First up over the televised portion is busy punching Urbano Antillon proving too much for Bobby Pacquiao - both quickly meet at center stage with Pacquiao holding his own early with the quicker hands from the port side - but late in the stanza the power punching Mexican scores with a big left uppercut-hook to the chin (some describe the punch as a hybrid hook) that troubles the Filipino - and it’s visible a message is delivered.      

Antillon quickly follows the advantage with heavy duty combinations that closes the show at the 2:49 seconds mark of the stanza - the crippler a power right hand to the solar plexus area that results in a ten count.

Antillon remains unbeaten at 22-0 with 15 arriving via knockout - Pacquiao drops to a now journeyman level 29-14-3 with 13 KO’s. 

Post Scripts:

• Urbano Antillon ~ age 25 still has room to grow. Manny’s kid brother Bobby was made to order - willing, but shop worn and no valid punching threat. The inside hook got it started and the body punches dropped the curtain. Says here it’s back to the drawing board on technique improvement, before stepping up to the next level with proven lightweights Casamayor, Diaz, Campbell and others.
   

• Bobby Pacquiao ~ age 27 but clearly on down hill journey - needs help from his friends in choosing future dance partners. The uglier the better, or the rest of the story could carry a nasty ending.

The main event saw Tye “Big Sky” Fields clocking the best time of the night with a 1:37 seconds stanza one stoppage of 3-days notice Roderick Willis who entered with look in the eyes of arriving for a payday. 

No surprise over the end result, although Fields displayed little future hope for success among the valid contenders among the four sanctioning bodies - yes, he opened quickly while flailing away with both hands in standard amateur style. 

Willis, tries to counter during the early seconds of round one, but quickly dismisses thoughts of scoring the upset when the few power punches have zero effect - then halfway through the three-minute journey, “Big Rod”  backs to the ropes in wait for the referee in charge to call it no-mas. 

Post Scripts:

• Tye Fields (40-1, 37 KOs) ~ Nothing proven in this latest gimme for promoter Bob Arum to sanitize, in hopes of leading to a near future mega-money title shot. No longer the 6-8 giant with body-builder physique that had restricted - he now has smoother bod - problem, there’s no snap in the punches or a single combination in the arsenal.          
             

• Rod Willis (13-3-1, 7 KOs) ~ Entered this disaster on two bout losing streak and three day notice. Justified to show for pay check. Surrendered meekly once finding he had neither the puncher chance or conditioning to outfox his bigger opponent.    

Closing comments: This latest Versus channel tidbit lost any credibility in topping the card with its Fields promotion. The initial opponent bailed out three days prior to the fight date. Some age 35 French poodle Joshue Blocus from gay Paree, got the pre-fight jitters similar to the yesterday French army when seeing the mechanized Germans rolling by the Eiffel Tower. Still, there’s promoter Bob Arum responding to “I’m still learning” Wallace Matthews, in post fight interview, with shouts of having no problem putting the “kid” (age 33) in with Wlad Klitschko or Sam Peter. Brave man this Arum - he won’t be the one on life support if those money makers materialize.       

Commentator duo Nick Charles and Wallace Matthews - after others as in Kellerman, Lewis, Kenny, Farhood I am completely at a loss for words.
