    its tough to do

    and it is good especially when you see it one way and others are seeing something way different

    like in a clash of styles kind of fight

    like Calzaghe vs Hopkins

    or Herrrera vs Provodnikov

    or Froch vs Dirrel

    Yeah, Franky definitely caught my attention. :good

    His record actually isn't as bad as it first seems, either. Of his three stoppage losses: one was due to a dislocated jaw early in his career (ouch...), another was later "avenged" in a rematch by fighting to a draw with Giovanni Caro (who has himself eked out a solid career as a high-level journeyman capable of springing an odd upset), and the third was to Celestino Caballero. A narrow majority decision loss to Joksan Hernandez isn't a shameful result, either.

    This was easily his biggest win to date, though. Well earned. :deal

    Def. felt like the Fox team was "expecting" Marroquin to win this fight. At the end both announcers said they had it a draw..:!:

    :lol:

    Can anyone tell how Korobov looked? I saw on boxrec he won UD6 over Marcos Primera (20-24-2), why the hell they changed the format, it was supposed to be 10 rds fight.

    They did not show Korobov. :-(

    Zbikowski's 4 rounder was deemed worthy of air time, but not Korobov's 6 rounder. A circus act over a legitimate prospect. :roll:

    :lol::rofl:lol:

    Are you still sure you hadnt drunk too much??

    They did have an unusual graphic goin' for the round marker....it would show the round, then roll over to a 10 to show how many, then back again. I could see how that could have happened...:lol::good

    I have comcast too. Mine was on Fox Sports Ohio.

    Wonder when that legitimate prospect is going to have a legitimate fight. He's nearly 29 and his best win is Michael Walker. Arum clearly sees little marketability in him. I'd love to see him fight Guerrero for the NABF title.

    :DNow you're making me wonder..

    I've got cox cable "Virginia Beach" but it was playing on comcast network. I'm gonna have to check the DVR. I know the fight was already on about a 30 minute delay from regular comcast coming through to Cox cable.. **** I need a drink..:good

    Thank you. Zbikovski IMO pseudo prospect and going to lose as soon as he steps up, but for some reason Bob Arum investing huge money in him: translating his fights, hype in press, Steward as trainer and Ariza as nutritionist. I guess he is really popular in States as football player. And Korobov, I guess something is going wrong with him in sparrings, when he boxed in amateurs he boxed more like profi boxer, but he hasn't progressed since then. Fight with Primera could make sense if it was 10 ronder but 6 rounds don't make sense at all, it's more like step back than stay-busy fight.
