Javier Fortuna fights a lot like a young Manny Pacquiao
Shame that most y'all ain't watching this. It's not Morales/Barrera, but it's pretty damn entertaining.

These guys are really sloppy. Don't seem to be top fighters, but it's a good matchup and neither guy is shy.

Fortuna is a pretty reckless fighter. Vasquez doing better, but Fortuna still winning 4-1 on my card.
EDIT: Take back my comment on Vasquez. He's gassed and barring a second wind, he's done. lol @ anybody thinking this is a close fight. Fortuna has been dominant for most of this fight.

I'd like to see Fortuna fight Gamboa after this win. That would be another good matchup.

He's crushing. Got him winning 9 of 11 going into the last round.
118-110 imo

I feel like this Khan Algieri fight will be like Lara Trout.

Seems like a good comparison.

When Algieri can stagger you, you probably shouldn't be fighting Mayweather.

Pretty good fight thru 1. Khan is quick but Algieri got 1 real goot shot that looked to stun Khan.
By comparison that was a punch Manny walked thru all night when they fought.

Khan too fast. Algieri gonna have to catch with one of those looping shots for the KO.
EDIT: Great fight. Khan won the first 3 rounds, but third might have been close.

I just rewatched Algieri-Pac before this fight. It really makes you appreciate Pac's power because Algieri is handling clean punches from Khan, whereas everytime Pac hit him it bothered him a lot.
I guess from that fight I completely underestimated Algieri. I think he really has a chance to get the KO this fight the way it is going, although he is losing every round cause Khan is hitting him wish so many clean punches.

Algieri putting in a nice effort. He won round 4 to my eyes. Maybe nothing else so far, but hey, if he can put Khan down or wear him down he is still in this.

I don't think he won any other round than 4.

Yeah, Algieri is being real aggressive and going after Khan but not really landing anything last few rounds.

Good fight, but that is a problem for Khan. Shows he doesn't really belong in the ring with Mayweather.

Algieri might get a close, home-field decision win. Moving forward looks good and biased judges are not unheard of.
IMO Khan has won all but 4 and 8.

Exactly this.
