rumours that Bradley will now be fighting Marcos Maidana. thats a great fight. some good fights coming up Mitchell vs Katsidis stands out for me.
We should include FNFs because there are a few of those coming up! I'll start April 9 Audely Harrison-Michael Sprott, Darren Barker-Affif Belghecham April 23 Rendall Munroe-Victor Terrazas Can you believe Vasquez vs Marquez 4!!!! HOW OLD SCHOOL IS THAT!
:yep Plus the ESPN FNF 16 April Lee Purdy-Denton Vassell, Gary Woolcombe-Thomas McDonagh, Tony Thompson-Owen Beck 14 May Shinny Bayaar-Ashley Sexton, Herman Ngoudjo-Julio Diaz 21 May Ji Hoon Kim-Ameth Diaz, Ruslan Provodnikov, Frankie Figueroa May 28 Librado Andrade-Eric Lucas, Jesse Brinkley-Sakio Bika
Great stuff. Can't wait for Pavlik vs. Martinez, i maybe changing my pick for that one, but i'll elaborate later.
The sport ain't dieing, promoting the sport died long ago. Some great fights there, looking forward to many of them. How about some predictions on the entire lot? :yep
Berto UD Caballero UD (not really sure about this tbh) Martinez UD Bute TKO Not touching Kessler-Froch atm!!! Arreola TKO Angulo TKO Hasegawa UD Mayweather UD Huck TKO Williams UD (maybe late stoppage) Khan UD Ortiz TKO Wlod UD Still undecided on Mitchell-Katsidis!! Marquez UD Perez UD Don't know enough about Meehan and I think Chag is past his best now. Vitali TKO Foreman UD :think Sylvester UD Bradley TKO Ward TKO Chavez Jr UD :good
Great schedule, I can't see my going out on a Saturday night for quite a while (sad ******* I know!!).
Damn! Awesome schedule. I didn't realise just how many excellent fights we have coming up over the next couple of months.
