Prudential Center, Newark, NJ, February 6, 2010
Welcome to the latest edition of the Jersey Fight Journal, where a snowstorm prevented me from attending the scintillating Paul Williams-Sergio Martinez fight in December yet a feared blizzard miraculously dissipated tonight, giving me the great fortune to watch Peter Quillin and Fernando Zuniga clinch until things got uncomfortably intimate. Would I like to see a Fight of the Year candidate? No, thanks, I’d rather gather material for the next “Quiet Man Hug.”
(As pose-offs go, Quillin-Zuniga pales in comparison to Zoolander-Hansel. As fights go, Quillin-Zuniga pales in comparison to Zoolander-Hansel.)
Tomasz Adamek electrified the crowd (by being Tomasz Adamek) and turned in a solid, if unspectacular, performance against Jason Estrada on a card that was a little lackluster overall. However, the amazing atmosphere, outstanding Polish fans, and sweet luxury suite hookup (thanks to Tony Tavares and Scott Cowan for inviting me along) helped salvage the night. It is my duty to salvage the following Journal with my intellectual insight and scathing wit.
Don’t get your hopes up.
