Some fantastic news. There will be more boxing on the NBC Sports Network and there will be fights on the big free NBC channel. You know, the real NBC channel. So, boxing on free TV seems to be back. Hats off to NBC and Kathy Duva of Main Events for making the best possible fights. (Of course, the last card was a bit of a downer with that scrub fight in the middle of the heavyweight fights) Also, I find this news funny because I was told boxing was dead after the Bradley-Pacquiao fight...well, I guess not.

Pinoy and Malden, about the fightlist...

Aren't Chisora and Haye supposed to fight some time this month for the WWE Luxembourg Heavyweight title?!?
Or is it ignored as being a unsanctioned bout? :blood

Waiting for the odds

Wild! :shock:
Did you have Hope winning the 1st too IB?

edit: I saw you had the 1st a draw :yep

 

Yeah, Proksa tried and failed to make adjustments in the 2nd half last time so it's hard to imagine what else he'll be able to try. I don't think he got "exposed", nor do I think Hope is really good. GP just ran into a bad style for himself. I commend taking the rematch, but it wasn't necessarily wise.

 

7/5 – Monte Barrett vs. Shane Cameron – Barrett KO
7/6 – Javier Fortuna vs. Cristobal Cruz – Fortuna KO
7/7 – Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson – Wladimir KTFO !
7/7 – Lee Haskins vs. Stuart Hall – Haskins UD
7/7 – Gavin Rees vs. Derry Mathews – Rees UD
7/7 – Kerry Hope vs. Grzegorz Proksa – Hope MD WAR HOPE !!!
7/7 – Kell Brook vs. Carson Jones – Carson Jones KO :hey
7/7 – Kelly Pavlik vs. Will Rosinsky – Pavlik KO with a left hook
7/7 – Nonito Donaire vs. Jeffrey Mathebula – Donaire KO :conf Not too cofident in the KO.

 

Hope will fight better in the rematch but he did cut Proksa early and that seemed to affect Proksa.
Either way Hope isn't good and neither is Proksa.

 

Barrett TKO, will come back to make other picks later.

 

Barrett TKO
