Mayweather vs Ortiz Undercard: Live Stream and Results of the Off-TV Bouts

PrintWe're going to get started this evening at 7 p.m. EDT with Yahoo! Sports' live stream of the off-television, pre-HBO pay-per-view undercard of Mayweather vs Ortiz from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
There will be five fights before the HBO PPV broadcast beings at 9 p.m. EDT, and we'll have coverage of each and every one of them. We will also have a thread later for the pay-per-view undercard (Canelo Alvarez vs Alfonso Gomez, Erik Morales vs Pablo Cesar Cano, and Jessie Vargas vs Josesito Lopez), and then a separate thread for the main event itself.
Here's what you'll see on this live stream, which has some interesting matchups:
Welterweights, 10 Rounds
Said Ouali (28-3, 20 KO) vs Carson Jones (31-8-2, 21 KO)
Ouali, 32, is a Moroccan-born fighter in the Mayweather Promotions camp who has been on Floyd's PPVs before, in a one-round brawl on the Mayweather vs Mosley card against Hector David Saldivia. Jones, 25, is a young veteran who has been around the block and was supposed to be Antonio Margarito's original pre-Pacquiao comeback opponent last year before that fell apart. He has recently worked with Canelo Alvarez during the young Mexican's camp. I like this fight a lot, and think it could be a really good one.
Super Middleweights, 8 Rounds
Marco Antonio Periban (14-0, 10 KO) vs Dhafir Smith (24-21-7, 4 KO)
A fight that could be low-risk or high-risk, depending on how you look at it. Periban, 26, is a power puncher, but struggled in his last fight, a UD-8 win over Alfredo Contreras. Smith, 28, has little power, but is generally durable and basically put the nail in Jeff Lacy's career coffin with a win over him last December.
Lightweights, 8 Rounds
Anthony Crolla (21-2, 9 KO) vs Juan Montiel (5-4-3, 2 KO)
Crolla, 24, is a Manchester fighter making his U.S. debut. He was Erik Morales' first of four scheduled opponents for this card, but then the WBC put up their vacant junior welterweight belt, and Crolla didn't fit the bill. He gets an easy consolation fight instead.
Super Middleweights, 6 Rounds
Adonis Stevenson (14-1, 11 KO) vs Dion Savage (11-1, 6 KO)
Savage, 24, is another Mayweather fighter. His loss came via KO-1 against Periban in February. Now he faces Stevenson, 33, a Haitian import to Quebec who has shown talent and his own shaky chin in the past.
Super Featherweights, 4 Rounds
Kyrone Butler vs Cassius Clay
Both are making their professional debuts.

Anyone catch the Fury fight?
I heard Firtha got hosed with an early stoppage.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
Yep.
Firtha really hurt him badly in the second but Fury was pretty dominant from then on. It was a bad stoppage but Fury was really on top after the second. Quite an entertaining fight, really.

Matt(Yorkshire) gave a thumbnail summary on the GBP welterweight tournament thread. OliGold just summarized the summary below.
I appreciate the summary.
College football is trumping boxing at my place (until the televised part of the Mayweather / Ortiz fight).
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
Lee Selby knocked Stephen Smith out pretty hard in the 8th round of their fight in a pretty big domestic shock.

Paul Smith really didn’t want to fight after that. Still, he won by KO1

He was very professional. All credit.

sounds like there will at least be a link to the off-tv stuff. I think Golden Boys website and probably ringtv.com are gonna have it too.

welcome to the good life, where we like the girls who ain’t on TV cause they got more @$$ than the models!
sorry, the phrase off-tv has got that stuck in my head now. WOOHOO big fight night! threads like this are why I love you all.
Crolla’s fighting Montiel right now on Primetime.

Ok Great

Why is this commentator calling Crolla something like Corola?
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
There are people actually shouting CROLLA from the crowd. It’s incredible.

‘Carolla’ has become ‘Carollo’ in the last round. Benny here could make it a long night for Primetime viewers!
Nobody will read this and care and why should they?

Not only do Primetime neglect to give us HD and charge us 15 quid for a fight Sky would have shown for free, they also force Benny Ricardo on us for a whole night. What a bummer.

Taking the promotion to this fight to new levels of incompetence.

Commentator had it for Corolo. I had it for Crolla but hey, Corolo's kind of similar.

Crolla gets a split decision

A SPLIT DECISION?!
"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
I missed the first round. Did Crolla get knocked down 4 times in the first? Two bits of gold from Primetime already:
1. Crolla was laboured because American ring canvases are heavier.
2. The commentator was some HBO stand in guy, not the amazing Benny Ricardo

I hate Primetime.

Well as a non-boxer myself, I really feel enlightened with that kind of expert analysis. I mean if Haye v Klitschko had taken place on a ‘heavy’ canvas, Haye’s toe could have been damaged beyond repair. It is bad when you miss Jim Watt. Still, at least no Larry Merchant!

Isnt Stevenson Jean Pascal's half brother
Or am I thinking of a different Adonis?

I didn’t see all of the first round, so I can’t score it. Say it was 10-10.
Last round was mostly Jones, but Ouali had a good flurry at the end. Still, 10-9, 20-19 Jones.
I’ll take Nick’s work for it and give Jones rd 1 as well. Round 3, on the other hand, was clearly Ouali’s. Had Jones hurt in the middle and the steam really came off his punches.
10-9 Ouali, 29-28 Jones
10-9 Jones — though Ouali clearly had the best moment of the round. Something that characterizes a bunch of the rounds, actually. I think Ouali has more pop, but Jones is more active and doing great body work. 49-45 Jones.
Also, you can hear Lampley doing promos in the background. I’ve always wondered if those were green-screened—apparently not.
huh
pretty damn good fight. Called it, Scott.
by Leon Cris Gamboa on Sep 17, 2011 8:05 PM EDT reply actions
10-9, 69-63 Jones. This bout is a textbook example of breaking an opponent down via sustained, unrelenting body attack. And reminds my Carson Jones is among my favorite obscure fighters who I hope gets a break.
