Samuel Vargas and Brandon Cook are in action tonight in Ontario.
Live video is available via UStream and Boxing Channel.
I'm joining the card a hair late myself, but it's still very early in the show, and the main event and most of the card is still to come. Tonight in Mississauga, Ontario, there's some live boxing going down, and since Ortiz vs Berto was supposed to happen tonight, we've got the room to cover some of the more unsung fighters in the boxing world, so we will.
In the main event, Samuel Vargas (8-0-1, 2 KO) meets Manolis Plaitis (17-1-1, 8 KO) in a 10-round welterweight bout. Vargas, a Colombian-born fighter now based in Ontario, had a great fight last year with Ahmad Cheikho.
Won't lie and say it's the biggest show in the world, but you'll get a chance to see some fighters you otherwise wouldn't, and hey, it's boxing, you know what I mean? Let's watch some boxing. Let's talk about some boxing. Let's do this, you guys. It'll be fun. I promise.

Round 3 right now for Denton Daley (4-0, 2 KO) and Benito Quiroz (6-1, 6 KO). cruiserweights, 6 rounds
Daley pulled a Mayorga “not hurtin me bro” bit in the second round. Syd Vanderpool training Daley.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Daley’s one of those Roy idolizers
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
idolizers is not a word obviously
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Round three really sloppy. Daley is one of those guys in love with himself.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Daley coming out Roy-ing in round 4.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Our own Andrew Fruman calls Quiroz “a homeless man’s Librado Andrade.” Spot-on.
Daley having no trouble other than the trouble that he’s not quite the stud he thinks he is.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Daley reminds me of Roy Jones, but the Jones who fought Omar Sheika. He’s definitely in control, just a raw prospect who is obsessed with flash.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
That eye is looking ugly, though it could be my stream quality. Still boxing is boxing!
Eoin_not_ian - February 11, 2012
The eye’s in bad shape indeed.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Daley wins 60-54, 60-54, 60-54
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Got the (choppy) stream going after a bit of struggle. Eye does look bad. Glad to see this, Saturday night without boxing just ain’t right.
BoxAnne - February 11, 2012
Denton Daley: “I’ve been out of the ring over a year. I just wanted to get hit. It sounds weird, but…”
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I like how Thomas Treiber turns up everywhere. Daley sounds like a nice guy.
Eoin_not_ian - February 11, 2012
Weird, Michael Oliveira really IS fighting on this show…and supposedly on Friday on ShoBox, too.
Michael Oliveira (16-0, 12 KO) vs Sergei Melis (18-7, 7 KO)
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Ok, Scott, you’ve sold me.
Stream up, ready to go.
davecwright - February 11, 2012
[pouring cognac]
now I’m ready to go
davecwright - February 11, 2012
Oh it’s Maker’s Mark o’clock up in here
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Corey Erdman: “They really give out those WBC world champion t-shirts to just about anyone, don’t they?”
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Refreshing to see just a plain blue canvas.
BoxAnne - February 11, 2012
lots of decent trades in 1, I thought
davecwright - February 11, 2012
god, Oliveira sucks. I try not to be that blunt, but…
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Let's be positive!
two guys actually mixing it up a bit in there. Rather this than paying to watch someone take a dump against a Klitschko
davecwright - February 11, 2012
Yeah, yeah. But he’s really not good at all. The Oliveira press releases get out of hand.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Anyone have any idea who won Prizefighter today?
BoxAnne - February 11, 2012
Adil Anwar over Tyrone Nurse.
alargar - February 11, 2012
thanks
BoxAnne - February 11, 2012
Anyone of future interest on here?
tylerrcurtis - February 11, 2012
Not yet,
BoxAnne - February 11, 2012
There aren’t any future stars on the show. Just worth seeing these guys basically, in case they pop up on a Shobox or something eventually.
Vargas is a lot of fun. Oliveira is Oliveira.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I recall Vargas from before.
tylerrcurtis - February 11, 2012
Does this boxing channel show live stuff often?
tylerrcurtis - February 11, 2012
Sometimes – smaller shows from Canada, Dominican, Colombia, etc.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Oliveira vs Melis a pretty good fight. All competitive rounds through 4.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Melis has won at least two of these five rounds.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I’ve got this 3-3 after six. Oliveira is really struggling.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Oliveira just got CRACKED in the sixth. He’s hurt.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Boy, Oliveira taunts like a doofus, gets booed, and then gets smacked again.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
4-3, 67-66 for Melis through seven. This is the final round. Brazil Duddy is probably up 5-2 on the real cards.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
man, Melis is taking another round. Oliveira is really not good.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Pretty entertaining fight for the three rounds I came in on.
theninthlayer - February 11, 2012
5-3, 77-75 for Melis on my card. Best I could honestly see for Oliveira is a draw.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
that was fun
davecwright - February 11, 2012
Yeah, pretty good fight. I don’t mind watching Oliveira, but he’s got no future as a contender at all.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Again: Duddy II.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Long time to get the scores. Jeez.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
79-73, 77-75, 77-75 for Oliveira. That 79-73 card is awful. Absolutely awful.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Frankly the other two cards for Oliveira aren’t good either.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Soon as I heard the 79 score I knew it’d be some kind of robbery!
theninthlayer - February 11, 2012
“He’s a great fighter,” says Oliveira. Not really. Says he’d like to have a rematch.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Oliveira might be best off fighting retired lightweight Popo Freitas instead of fellow middleweights. He promises the Freitas fight. OH GOODIE
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
The production values on this stream are a real mixed bag…
theninthlayer - February 11, 2012
Also going to throw out there that Sal Sanchez II is fighting on the free WBC site tonight for anyone interested. Not sure who would be but yeah haha.
tylerrcurtis - February 11, 2012
AHHH
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Middleweights, 6 Rounds: Brandon Cook (4-0, 2 KO) vs Chris Aucoin (4-5-1, 0 KO)
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Why is he the “Bad Boy”? Does he smoke reefers or disrespect authority or the like? Did he do time in JUVIE?
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I can tell by his slightly spiky haircut that he is his own man
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Erdman notes Cook’s “shiny new Rival trunks”
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Another pretty fun fight so far!
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
lol
davecwright - February 11, 2012
Man this fight is sloppy. But better than FNF.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I’m having a 90s party for my birthday next month and building a music playlist for it. It appears in Canada that the songs are still quite relevant.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
little phone booth action. lovin it
davecwright - February 11, 2012
I thought he didn’t look comfortable in the first two rounds. Cook’s a phone booth guy through and through.
Bless him.
davecwright - February 11, 2012
good fight. Not pretty, but good.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Yeah, good fight. I’m liking the commentators for this fight a lot too.
theninthlayer - February 11, 2012
58-56, 59-55, 60-54 for Cook
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
hahaha audio comes in on “shit”
theninthlayer - February 11, 2012
awesome. Just awesome
davecwright - February 11, 2012
wrong camera angle, guys
davecwright - February 11, 2012
who doesn’t want an 20 foot aerial view of hot chicks? lol
Sammlung - February 11, 2012
bro did you see the top of that one girl’s head
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
I love the super saturated sound. I have trouble dialing in something that sounds that fuzzy for my guitar.
tkeithwhite - February 11, 2012
Main event is next
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Mississauga is not particularly pretty, it’s a more industrial town, but it has a huge mall
Apprentice - February 11, 2012
Trash talking during the instructions
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
WOW huge KO!
Apprentice - February 11, 2012
That’s that. Vargas just teed off on him eventually. Good stuff.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Platis still down, but he’s stirring and trying to get up. Docs are on him.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
BTW, what’s up with aerial shots DURING the fight?
Apprentice - February 11, 2012
Canada.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
Ontario actually. I’ve seen broadcasts from the Prairies and I’d never seen that before.
Apprentice - February 11, 2012
Canada.
Scott Christ - February 11, 2012
ugh Rogers sports, no wonder…
Apprentice - February 11, 2012
nope
that was just the in house guy for the video screens. Those shots were never on TV, they just like to use that shot too much in there.
fatman2442 - February 15, 2012
That was fast. That guy was out pretty bad.
tkeithwhite - February 11, 2012
So am I on the right channel on this boxing channel website? Do I need to hit a link or something? Seem to be running back to back to back pre-recorded and unrelated videos.
lcollins1 - February 11, 2012
oh – it’s over isn’t it.
lcollins1 - February 11, 2012
yeah, main event ended in a TK1… pretty KO
