Switching over to HBO: Angulo-Yorgey fight

Wow, this Yorgey guy couldn't even make eye contact during the referee's final remarks before the fight's start. That's always a bad sign.

I'm shocked that Jack Loew [best known as Kelly Pavlik's trainer] didn't expressly ask the guy to double-up his jab. That is Lowe's strategy for, um, everything.

Near the end of Round Two: Yikes, this guy is toast. Vaya con Dios, Soup Can.

A few seconds later: Yikes, two. That was the most brutal knockout I've seen on HBO in years. Jack Loew seems to be bellowing something about how the ref shoulda stopped the fight sooner. I guess he forgot to bring a towel to throw into the ring.

The slow-motion repeats of the final combination that Angulo landed are painful to watch. Poor Yorgey was out before the second, harder shot landed. It is nice that they're using that kind of footage in their broadcast instead of in hype for the winning fighter's next match. Pacquiao's fights are a textbook example of this; I knew he was reshuffling De La Hoya's face in their fight, but had zero sense of how devastating his punches were until I saw some hi-def slow-mo film of them in some promotional clip for the Cotto fight.

11:45 UPDATE: I appreciate that the announcing team are shitting on Dawson's track record against name but "geriatric" fighters. I'd like to think Larry Merchant's ghost is smiling over them right now. [The real Larry is passed out, drunk, face-down behind a jukebox playing a skipping 45 of some Patsy Cline song that he periodically moans and mumbles along with until the world starts spinning again.]
