    ****.

    He had the jab nailed but everything else was off. The guy he was fighting was unbeaten but that was in Minnesota. He needs to knock it on the head IMHO.

    Why did Bernardo Osuna keep getting the Klitschko brothers' names wrong? :huh

    Said Wladimir beat Adamek then that Vitali beat Chambers back in 2010 :lol:

    That Truax fella does hold a win over Kerry Hope :lol:

    Only caught up on the Stevenson and Lara fights from last night.

    Had no idea Manny Steward was working with Stevenson. Really poor stoppage in that fight, sure Gonzalez got caught but he was far from gone. Stevenson is an interesting addition to the SMW picture. He might not be able to mix it at the top level but he can certainly cause some of the guys on the fringes of the top 10 problems.

    Wouldn't mind him rematching Boone, did he just get caught in the first fight or what?

    The disappointing thing about Lara is after last night and the Williams fight before there's not going to be that many top LMWs willing to fight him. There's no chance GBP allows him to challenge Alvarez is there? For me the obvious fight to make is Lara/Molina II. It's a bigger fight now and would be perfect to open up a HBO/SHO broadcast.

    Was meant to be a robbery by all accounts, if not very close.

    Lara-Molina II is probably a step backwards for Lara after him banjoeing Hearns and Molina "losing" to Kirkland.

    Lara-Kirkland anyone?

    Lara would stop Kirkland. I like that fight though.

    Lara should beat him comfortably. I don't think Kirkland's people go near a boxer type again unless they have to. They'll just stick him in with come forward guys.

    After Kirkland/Molina the plan was to make Kirkland/Williams but Kirkland did his shoulder.

    Trout is fighting Delving Rodriguez -winner of that would be a good opponent for Lara.

    ****, forgot to do a preview of this. Here's a quick one:

    It's Sillakh. Against what appears to be a decent opponent. Watch it. And the other fight looks really good and evenly matched too.

    Not sure if we're allowed to mention it but ShoBox looks really good too :yep
