That's the risk with older fighters. When their lungs are burning and they are in pain they may just ask themselves "What am I doing here?"and call it a day. Skelton seems like the type of guy that would die in the ring before he quit. But Vidoz's mindset has never been like that and his surrender will probably be symbolic for his career at this point.

What was weird is he seem to be taking control of the fight the round before
something must have happened...a body shot or something I didn't see
it didn't make any sense...halfway through the 9th he stopped fighting...and then in the corner he pulled the NO MAS
this was like the Holt-D-Hop fight
shitty ass fight, one guy just wanted to win more than the other guy
Congrats Skelton backers (if there were any)

Very well put. This fight CLEARLY meant more to Matt Skelton. All you had to see was the elation on his face after the fight. Kudos to him.

Hopefully Alvarado under redeems me. I was thinking to take the scalp, but nah.
I took some Soto under -210, I can't imagine it going 6 full rounds. The crowd will be bloodthirsty, and you know the ref will let Soto smash him to bits. I can see a quick stoppage by the ref, no chance for shenanigans.
Aren't Mexican rings typically smaller? I might make myself sound stupid here, and I have no evidence to back this up, but just off the top of my head, it seems like Mexican rings in Mexico are generally smaller in size, which is better for the brawler.

Emanuela Pantani wins a 10 round UD in Italy
DAMN I knew it....should have gone with my instincts on that one
Damn you Vidoz !
Overall I am having a good Friday
SMALL loss on Vidoz
LARGE win on Lauri and the Lauri under
MEDIUM win (barely) on the Vidoz over 8.5
Tonight I went with NJ on the under 9.5 and I parlayed Alvarado to Karmazin
I hope I am right about Roman
Good luck guys ! Let's go Alvarado !

Soto looks none too pleased.
ps any lines for the Guzman round prop? He made weight, and his opponent sucks.

Great photo !
Somebody is going to catch a serious beatdown in Mexico tomorrow night.
Haven't seen any lines on Guzman anywhere....he made weight...that's an upset in itself
I still think, coming in healthy, he beats Nate Campbell
Guzman is no joke, man
he schooled Soto, and Soto is a killer !

Agreed, I believe most of us were on him to beat Nate, it was actually goode for us for him to pull out rather than fight dehydrated and physically ill.
Hear that Oscar, you piece of shit?
Hopefully Guzman gets at least 1 more fight as the underdog, I can't wait to bet him. Hell I'd bet him to beat Pac, but no way he'll get it. More likely he'll get a bout vs someone who is high risk/low pay, someone like... I dunno... Nate Campbell?

Evander Holyfield Claims His Quest For Severe Brain Damage Keeps Him Fighting
http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/evander_holyfield_claims
ATLANTA?Forty-six-year-old heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield, who has taken hundreds of blows to the head in a career spanning more than 50 professional matches, told reporters Wednesday that he wouldn't stop fighting until a neurological examination reveals that he has acute brain damage. "When I can no longer speak clearly, or remember where I'm from, or what I what I what what, then I'll know it's time to hang up the gloves, but until then I think I want spaghetti for dinner with mushrooms and rubber-band sauce," said Holyfield, adding that his Dec. 20 bout with Russian Nikolai Valuev should put him one step closer to his dream of suffering irreparable tearing and lesions of the brain, and that he likes really big Ferris wheels. "I'm close. I can feel it?the tingling sensation in my hands, the bright lights that hurt my eyes. Maybe a few more [fights] after this one. Okay, Mom, I'm going to bed now. Bye-bye." Holyfield then rubbed the top of his right ear and asked reporters, "What the hell happened here?"

Be careful what you wish for.
Story of a manager explaining his fighter he's completely shot: " Joe, you're done. You're 40, lost your reflexes, speed and timing. You can't take a shot anymore, you're slurring badly. You're going to take a beating in there.
-But boss, i'm standing to make the biggest purse of my career against this guy !
- Joe, you won't be able to count the money !"

dang, mad respect for Huerta! he's coming for a fight, and going head-first into a puncher.
as expected, Alvarado is more precise, more skilled and more powerful. under 9.5 looks like a lock.
But damn, Huerta is a tough mofo.
