    Indeed. You also have Tyspko-Andrade and Holt-Bradley on Showtime.

    On a real note you have two action packed fights guaranteed (Valero may be many things but boring isn't one of them, Katsidis is impervious to boredom if his hand doesn't break). I think Escobedo is going to blow up tonight and wipe out El Famoso and you've got the bounceback return of a fun to watch Julio Diaz. All sorts of fun stuff tonight.


    I do think it's sort of funny how on a GBP produced PPV, The fighter who gains the most is a Top Rank fighter (Valero).

    In the event he wins.

    Valero is inexperienced, has not been fighting great competition, and is up against a fighter who can take him out with one shot. This is not a given, I just feel he is the fresher, more skilled fighter, and wants it a little more.

    Best card of the year, potentially. By far.

    Certainly but I think Pitalua may not be shot but is far past it and the younger more active fighter will take it. Don't forget Pitalua isn't exactly fighting amazing competition either really. Outside of Senior Santa Cruz, He fought guys were 0-1, 1-4 and 22-19 on his 14 fight KO win streak.

    I'll be doing it. Chances are I'll be the ONLY one doing it but that works for me.

    I'm watching the under card of Lightweight Lightning on shitty stream, potentially good stream, then watching the main event of Badley/Holt on my TV.

    Showtime boxing starts at 11 PM so chances are by the time Holt/Bradley starts, Lightweight Lightning would be cooked.

    Diaz and Escobedo should win in what looks like one sided fights.

    I think Chavez and Pitula both pull the upset though.

    But I also thought Estrada would win too :oops:
