It was by chance last noche, to stumble onto FOX Net @ 11PM to catch the start of an interesting twin-bill of furious fisticuffs from south of the border down Cartagena, Colombia way - that was the good - followed by the mediocre third men in  charge, and worse yet the ugly, come the commentator department. 

But first, the ring action - and without it from start to finish scorching rounds in both contests, I surely would have packed it in before the show went full cycle at 0115 hours this early Sunday morn. 

Opens with Jesus Geles, tall, lean Colombian facing tough Puerto Rican Omar Soto - surprise seeing Geles having the better while comfortable working both on the inside as well as long range against a shorter Soto. 

Handicap widens during stanza two with Soto being cut over left eye courtesy of mutual meeting of the minds - house medic called in by third hack in charge Roberto Ramirez who gives the ok to continue. 

Geles size advantage sees him in control over opening three candles - but Soto surprises by grabbing numbers four and five in a “Katie bar the doorâ€� two-fisted barrage. 

Next is Geles with the edge in numero six - and then continues in control on my unofficial following nine rounds at which point is looking like a winner. 

The game Puerto Rican comes alive over the championship rounds with a strong finish over candles 10-11-12 to  earn a majority standoff on the official scorecards that went 114-114, 114-114- 115-113 Geles. 

My unofficial had it Geles 115-113 in a battle that could easily had been scored for either fighter - a return is surely a natural. 

Geles goes to 11-1-1, 5 KO and shows mucho promise with the height-reach over most at light-flyweight - needs to upgrade the outside game to become complete entity. 

Soto now at 15-5-2, 6 KO - game, willing club fighter worth the price of admission. 

Main event looked to have its work cut out - WBO interim Minimumweight bauble up for grabs, with Raul Garcia arriving at 28-1-1, 17 KOs in with age 25 Luis DeLaRosa at undefeated 14 wins, a draw with 8 stoppages.

De La Rosa grabs the edge with aggressive non-stop approach - the tough Colombian walk in windmill style claims numero dos when credited with knockdown after catching Garcia flatfooted and scoring with body punch. 

De La Rosa slows come round four, and the port side combination punching Garcia enjoys a mini-roll over stanzas 4,5,6 - still, on my unofficial the Colombian picks up the volume over seven thru nine as he strays below the 38th parallel during a barrage that called for a referee  "take five" for the wounded Garcia. No point deduction. 

The California based transplanted Mexican Garcia recovered to have the better during round ten busy exchanges - then holds his own in a scorching round eleven standoff - show closes with De La Rosa having the edge in number twelve. 

My unofficial had it De La Rosa 115-112 in points and 7-5 under round by round method. 

Official scoring had Garcia claiming the WBO Interim Minimumweight bauble via split decision 114-113 twice 115-113 Garcia. This one another worthy of a return. 

P.S. So much for the satisfying ring action - both referees in charge Genaro Rodriguez and Roberto Ramirez went the usual mediocre at best overly camera conscience - but last and not least, the commentator duo took the proverbial cake. 

The villain - worst ever I have heard doing commentary has to be someone named "Colonel"  Bob Sheridan - his caddie not as bad but parroted all that the %^$# colonel spouted. Think I am close with Marotta but unsure since neither clown's name surfaced on the screen. 

The Colonel, during live ring action, goes into my 3-strikes your out violation in doing commentary: 1) During the Geles-Soto fight the "Colonel" is heard repeating how fan favorite Geles needs to turn the left shoulder closer to the body to get more power into his punches. Is too square to his opponent. 2) Late in the action, the "Colonel" is heard screaming to Geles to go for the knockout if he wants to become champion.� 3) Somewhere during the telecast, during ring action, our "Colonel" goes on an ego kick - tells us he was encouraged to take boxing judge test - says he did, and scored correctly on all 100 questions.

On that final note, I must confess I was concerned over the welfare of those watching the fights live - thinking the "Colonel" was so full of hot gas he just may explode before the joint was emptied.
