Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Samuel Vargas vs Manolis Plaitis: Live Streaming Video and Round-By-Round Coverage

Samuel Vargas and Brandon Cook are in action tonight in Ontario.

Live video is available via UStream and Boxing Channel.

I'm joining the card a hair late myself, but it's still very early in the show, and the main event and most of the card is still to come. Tonight in Mississauga, Ontario, there's some live boxing going down, and since Ortiz vs Berto was supposed to happen tonight, we've got the room to cover some of the more unsung fighters in the boxing world, so we will.

In the main event, Samuel Vargas (8-0-1, 2 KO) meets Manolis Plaitis (17-1-1, 8 KO) in a 10-round welterweight bout. Vargas, a Colombian-born fighter now based in Ontario, had a great fight last year with Ahmad Cheikho.

Won't lie and say it's the biggest show in the world, but you'll get a chance to see some fighters you otherwise wouldn't, and hey, it's boxing, you know what I mean? Let's watch some boxing. Let's talk about some boxing. Let's do this, you guys. It'll be fun. I promise.

Daley having no trouble other than the trouble that he’s not quite the stud he thinks he is.

Daley reminds me of Roy Jones, but the Jones who fought Omar Sheika. He’s definitely in control, just a raw prospect who is obsessed with flash.
