    I'm very hopeful that ESPN5 continues to stream full live cards like this in the future. Fun stuff. Great for Filipino boxing.

    Yeah, but that was the longest boxing event i have ever seen it was like 10 hours?

    Now that is dedication for the boxing nation.

    However there is room for improvements. Cut the cards down and get better fighters on the show.

    Passed out during the Enterina-Abdulhamid bout lol at least I’m able to rewatch the entirety of what I missed right now. This ended up being a 9 hour card? I’m almost glad I fell asleep when I did lol

    You made the right choice, man! After I saw how the judges robbed Abdulhamid I was so unmotivated to watch this card...

    This wrought havoc on my circadian rhythm. 72 hours later, I'm still all fucked up. Next time someone be a buddy and tell me "No. Bad IB, no. Just go to bed, set your alarm for quarter of 10am for the main event and hope for the best.." :sisi1

    Also the man Barriga just became mandatory for is defending against The Little Boy's countryman, the vastly stylistically different Vince Paras next Sunday, co-featured with Taguchi vs. Budler: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/hiroto-kyoguchi-vs-vince-asuncion-paras.607787/

    Nice we get a little preview of each in action within a week of each other before they hopefully square off later this year.

    Yeah, first bell rang at like quarter of 2am EST, last rang at quarter of noon. Mind you I was already drunk when I got home and ,more than ready to call it a night after the Lomachenko vs. Linares emotional rollercoaster & then poor Ali being gobbled up by Munguia.

    You should check out Barriga's performance, though. He looks honestly more like a prime (dwarfish Asian southpaw) version of PBF than any 2014-onward version of PBF did...

    I know, that's part of the reason I missed it, intentionally.:lol: Pinoy got me to do a thread on him a few months back, which I'd been meaning to get around to for almost a year, I slogged through a few of his matches, He's brilliant, not my cup of tea, and will be rooting 100% for Kyoguchi or Yamanaka when when share the ring with him, but he's special nonetheless.

    You’re not a Barriga supporter CST? Damn. I was hoping you’d join the party :/

    Yeah, I'd consider myself a supporter of Barriga's against anybody.... but Kyoguchi and Yamanaka.
