Oops, looks like he already fought tonight. Stay off Boxrec if you want to avoid spoilers in case they show highlights on ESPN2.

 

What is with this weird thread merge? :huh Two completely different fight cards, not the same topic at all.

Please un-merge (or just delete the Loufatski thread, as there is not going to be a RBR for Chambers-Rossy since it's not being aired).

 

It's all good in the hood. :yep

The first page is a little confusing to look at now, but we'll live. If it's a pain in the ass to separate them back out, don't worry about it. :good

 

FNF will be starting a little late due to live high school basketball running late on ESPN2. (Oak Hill Virginia vs. Christ School of North Carolina...currently 1:42 to go in the 4th quarter...)

 

Well, it should be somewhat close (like within an hour...)

It has to be over by about 10:45, because Showtime's card starts at 11.

 

It is time for boxing! :bbb


Stevie 2lb Forbes is walking out to the ring.

 

Forbes is representing with a Kronk shirt.

IB funfact: Forbes trained with UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre while in Montreal preparing for tonight.

 

Round 1

Forbes puts his left jab out and keeps snapping it like a wet towel, not letting Dan get anywhere near him without having to pass it by. Dan, who looks MUCH bigger, circles slowly and takes short little hops forward on his toes with his body turned sideways, swatting with some hesitant right hooks. Forbes starts coming with the right cross to the body behind his quick jab. Dan is trying to get his right jab going but Forbes is too mobile. Dan digs a straight left to the gut. Forbes is double jabbing and getting up close. They almost clinch a couple of times but punch their way out, like a couple of cats waving their claws and reflexively pulling their heads away. Dan is lazy with his right jab while he circles to his right. He times a nice counter left cross to the face over a Forbes jab. Forbes plants a couple of left jabs on the end of Dan's nose.

Slow opener.
