ESPN2 Saturday, August 28th: Lemieux-Rubio off (injury), now Lowther vs. Lundy.

It sounds like it's not happening next week but that doesn't mean it couldn't down the line.

Rubio just stopped Zertuche for the second time last night (TKO6) for the WBC Latino championship so he's still in contention.

Does anybody know who is on the ESPN card? :huh

 

The main event is now a lightweight ten-rounder between 14-1 (10) Omri Lowther and 27-6-2 (15) Edner Cherry.

Everybody has seen Cherry before, but Lowther - who just last month shook off the rust of his second longest layoff - hasn't appeared in a major televised event since the ShoBox back in 2007 wherein TJ Wilson handed Travis Walker his first loss.

Here's a look at the Toronto-born 26 year old.

The following is incorrectly labeled "Omri's 7th match". His seventh pro match was against Ballard, above - and this is clearly a different fight. This is actually his 9th match, against Eric Burke.

:readthre:

It's been said many times that Lemieux was injured, dude. :yep

 

Cherry has pulled out; Lowther will now face "Hammerin Hank" Lundy (who recently got stopped by John Molina while ahead on the cards).
