AS WE APPROACHED THE ARENA THE MEDIA CREDENTIALS ATTENDENT SAID..."WRITE SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT OUR EVENT."
HOW WRONG SHE WAS.....REAL JOURNALIST TELL THE STORY ....GOOD OR BAD....HERE UNFORTUNATLEY FOR ALL ...THIS WAS THE WORST BOXING CARD IN RECENT HISTORY AND FOR ALL THE INAPPRORIATE REASONS.
THEY SAID KICKOFF AT 530...FIRST BELL AT 632....3 MINUTES AND 36 SECONDS OF ONE SIDED ACTION AND ANOTHER DELAY TILL 707....THEN ANOTHER SHORT SECOND ROUND ONE SIDED MINI ACTION FIGHT AND AGAIN ITS MORE DEAD TIME TIL THE SWING BOUT TWO HOURS INTO THE NIGHT
....AT THE TWO HOURS IN PERIORD WE HAD LESS THAN THREE ROUNDS OF BOXING....THE MAIN EVENT NO BETTER WITH A QUICK SECOND ROUND KNOCKOUT....TRULY UNBALANCED UNCOMPETITIVE TERRIBLE MATCHMAKING WITH AWFUL ONE SIDED BOUTS...WHO BUYS THIS.....SOME DID INCLUDING ESPN 2.
THIS THEN FOR ME SPECIFICALLY....REPORTER-FAN....I REMAIN THE MOST IMPATIENT DON'T WASTE MY TIME REPORTER OF ALL TIME AND THEN TOPPED OFF WITH THE USUAL HORRENDOUS RAP MUSIC...AWFUL.
WE ARE CLOSE TO THE END OF CIVILIZATION.
I WANT EVERYONE TO SUCCEDE AND MAKE MONEY ....BOTTOM LINE IS WHO GOT ANYTHING POSITIVE OUT OF THIS ?
MAYBE THE NEVADA ATHLETIC COMMISSION DESERVES SOME BLAME FOR ALLOWING THESE HORRIBLE UNEVEN MATCHES TO TAKE PLACE.
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT GREAT FIGHTS...ACTUALLY THERE WERE A COUPLE OF GOOD ONES AT THE ROCK LAST TIME AROUND.....I HOPE FOR BETTER BOUTS IN THE FUTURE.....I HATE DEAD TIME AND I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY LAST FIGHT CARD.

You will not be back at any of my shows, John.
The matchups, if you do your homework, were solid.
Cristobal Cruz had never been stopped and was a world champion four fights ago. He was up against a kid named Fortuna, who had never fought someone of Cruz’s caliber. Fortuna turned out to be a future star with his performance.
Maurice Byarm had been ten competitive rounds with Bryant Jennings recently. He was also considered a prospect. In fact, his promoter flew from New York to watch, feeling certain his guy would win. Mago also turned out to be a lot better than anyone estimated.
The final cruiserweight fight was a war between Williams and Otero.
Rocco Santamauro had to eat some good punches to get his decision win over Dewayne Wisdom, and he didn’t win every round.
You were also sent a notice in plenty of time about the revised start time.
In boxing, there are sometimes knockouts. Just because Hatton vs. Pacquiao ended in a quick knockout doesn't mean the matchmaker did a bad job. These were solid matchups that turned out that way and if you had done your homework you'd know this.
This story of yours is a hatchet job, you’re not telling the story, you’re telling your grumpy opinion and you will not be back as a credentialed writer at any event I’m involved with.
