Boxing 5/28 - 5/29

[Ghost Kid]

Teddy has this thing a draw thru 4
I think Lucas is going to get a lot of credit for being tough and hanging in there
some of these rounds may go his way
can you imagine if Upshaw and Lucas win on this card ?
:scared
what a parlay that would be

 

[Ghost Kid]

if this was a 3 rounder Lucas might have won it
but he got smashed good in rnd 5
and doesn't look like he can go the whole way

 

[Ghost Kid]

Lucas takes rnd 6 !
wow
this guy is going to be 40 years old tomorrow
what heart
what guts
good fight
Lucas may lose, but this guy is a straight pimp
what a warrior
:box2:

 

[Ghost Kid]

Lucas takes rnd 7 !
wow.....amazing effort....

 

[Ghost Kid]

I'm not sure he can go the last 9 minutes
but if he does
he has a chance at the decision
what a fighter Lucas is !
wow
this is crazy

 

[Ghost Kid]

fight is stopped at the end of rnd 8
too much blood from a cut Lucas
Andrade wins ITD
but WOW
what a fight by Lucas
HOLY SHIT
super human effort

 

[Romi]

Mad props to Lucas...BUT he is getting away with a ton of holding...he's getting his digs in but he's also getting beaten down in there. Lucas has won a few rds but i have andrade up....bad cut...dude is tough...fight ovaaaaa!

 

[gardenweasel]

i was worried it was going to be an andrade decision...

whew.....

 

[Ghost Kid]

crowd literally crying and chanting Lucas
AMAZING
Eric Lucas is one bad ass mother fer man
there aren't many 40 year olds willing to go to hell like that
impressive shit

Librado Andrade = Most Loving Man on Earth
The guy is full of heart for everyone

Andrade has to be one of the classiest fighters around today. You just don't see that kind of respect shown to other fighters. I wish he had a little better D but he is what he is. Props to both fighters tonight...too bad there aren't more fighters like these guys.

Well, pretty shitty Friday. Decarie was disappointing. It sounds like M'Baye put in a good effort but we know what he is. If Decarie was legit he would have won this.

Lucas lost me a small play, but I thought he was worth the couple drinks. Great effort there.

Upshaw was the dog to go on. I thought about him too damn it, but didn't pull the trigger. I knew he had fought well against fair opposition, and that CES - East Coast promo company signed him after watching him fight. You had to think St. Juste would hold serve here, but he really didn't have much when it came down to it.

Hope tomorrow goes better. Man, after seeing those weigh-in shots of Tamara-Lazarte, I'm diggin' my play on Tamara even more. Lazarte is a hobbit.

 

[Quanah]

Briggs is slipping... It took him a whole 1:38 to get rid of Calloway. I agree with Romi and the board. Either fight somone or go away. Dude can punch though.

 

[Zerwas]

I slept on Upshaw as well!!

Actually, this was the only fight that I didnt really pay attantion too (+ the prizefighter matches)....I just wondered why the odds were so wide...but didnt pull the trigger...

Maybe Mbaye is stronger at welter, he could have been drained at jr. welter!

 

[Ghost Kid]

you guys are smarter than me then

I would have NEVER bet Upshaw
guy who had a draw with McGirt Jr. would never get my money
This result shocked me tonight

but in hindsight
St Juste took the fight on short notice (replacing the Bika-Brinkley fight in Canada tonight)
St Juste just fought Miranda, and obviously was not mentally prepared for the quick turn around

and the kid Upshaw, for all his rawness, had physical advantages and came to scrap

as weasel pointed out, the fight could have been stopped in round 4, if Upshaw jumped on him and went for the KO
St Juste pulled some veteran shit to survive there....he was really hurt

A deserved victory for the young American fighter

Good luck Andrey
I took Moses as well
I like matt's anaylsis and the location means a tremendous amount here
but honestly, Moses seems the better fighter looking at tape
Acosta, perhaps, was made to look better than he is by Urbano.
This fight occurs in the next 4 hours - hopefully we get a result from Namibia before Tuesday.
:mj07:
Does anyone know a website that streams from
Windhoek, Namibia ?

I just assumed that you would be the Madjacks-Namibia connection today . What's this site coming to when Ghost can't provide us with an illegal free HD live stream from Namibia :cuss: If this keeps up, there's going to be a mutiny in here.
Speaking of the far reaches in Africa, I recall some fight about a yr ago in Africa where they had to run to a near by creek btw rds to get their fighter some water :142smilie. I believe Joey was giving us updates on that.

I'm tailing Matt and Ghost here. I don't know jack about Moses. Let's just pray he takes us to the Promised Land today! Good luck and Shalom!
