Kirk we've had a couple of fights getting cancelled so cant we add: 04/30 - Gilberto Keb Bass vs. Adrian Hernandez - WBC Light Flyweight title
Is it just me or is there an aura of optimism about boxing lately? Considering the start of last year it was all doom and gloom, it's really coming on strong. I mean the action heroes card last night didn't feature any p4p stars nor any current champions yet look at the plaudits it received. It was fantastic, the worst(don't like this word but ya know) fight was probably paulie vs jose and considering the feather fisted past best mature of the two, it was brilliant. I'm still gobsmacked at kirkland, was I the only one hoping he'd be the next andre bishop?
You're right it was an absolutely brilliant card. Even without one of those superstars. And the best thing about it was that it was critizised so much when announced. Paulie/Cotto may have been the "worst" fight, but imo that fight wasn't bad at all.. I must admit though that I've rarely cheered so much as when Ishida KO'd Kirkland. It's true that it's sad that we "lost" another of those supposed great prospects. But isn't that what makes boxing great?
Alrighty, Ill be starting on the updates..... Ive got to do some things in a bit so we will see how far I get but Im starting them now.
No featured fight Big, first one for the month will be this weekend. :good Ya it has been a crazy weekend of boxing David gets stopped as an overwhelming favorite Kirkland gets stopped as an overwhelming favorite Morales does immensly better then expected as a huge underdog. :good Looks damn good Oliver, I am really, really looking forward to that fight. I am somewhat a 'fan' of Yordan..... this is his next opportunity to really break into the bigtime, but he will have his hands full.... thats for sure. He is the big underdog, but Im hoping maybe some of the crazyness weve seen might transfer over to that fight and he can pull it off.
I agree it was brilliant and that says a lot about how good the card was. And yes it was heavily criticised but it shot the critics in the foot with the quality of fights.
