Wow, was 2005 Damn my memory is shot. Thought it was like 2011. Anyways, 2005 Mosely vs #2 IBF rated Chitowner 19-1 David Estrada when he was considered by MANY to be the goods at WW. Margarito defending vs an undefeated Cintron.....Kermy was considered the real deal by almost everybody. 24-0 Calvin Brock vs 2005 Jameel McCline who was rated top 10 by all 4 sanctioning bodies at the time and had just lost a razor thin decision vs Byrd for the IBF title. And 6-0 hot prospect Raul Martinez who went on to run like a 24-0 record before sending Donaire into superstardom. Great card for 20 bucks.:think
Geale vs Macklin will be exciting as ****. Also, NBC setting a new standard? LOL. So, because they had a couple fights turn out really well means all their fights will be exciting? Give me a break.
I actually would like to see this one. Might actually be a KO1 for Lemieux, cause despite Guerrero having slightly better skills he's pretty damn chinny. I also expect a close points win for Mack or even a late stoppage.
And I forgot that Im pretty sure they aired a previously recorded Wlad Klitschko comeback fight vs Eliseo Castillo for the #3 IBF ranking.:think
Damn bro......you aint thrilled by what NBC is doing?:-( I for one am absolutely f/n thrilled. While most of their fights have been on Digital Cable, NBCSports, more than a few have found their way to Network TV.....and that's HUGE for boxing. This is making Fox put on great cards like they did Thursday, and ESPN is following suit with their HW (paper) title fight. EPIX needs to get back into the mix and give us some Eastern Euro fight coverage. Maybe sign a 10 fight deal with K2 so Loeffler can get some of his lesser known prospects some much needed exposure.
