.com
Yeah, I do like Peterson. I just think Khan would tear him apart.
I have also always felt Amir would dominate Bradley.
I need an upset from Cayo in the next fight for my pick em score. Nailed a triple on that Despaigne pick.
But a lot of people picked Despaigne.

Peterson vs Cayo Round 1
Cayo is a goofy ass fighter. I mean that in a good way, I guess. Right hand lands behind the head and Cayo goes down, Kenny Bayless rules no knockdown. Cayo thought it was a knockdown, as Teddy says. Hard shot that landed clean. Round ends, I think Peterson did barely enough.

Cayo having a nice little round here. Peterson doing more, too. Fight starting to heat up. I like what Cayo does, or at least what he tries to do. He’s a brave fighter who thinks he’s about 60% faster than he actually is. Great body shot by Peterson, and then an uppercut. Fight could be picking up going forward.

Peterson just seems lik ehe’s having a bit of trouble reading Cayo right now, figuring out how to attack him. Body shot by Peterson, body shot by Cayo. Cayo staying busier and looks like the aggressor. could help him on the cards. Great uppercut by Cayo, Peterson walks through it. Kind of a video game uppercut. Kind of awesome. Peterson with some nice work on the ropes. Like the body work this round, but he’s not working his way in (Peterson). Long 1-2 from Lamont. Body shot, and another. Cayo fires back and lands a good shot. Brawl until the bell.

Cayo staying very active the first half of this round. I’m worried he might be wasting energy. BIG SHOT by Lamont Peterson! Cayo getting wide and his chin is just wide open, too. Cayo comes back, but he’s starting to breathe heavier. Peterson looks relaxed. Left hook to the body and a hard right from Peterson. Cayo throwing a lot, mots of it being blocked or missing. Peterson chopping away at him in close. Great body shots. Bayless warns him to keep them up. Cayo throws five punches, all blocked. Pretty good fight so far, and Peterson lands another good shot.

Peterson vs Cayo Round 5
Cayo throwing a lot less this round, and Peterson is letting the breather take hold. Why does Joe Tessitore keep saying “another network” or “a premium cable network” when he’s talking about HBO? Is this 1997 and he’s working for WCW and talking about the WWF? Peterson with a right hand near the end of the round, and I thought he mostly controlled this one/Cayo gave it away. I think that gas tank is getting checked. I’m just not taking to Cayo’s style or offense at all.
Peterson 10-9

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
That’d be nice. I never had associated Lamont Peterson with boxing ability. Straight ahead brawler, that was his game.
Peterson vs Cayo Round 6
Peterson is just landing the better shots here. The body work has been his best weapon, and he’s pretty well neutralized Cayo defensively, in my opinion. Cayo is slapping away, but there’s no mustard on his punches and they’re mostly getting blocked anyway.
Peterson 10-9

I have this split at half way.
It’s one of those situations where scorecard doesn’t tell the full story.
Peterson is definitely having the better of this overall, but in terms of rounds it’s 3 a piece
But he’s dictating the pace and clearly out working Peterson. Good fight. Gave that to Peterson

Peterson vs Cayo Round 7
Peterson whacking away inside. Cayo slapping away. Peterson does some nice stuff defensively, both with the guard high and with some distance between he and his opponent. Peterson totally bullying Cayo this round. Both throwing, landing about the same, but there’s a nice right hand counter when Cayo leaves himself wide open again. I think Atlas is dead on about Cayo, too.

Peterson vs Cayo Round 8
Chopping right from Cayo, but Peterson takes over again. This has been pretty much all his round. I just don’t seem to get into work for the sake of work anymore. At some point it has to make the other guy worse, or I don’t see it as particularly effective. It’s just workrate then, IMO. Peterson landing better shots still, but this was a sloppy round and I think both are tiring somewhat. I expected Cayo to start getting visibly exhausted around the 9th or 10th so we’ll see.

Peterson jabbing hard now. Cayo’s technical skills are the old hot mess and he’s just not fast or good enough to get away with it, plus he doesn’t have any zip on his fastball. Cayo ends the round nicely, but Peterson gets in a right hand late.

Peterson vs Cayo Round 10
Peterson coming out hard to start this round and landing good shots to the body and head. Cayo with one of his rushes. Peterson is basically walking through Cayo’s punches, and has all night. Peterson with more body work. Chopping right from Peterson. Cayo has made a fun fight of this, at least. Body shot again from Peterson. He’s got no worry about Cayo’s power and has his timing down, and has for rounds. Peterson to the body again, and now bullying and crowding Cayo again. Peterson warned for forearming Cayo. Body shots again from Peterson.
Peterson 10-9
Peterson 98-92

Peterson vs Cayo Round 11
Peterson basically cruising now. Cayo can’t find paydirt on much of anything. Jesus, how much does the Cosmopolitan pay ESPN to fellate them? Peterson digging to the body again. Peterson is just physically stronger and it has been the biggest difference in the fight.
Peterson 10-9
Peterson 108-101

Jury’s still out to me. Lamont and Anthony are very different.

Yeah, that was weird. He was doing the tap to the head thing like “that’s behind the head” — except he was doing it to his forehead.
guess he had no idea what was going on

Peterson vs Cayo Round 12
Peterson wants the KO, and he’s pressing big. Lamont pouring it on! Cayo ties up. Cayo there to meet him. Hats off to Cayo’s ballsiness. I don’t think he’s close on the score, but he’s been here to fight. Nice left hook by Cayo, good counter. Left hook by Peterson stings cayo. Peterson locks in again. Big right by Peterson! Cayo complains that it was to the top of the head, but he’s hurt. Peterson with a big body shot! And another! Cayo takes a knee and he’s still complaining.
He just stays down.

Probably a smart move for Cayo to stay down.

I wouldn’t hate a Peterson-Khan fight, Khan would win, and I wouldn’t pay for it, but it beats the crap out of a lot of other fights that get made.
I’d rather see that fight than any fight against any European champion they could dredge up.

I don’t think we’re going to see too many more of those with the UK PPV mess he’s in, Khan likes making dollars.
I’ll gladly watch Peterson-Khan. Not PPV, but HBO with a good undercard, sure.

It would be on HBO but you can probably crop out “good undercard.” There’s no way they’d try to sell Khan vs Peterson on an HBO PPV. HBO has already been behind a Khan vs Peterson fight, too, so I see no issue there.

Well no, I’m not expecting a Tyson-Holyfield undercard, but a good semi-main as protection in case Khan blows him out or Peterson doesn’t catch much interest wouldn’t hurt.
