LOL ickkyyyyyyyyy IB, you know your ****, who ya got for the night in the Judah, Alvarez, and Broner fights?
Jameel McCline is interviewing Tomasz Adamek. This is priceless. McCline first praises Adamek for his improved English and then asks him a very complex and roundabout question (basically about how he likes fighting in America and what he thinks of his reception and being considered a top heavyweight). Adamek gives a stock answer about him and his family being happy. McCline then asks about their mutual trainer Roger Bloodsworth. Adamek gives a stock answer about Bloodsworth being good. Adamek is then asked where a Klitschko fight will happen assuming he beats McBride. He insists it will be in Poland.
Amateur broadcasting at its finest. Big time is the best announcer of the bunch Pretty packed house tho
Alvarez is going to mangle Hatton. I'm pretty firm on the under there. Judah-Mabuza is tougher. Judah is the better boxer and the bigger puncher, but Mabuza could just be all wrong for him right now in terms of his size and pressure. My prohibitive pick is Judah by decision or late stoppage, but if he is bothered and hurt by Mabuza early it won't surprise me too much..and once that happens he needs to put the pedal to the medal or he'll wind up crashed in a ditch. Broner looks very skilled, and this fight tonight will depend entirely on where his young head is at this stage. If he can cope with a powerful veteran like Ponce breathing down his neck, he has all the tools to use this as a springboard to big things. I could see him both outboxing DPDL or even catching him with a textbook pull counter and putting him out. If he gets blinded by the bright lights and is overwhelmed by the moment, DPDL will overwhelm him with Raramuri fury.
Just a reminder, Humberto Soto is coming on in a few minutes on Fox Deportes. I'm going to set the DVR and check it out after the HBO card.
