**** Kirks Championships 2014 ****

Molina has pulled out of the fight with Holt due to injury, The Puerto rican card featuring the Arroyo brothers has been postponed once again and Muriqui is fighting Blake Caparello instead of Erdei.

 

2014 is a shambles, barely two weeks in.

 

Thanks

Boxing a hard sell there it seems :think

I honestly can't remember the last time any international television outlet covered a boxing card in Belgium.

All their best pound for pound guys have been televised abroad - ie, Ermano Fegatilli in his Euro belt clashes with Foster in the UK and in both the De Vitis rematch and with Boschiero in his family's home of Italy...

Jamoye had two of his matches televised in the UK - go figure, in a pair of Euro title bouts with Englishmen - and his knockout loss to Leo Santa Cruz in Mexico was aired on Televisa, but otherwise his Belgian matches haven't been seen outside the venue, save for the last one versus Karim Guerfi, which got put up on a live internet stream provided by Fight-In-Spirit, who co-promote boxing and kickboxing events.

There must have been a EuroSport card there at some point, I just can't recall one.

Not even Bonsu vs. Bailey with a world title at stake (so among the biggest events there of the decade) was televised outside Belgium, where it was carried by ATV... who don't seem to be very heavily into boxing.

RTL has picked up Miskirtchian vs. Takoucht and will be streaming it three hours from now. :good

 

No blurb? It wasn't that boring. :nono (unless you listen to Atlas who seems to loathe Raheem..)

"Raheem showed his slick defense early and landed counters at will keeping Jargal shy for the first 6-7 but remained too negative to press for a stoppage and let Jargal into the fight late as he devolved into diving and clinching..."

 

I was only half awake. It was past 5am in the morning when I was typing that and I think it's already an achievement that I remembered to put up the result (and without any inexcusable errors). :bart

 

I enjoyed both parts of the fight.:conf

Raheem outboxed his foe is slick, and fairly aesthetically pleasing fashion, and when Jargal came back the fight was still fought at a pretty decent clip. A bit choppy, but I've watched far contests.
