    Interesting card tonight, to be telecast on DAZN.

    How do people think the main event will go? And what about some of these other interesting matchups on the card?

    Put the money on “Clorenzo “
    I don’t recognize the rest of the lot
    Are they mostly local Detroit talent?

    Looks like it - most of the undercard seems to pit local fighters against journeymen from elsewhere.

    I wasn’t planning to watch. Anything worth seeing?

    Other than Shields I don't recognize anyone. But, it's a boxing card. In my view that makes it worth watching!!

    The chief support, Ardeal Holmes Jr vs. Wendy Toussaint, is a far more interesting match than the main event.

    Thanks for that info. I assume you're putting up a round by round thread, then!

    I was frankly surprised this hadn't been more attention on this in advance. It's a good card!

    Yeah, I'll put one up in an hour or so. I'm not shocked that it's not getting much press, Shields was going to face Hannah Gabriels in a rematch, but Gabriels had Visa problems I think, so Cornejo is a late replacement.

    But isn't she supposed to be a top notch fighter? I read some article that she was the best female boxer without a belt.

    Cornejo? Nah, she's pretty average and feather fisted, but she's really hot. Which is just about the only thing she has going for her.

    Interesting card? Wow you’re easy to please. Main event is a complete waste of everyone’s time. One undercard fight is ok. The rest are buns.

    You're darn right I'm easy to please. Maybe it's because I grew up in the era of ESPN top rank boxing and USA Tuesday Night Fights where we had weekly cards alot like this. Boxing is boxing and the more I get to watch, the better!

    Hey, are the prelims being televised? Usually they start those around 7 pm, but I couldn't find it on the DAZN channel. Are they on YouTube?

    Just checked, nope... aside from the main and co-main, the rest of the card is quite weak. So I doubt they'll have one.
