I remember that night for a particular reason. I hit a parlay for like 3k. I intended to put DaVarryl in it and clicked the box to bet him. No sooner than I pushed confirm- his dark match was off the board because it had already started. So I went back and re-bet all my original guys except TOS and we saw what happened.....
The betting gods were on my side that night.
On a side note- TOS was a train wreck. He had insane 1 punch power but a shitbird chin. He nearly got stretched a few times here in St. Louis last summer by a journeyman. He was on a dark match for the Spink-Latimore card and some guy with a .500 record buzzed him bad a few times to where I thought he'd be going down any moment.....he ended up winning though.
I came back to MJ to check the boxing threads later that night and I saw alot of you guys all excited about betting TOS against that nobody- I didnt want to be a negative nancy and tell you guys how lucky you were that you'd won. The fightnews blurb didn't really tell too much but some woulda been sweating bullets.
rd5-mares more defensive now...nice exchanges mid rd...mares cant really bother P but P appears to be bothering M...close rd but P takes it on agression...mares moving 3-2 Perez...Mares really needed to win the early rds here and it's already starting to slip from him...he's going to need to dig deep and adjust here
press row split 3-2...trver and bern have perez up by 1
rd6-mares really on the bike now...close rd up for grabs last min...nice rt mares...mares boxing...this is the only way he can win...hit and move mares...better rd for him...perez applying pressure..close rd but i think mares nicked it...3-3 IMO
rd7-rt by P...mares moving...mares landing more shots but perez much more effective with his fewer...tough rd to score...ill call it even...i sense a sd if this keeps going this way...i have it 3-3-1
end of 7
very closer round
the problem is eugenia williams is one of the judges
and she is 90 years old, corrupt and blind
so it will down to 2 competent judges at most
good fight, controversial result for sure
abner moving, perez pushing forward, both landing
tough
rd9-good action this rd...tough crowd...booing wtf??? mares having a good 2nd half of the rd...perez looking a tad tired and mares a little resurgance...4-4-1...championship rds coming up
press row has it by 1 pt either way and bern and Trver have perez up by 1..i have it even
rd10-mares more agressive now...who would have thought??? mares wants it...perez with a good left hk...rd up for grabs last min...mares pressing...props to mares...big shots mares...excellent moment for mares and he's up by 1 on my card
