I actually saw half of these fighters at the same venue about a year ago (Oliver, in his exposure at the hands of Rey Lopez - tomorrow he's fighting a guy with just over a .500 record in a blatant confidence rebuilder; Caminero, who looked like an absolute beast in person but has since lost in his first step-up against a live body in some 8-0 guy; Trader, who is pure boxing personified but not likely to be involved in an FOTY candidates; and scrawny tomatillo can Velazquez) - mostly local(ish) guys.

Since the night's most compelling TV fight - John-Juarez - was cancelled, and the Abraham-Oral match is neither uber compelling nor to be televised over here; I figure I'm not missing anything I can't watch clips of later (wasn't going to pay for the Lopez PPV anyway even though there are some good matchups).

Mighty Mike (who now goes by "The Machine" - ) makes for entertaining fights. He'll either blast this dude like he's supposed to or get KTFO in a third consecutive eye-poppingly humiliating upset.

Caminero, hopefully can bounce back from his single loss - a victory over Ayala would be huge for a guy who's 5 and 1 (though I suspect Eddie may have been brought in as "the opponent" here, since Elvin himself is a New Englander). I'd love to see him get some good training and work his way into contention. Fellow can bang.

Trader isn't exactly ramping it up against the 1-3 Javier Dennis but like I said, cat looks like what the sweet science is supposed to look like. I'm glad to get a front row seat to his development, even if surrounded by drunken Bostonians who are likely to boo this match. :yep

Anyone in the area want to buddy up for this?

 

I'm looking at Guru, sues2nd, Jenna...?

Represent, beantown! :twisted:

 

:twisted: Going once...going twice. My buddy's MIA and I'm not sure I want to spring $50 to fly solo...

 

Off I go :happy
