    Who wins this?
    I think Karma was weight drained vs Bunema. He had no energy and came in way below 154 from what I remember. Still, good job by Alex to close the show.

    McKart had the close win and then was stopped by Ornelas before the draw with Raul Marquez. Ornelas went on to fight a very close fight with Rubio which could have gone either way, but he did not get the nod.

    Karma has looked good vs James Obede Toney when he moved up to 160 finishing him off. The higher weight should serve him very well.

    I favor Karmazin in this fight. There are some good reasons for all of his losses (meaning besides he lost to a better man), I feel like he may have some very good performances left in him and clearly, he has to win this fight.

    Hopefully he isn't too big a favorite I think I want to bet on this fight.

    I want to go to the event. I went to there first event in the Warner Center, Marriott, and it was pretty good. The promoter is an awesome guy. I hope its a great event.

    The promoter used to train at wild card and knows freddie, so most of the good boxers that train at wild card are at his events. The guy your talking about is Dean " Irish lighting" Byrne, but I dont know for sure if Roach trained him.

    Karmazin should win this one, McKart seems to be getting too old at this point. This would be a good ESPN main event and probably put the winner in line to face a prospect for a decent payday.

    Contrary to popular opinion, McKart is not completely shot. He's a far cry from prime, but he's not shot. Karamazin is getting a little long in the tooth himself. I read that he was sick when he got sparked by Bunema. This sould be a good match-up. It is for the vacant NABF title at 160, so the winner will probably end up in a WBC eliminator. Bronco is an old favorite of mine, so I'll be pulling for him, but if he wins, I think he should decline a second fight with Pavlik.

    $100 for ringside. I'm considering it.

    I will root for Karmazin,one of my favourite fighters.

    I was shocked to watch him lose to Bunema.He is getting old.
    Not a young gun anymore! But neither is McKart.
    Karmazin should be able to beat him,but Roman seems to have lost his drive a little bit so that you never know for sure anymore.
    After the first 2 rounds we will know which way the cat jumps.I very much hope that Karmazin still has two or three good fights left in his tank before he runs out of gas.
