That video there is one of the two most noteworthy bouts of the weekend. Junior welterweight prospect Danny Garcia, who at times has looked spectacular and other times lackluster, was in fine form for his 4th round knockout of Michael Arnaoutis, and it should’ve been stopped a round earlier. The right hook/left hook combo that sent Arnaoutis down not once but twice was a beaut.
The other noteworthy bout of the weekend hasn’t hit YouTube yet, but it featured flyweight champion Pongsaklek Wonjongkam fighting to an unexpectedly difficult decision over Suriyan Por Chokchai. If not for the WBC’s lame unintentional foul rule, it would have been a draw — an even more unexpected result for Wonjongkam, who’s picked up some top-10 pound-for-pound love in some places this year.
I missed them both over the weekend visiting family and friends in Evansville, IN. One of the results of that trip is that I now have a fantasy basketball team named “Andray Blatche’s Raccoon Nursery,” but it would take too long to explain why (as would my pals’ team names of “Raymond Felton’s Pigeon Peepshow” and “Roy Hibbert’s Hamster Holocaust”). Instead, maybe we should review the last week or so of what little happened that we haven’t yet.
Quick Jabs
There’s yet more Super Six/Andre Dirrell aftermath.
