[bostonmma]

Fights start in 5 minute. I'll do a play by play for the first few rounds, then hopefully someone else can pick up the slack. Remember, when you do a pbp, you are not only doing a great service to the sherdog community, but you also increase your postcount.

Fight One:
Kermit Cintron 27-1 V Walter Dario Matthysse 26-1

Fight Three
Arturo Gatti 40-8 V Alfonso Gomez 16-3-2

Fight Two:
Antonio Margarito 34-4 V Paul Williams 32-0

Hey does anyone know where I can catch a live feed. The only sopcast channel I know of isnt playing it until tomorow. Sorry if im not supposed to ask.

 

[bostonmma]

Here we go, remember this triple header is happening on two locations, so we get two different broadcast teams.

Max Kellerman in NJ asks is Gatti still relevant, and the answer of course is no. But the Guido's think otherwise.

Larry Merchant in Cali is breaking down the Welterweight top 10, talking about SSM and Cotto'next fight.

Remember, if Gatti wins, he faces JCC JR in the fall. If Margarito wins he faces Cotto in the fall, if either guy loses it sets up a crazy domino affect. Maybe SSM/Cotto and JCC against someone with a pulse?

Weird, I'm not getting any audio on the commentary.

 

[tonymacalpine]

this looks like it will be a pretty good bout tho im not a big boxing guy. both guys have even records, good chance of a knockout lol.

 

[bostonmma]

Fun fact Walter Dario Matthysse has no idea how much he is getting paid, nor does he cares. He is so big in his country, that the local government pays for his training and he has a ton of corperate sponsors.

Michael Buffer is doing the ring announcements, it always sounds more legit when he is there.

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

Round one, Good action so far. Not many jabs landing as each boxer wants to establish the inside. Crowd is dead but the fight is actually good, these guys seem real even. Walter is the one that moves forward, but Kermit is landing a few more punches. He knocks Walter down to one knee, and Walter is down for the first time in his career. He quickly gets up, but the damage was done

10-8 Cintron

 

[tonymacalpine]

lots of action in the first round, trading pretty hard lefts. kermit seems to be countering and getting the better of the exchanges. kermit finds an opening and unloads on matthyse knocking him down at the end of the round. round 1 kermit

 

[Sinister]

Boston you should lock this thread for your PBP.

 

[Crusty D]

[Scotty B]

Holy shit that was brutal

 

[tonymacalpine]

kermit opens the second round with a hard right knocking matthyse down. action restarts and matthyse is hit with a huge combination ending with a devastating left followed by a hard right. winner kermit cintron round 2 by ko

[naner12]

Man Cintron looked impressive as hell tonight.

 

[USMCGixxer6]

well that was quick

 

[BobbyBrez]

what a sick start to the night

 

[bostonmma]

That left that finished off Walter was a thing of beauty. I can't stop watching it over and over again.

Bring on Gatti!!!!!!111111111

As much as I dislike Gatti, I can't root for Gomez since he is a druggee, so it's a toss up.

 

[phenomfan1529]

[BobbyBrez]

Kermit calls out Shane!

 

[mma_07]
