    Tonight it is Travis Kauffman 13-0 (10 Ko's) vs Malachy Farrell 16-1 ( 12 Ko's), and in the main event Luis Carlos Abregu 24- 0 (21 Ko's) vs David Estrada 22-5 ( 13 Ko's).

    I haven't seen either Kauffman or Abregu fight , but I would pick them both to win tonight, as I have seen their opponents fight. I remember Farrell losing to Mike Marrone on Showbox, and he just looked terrible. No way Kauffman could be worse than Marrone.

    The fights start shortly, is anyone even intrested?

    absolutely. After a long day at work, nothing better than unwinding and watching some boxing.

    Kauffman was a pretty good Amatuer fighter by American standards. He calls himself the Great White Hope.

    Abregu is an Argentinian, who is suppose to be a big puncher. Supposedly they are good prospects, we will see tonight.

    Farrell makes Arreola look thin. God damn 281 lbs.

    Farrell down, big, clean left hook.

    Kauffman ruled down, although I didn't see a punch.

    Kauffman looked like a decent can out there. I don't know if he's going to be anything special but he looked good tonight against limited opposition.

    Don't know if he's anything more than a decent can though.

    Kauffman TKO 3 Farrell

    The whole 3rd round was a beat down. Kauffman was landing right hands, left hooks, upper cuts, body shots you name it. Farrell stopped on the ropes.

    Estrada-Abregu coming up right now.

    I'm pissed. I thought tonight was Holt-Torres III. Turns out instead it's just a mildly entertaining showbox card.

    1-0 Abregu.

    Abregu has some awful balance but was able to take the round on work rate.

    The translator guy sounds like he was just woken up.

    Abregu is awkward but he won both rounds clearly. He dominated the second.

    He certainly looks like a tough nut to crack. Half the time he looks like he's about to fall on his face, the other half he's landing clean effective punches. His KO record is really padded but he definitely has ENOUGH power to get by. Has been solid as both the counter puncher and the aggressor so far right now. Defensively I've seen some good and some bad. He's wide open for straight punches but covers up on the outside well. Estrada doesn't have enough power to really test the chin though.

    Abregu vs Quintana would probably be an intriguing little fight.

    Estrada has come alive in the 5th round as a lot of straight hands and uppercuts start landing and rocking Abregu.

    Abregu has a cut above his eye and Farhood speculates that it is REALLY bad.

    VERY nice little round. These guys don't have outstanding skill but they're bringing it now in the workrate department.

    4-1 Abregu.

    Estrada takes two rounds straight. 4-2 for Abregu right now.

    Some cracks are starting to show defensively for Abregu. Estrada's right hands just catch him repeatedly. Abregu shows good heart though and he's not backing down. Estrada looks to be tiring so lets see if Abregu adapts a body attack.

    This is a pretty entertaining fight. Too bad no one is watching.
