Right and left body shots, then left to the face from Emiliano and stop counting
Someone from Probox please call Fryers and put him on your card. Matched against someone of his caliber and we would have a great fight as he never quits that’s for sure
– The Torrez / Dawejko fight was a major disappointment………….
That’s bullshit. Torrez should have been awarded the fight by TKO. That jerk kept spitting out his mouthpiece on purpose and the DQ ruined Torrez’s KO record. They should change the rules about that.
Looks like Richard Torrez Jr will be fighting Peter McNeeley in December.
BZO put up a better fight than expected. Definitely a good fight. The 168 weight class jockeying for position begins. Munguia vs. Mbilli? Plant vs. Mbilli? Pacheco vs any three of them? I wouldn’t mind seeing Mccumby vs. BZO.
Torrez fight was a disappointment big time, but torrez did show a different side.
