    Antwone Smith vs. Kermit Cintron
    Dannie Williams vs. Antonio Cervantes

    Notes: It is a surprise that a veteran like Kermit Cintron is on Friday Night Fights. Antwone Smith isn't well known but has a nice record of 22-2-1. This is a good fight for Cintron to get his career back on track after the rusty fight verses Carlos Molina and the ring stunt loss verses Paul Williams over a year before.

    David Diaz Vs. Henry Lundy
    Grady Brewer Vs. Demetrius Andrade

    Notes: The PERFECT card. David Diaz is a boxing veteran who has fought many good fighters such as Erik Morales, Manny Pacquiao, Jesus Chavez and many more. He is fighting Henry Lundy, who fought John Molina and lost by stoppage. In a fight where Lundy was dominant most of the fight.

    Now, Grady Brewer, Another veteran who recently upseted ( EXPOSED ) the undefeated Fernando Guerrero. Overall here are Brewer's biggest fights, Fernando Guerrero, Cornelius Bundrage, Reggie Nash and Steve Forbes, and many more. This will be a step up in class from Andrade's normal fights where he has been impressive with good knockouts.

    There have been many changes in these cards but this is the most up to date one.

    Predictions?

    Smith is a good inside fighter. Should be interesting to see what happens if he can get his feet into position against Cintron and stay there.

    I'm taking Brewer to beat another young lion, and Cintron to narrowly pull out a decision and get blasted for doing so.

    ESPN has been doing some really nice cards the last few years, they get more out of their money than HBO all day long. The last two cards look pretty solid I'd pick the following:

    Cintron-Smith- nice fight but Cintron, who has always been a bit weak mentally, is probably near his low point and is ripe for another upset. Smith is a solid guy and this is his big shot, I 'd take Smith by decision.

    Diaz-Lundy- nice style match up here and I think we'll get some nice action. I like Lundy big in this one, he's a good fighter and Diaz hasn't been active and is past his best. It should be fun but I like Lundy and maybe by a late stoppage.

    Andrade-Brewer- Huge step up for Andrade who I'm undecided on. He has some talent but its been against no-hopers. I think he has enough talent and Brewer's age combined to make Andrade a slight favorite. Andrade by decision.

    No. A former champion who fought the best for so long ( Antonio Margarito, Carlos Molina, Walter Matthysse, Alfredo Angulo, Sergio Martinez, and Paul Williams ( Even though he lost to Molina. ) I'm just curious how Espn got him on their card.
