pretty darn good fights tonight.

i like how in the first fight they said guttierez "was wobbled". <g> wobbled? man, he looked like chuck berry doing his trademark duckwalk. rocky is a very hard working fighter who, i believe, will probably do just as he said, and change a lot of guys who fight him, as in they will not be the same afterwards.

the 17 year old kid, diaz, being down for the first time, took it pretty hard, despite pulling out the split decision. i think he won, but he kinda' needs to get his emotions in check. heck, he didn't do that badly that he should be so down on himself.

lazcano is rugged, and talented, and very candid in the interview ("so i tried to butt him"). i figured it was going to be a short night for alverez when i heard he had to lose 3 lbs the day of the weigh-in, and his open mouth, heavy breathing from the second round on confirmed that suspicion for me. lazcano knows how to close the show, and that's a great trait in my book.

well worth tuning in for these fights tonight.
