Jones by unanimous decision. Hmmm didn't Larry's post on Friday start with the exact same words? Your boy Larry called it perfectly the last two weeks, not only calling out the winner but calling out the way the victory was going to go down. Yes I ain't gonna lie, when I started the blog my first few picks were just a tad off. But now both Stella and Larry got their grooves back. As for the fight, Jones actually gave away the first 3 rounds to Tito and I was telling myself this guy better pick up the pace otherwise he is going to get outpointed. Little by little Jones did that as he picked his punches and began to land more and more. By the late rounds it was easy pickins and he put Tito on his ass in the 7th and the 10th. Trinidad is done, adios hermano. However Jones looked pretty good (but was it only because he was against a second level opponent)? Well his next fight will probably be for a championship or against a number 1 contender. Guess we will find out then.
As for the undercard it pretty much blew until the Golota-Molla heavyweight fight. This one was pretty entertaining but it sure didn't win any style points with a ton of flailing punches and clinches. Molla was the much smaller but faster guy in the beginning rounds and his wild man style was somewhat effective until he blew his load by the 6th. I have no clue how this fight went the full 12, Molla was spent, half the time he was using Golota to keep him up. I got to give credit to big Andrew because his left eye closed up 100% in about the 6th round. If you did not see it there are two ways to explain it. Think back to Rocky 1 and remember how his eyes looked by the end of the Creed fight? Got that visual, good, cause it looked even worse than that. The other way to explain it is a little grosser but think of a certain female part of the anatomy (in a horizontal position). This thing was closed shut. But the bil ol' Pole did not quit and scored the unanimous decision. Unreal as it may seem Golota might be in line for ANOTHER shot at a title.
Have a good weekend boys and girls. That's all I wanted to yap about this Sunday. Oh one more thing...GO GIANTS!!!

Da Moose get two:
"Steve Molitor retains IBF title with unanimous decision over Ricardo Castillo
RAMA, Ont. - Make that 26-0 - Steve Molitor remains perfect.
"The Canadian Kid" scored a unanimous decision over Ricardo Castillo of Mexico to retain his International Boxing Federation junior featherweight title in front of a capacity Casino Rama crowd of 5,000 Saturday night".
and:
"DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) - Ruslan Chagaev wore down Matt Skelton over 12 rounds Saturday night, winning an unanimous decision to retain his WBA heavyweight championship.
Chagaev (24-0, 17 KOs), an Uzbek fighter making his first title defense, weathered Skelton's strong start and gradually took control from the fourth round with a strong left hand. He posted a one-sided win over Skelton (21-2), the 40-year-old British Commonwealth champion who took up boxing less than six years ago after a career as a kickboxer.".
The Moose Bites were given up in Canada. Castillo is a decent sort but he's through. His roaming bar action up to fight time did not really affect his performance as much as predicted. They were enough body fluids being poured out to pay off nicely but the FooFang was the big exotic as forseen because of the garbage taco-waco stuff flating around LooneyLand. No, Castillo didn't let loose in the ring, but after the fight while changing, Lore Cyrust, our Canadian dressing room snoop, escaped with the under trunks of the loser and sure enough, there were the moist turds we needed for the 47-1 payoff on this clown.
Hey, sometimes you just have to do the dirty work yourself for the big payoff, but its the business we've chosen.
