On The Watch “It’s All About Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Richard Commey”

Vacant WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight Title

Vasiliy Lomachenko (16-2, 11 Kos) had himself another dominating performance last night on the Top Rank Main Event card at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, when he completely dismantled Richard Commey (30-4, 27 Kos) with ease.

Loma looked as sharp as ever and laser focussed from rounds one to twelve. His foot work from side to side with speed caused mad confusion to Richard who clearly had a hard time judging his distance, at times missing widely in the air.

Loma wasted absolutely no punches and his punch output was ridiculously troubling Commey who was getting lumped up from head to body at will.

As the rounds progressed, it became painfully clear that Commey did not belong with Loma inside that squared circle. By round seven, Loma applied some serious aggressive pressure with power behind every shot that dropped Commey cold for a quick 8 count. The resilient Commey survived the troubling round and actually proceeded to stay somewhat competitive enough to make it through the full 12 rounds of action.

All three Judges scored it 119-108, 119-108 and 117-110 unanimously for Lomachenko.

This hungry version of Lomachenko will definitely be a problem to the 135-Pound Division. Loma is not holding back and is looking for all the smoke with the top Lightweights in the Division hands down.

With this convincing win Loma picked up the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight Title possibly giving him a clearer path at the new Unified IBF/WBA/WBO/WBC “Franchise” Champion and Ring Magazine Lightweight Champion George Kambosos Jr. (20-0, 10 Kos).

A very intriguing matchup if it ever comes to fruition in the near future.

Until then, congratulation Vasiliy on another overwhelming performance.

On The Watch “It’s All About Gervonta Davis vs Isaac Cruz”

WBA “Regular” Lightweight challenge

Sunday night’s Showtime PPV Main Event between WBA “Regular” Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis (26-0, 24 Kos) and Isaac Cruz (22-2-1, 15 Kos) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA was an exciting bout that had Tank reaching into his toolbox to pull of the win after injuring his left hand at the midpoint of the bout. Real Talk!

Isaac came out the gate like a hungry “Pitbull” ready to take out his prey. His steady aggressive style was key to applying pressure on Tank who did a lot of movement, slipping and dipping, countering Cruz with some well-timed combinations preventing Cruz from having an easy stationary target.

Cruz’s style forced Tank to stay light on his feet and use more of his boxing skills adjusting on the fly and countering Cruz’s nonstop pressure. Cruz made this bout a lot tougher than I expected it to be for Davis. The Kid is tough as nails and took some heavy shots from Tank but never looked deterred as the rounds were piling up.

Cruz’s resilience inside that squared circle made this bout intriguing since Tank had to work to secure this bout. Cruz put it all on the line and fought a hell of a fight going toe to toe with a known heavy banger like Tank.

That being said, there are levels to this boxing sh*t and Tank kept his composure, flipped the script on Cruz and boxed his way with an injured left hand (his money shot) all the way to the 12th round. The Judges scored it 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 unanimously for Gervonta Davis.

I tip my “B” hat to Isaac for giving us such a great performance. The Kid is tough, durable and a serious problem to any Lightweight in the Division. This was a competitive bout from start to finish with leather being thrown from both sides but the more accurate and effective work came from the Champ. Hands Down.

Congratulations Gervonta, this was a tougher win then expected but you prevailed – now on to the next one.

On The Watch “It’s All About The NBA-Who’s On Top?”

The NBA-Who’s on Top?

We are officially at the Quarter mark of this year’s full NBA Season and although we are still striving through a Worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, the players from the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference have put together a very competitive and balanced start of an entertaining season so far.

Sharing the No. 1 Spot in the entire league to date are the Golden State Warriors (20-4) and the Phoenix Suns (20-4). Them two teams have been balling out of their minds as of late even battling it out with each other each winning a game apiece in their first two encounters. The Warriors have been able to maintain their strong hold in the Western Conference by playing team ball while still without the services of Klay Thompson who will hopefully make an appearance soon. As for the Suns they were on a hot 18 game winning streak only to be snapped by the Warriors in their revenge game. That said, the Suns have their squad intact and are back on track causing havoc in the entire league. The Utah Jazz (16-7) has kept their name in the race with some steady play making sure they are not overlooked. They could easily find themselves at the No. 1 Spot as well. The Memphis Grizzlies (14-10) are surprisingly climbing up the standing beating some very good teams on their way up. A Playoff run might be in their near future if they can maintain this standing. The Los Angeles Clippers (13-12), the Dallas Mavericks (11-11), the Los Angeles Lakers (12-12), the Denver Nuggets (11-12) and the remaining of the western teams are struggling this early season but they still have time to change it up.

The Eastern Conference teams have improved dramatically. As of today, there are 10 teams above the 500 PCT mark and that hasn’t happened in a long time. Leading the pack are the Brooklyn Nets (16-7) who are still without the services of Kyrie Irving but still keeping teams honest out there on the court making every game count. The Chicago Bulls (17-8) have a real good chance at the No. 1 spot the way they’ve been balling as of late. Them Boys are making some serious noise throughout the league. The Defending Champions the Milwaukee Bucks (16-9) are steadily working their way back into form and still have their squad intact so once fully healthy, they will definitely maintain a strong hold in their Division. The Miami Heat (14-11) and the Washington Wizards (14-11)  teams both possess a lethal squad capable of reaching the No. 1 Spot with the talent they have put together this year. In this early season they have already proven to be a problem at being very competitive with any of the top teams from both conferences. The Boston Celtics (13-11), the Philadelphia 76ers (13-11), the Charlotte Hornets (14-12) and the remaining Eastern Conference Teams are all bubbling around still searching to fit in but doing so while still being competitive. The Eastern Conference is on a come up with still lots of games to be played. These standings can change on any given day.

Stay locked in cause this season is surprisingly heating up early!!
