A great couple of fights nearly ruined by the distractingly bad commentary of Jesse Vargas. That guy shouldn't be anywhere near a live mic during a fight. I don't find him particularly insightful, and he's definitely not articulate, but worse is he has no sense of when to shut up, and just blathers away saying nothing. I muted a few times, but the crowd's energy is important to a good fight, so I had to suffer through the torment. Hoping someone at DAZN reads this, or that Dan will throw some influence and protect us from that crap : )
Any word on Nontshinga's health? Cory mentioned he was taken to the hospital after the fight, but we never got an update (or at least not one I could hear through Vargas' massacring my ears). It was the kind of punishing fight that had Nontshinga's legs wobbly afterwards... hoping for the best.
Estrada generally fights down to the level of opposition, so I'm not overreacting to how vulnerable he looked, but it does further cement my opinion that Chocolotito will take a distance win in December; Estrada took a lot of punishment, and at his age and with nearly 50 fights, he needed an easy dust-off performance and didn't get one.
Was an excellent fight card to my eye's the first fight was tight, the second fight even tighter and the third fight was a bit of a surprise although I had a feeling it might turn out dif then what was being told about it just a tune up fight. That kid Cortez made a name for himself and Estrada did enough but just had to be impressed with Cortez hope they match him up right in his next fight I got a few ideas but will wait and see......Nice to have a decent card on Saturday Night hope people got to see the card, and if you didnt think it was worth it see how you feel after spending what about $90 for a fight that should be on Fox or something on other at most a PPV App anyhow got my tank filled with the fights last night, so not going to go negitive at this point.....

They should hire Malignaggi
Hector Flores is the quintessential “buzzsaw.”
