    Correct.

    Two scheduled 10-rounders up first, and if one or both end early we can expect some :blabla to fill time.

    Is he any good or is he banking off his uncles name? I only saw a couple of rounds from this kid and remember not being impressed

    Gotcha. Thanks. Probably nowhere near the old man's in-ring abilities, mind you I haven't actually watched footage of this Sanchez II.

    What exactly does "gimmicky" mean, again? :think

    It's his uncle that was famous, first of all, not his dad.

    Second, he's hardly been banking off his name.

    True, he's nothing like the original Chava at all, but it isn't like he's JCC Jr. getting to headline PPV cards without having ever proven anything in the ring.

    He's a C+/B- fighter and he's been toiling away in relative obscurity for the most part, with virtually all of his televised appearances coming on small-scale programs on Spanish-language networks (Telefutura, Televisa, Cadena 3, etc) and hardly ever in the main event.

    Since his last defeat, he's earned his way toward a WBC Silver featherweight title shot by remaining undefeated in his next dozen bouts and maintaining a high ranking in the organization by acquiring & making several defenses of a less significant WBC title.

    Nothing was handed to him, because of a famous uncle.

    Other than having a similar haircut to his legendary relative (who died before he was even born) there is nothing gimmicky about him. He's a hard-working journeyman with some decent power and an iron chin but a slew of other liabilities that make him equal parts entertaining and unable to rise to another level (such as a lack of defense, and a tendency to eschew his pop through "spray and pray" tactics)...who just happens to have an ATG in the family.

    I like the new highlight reel for Showtime Championship boxing. Some excellent clips.

    I admit to not know much about Trout, and the 360 shows has lead for me to like the guy and against anybody else I'd really want him to win.

    BUT **** THAT!! Kick his muh ****in' ass Cotto!!!

    Damn Danny Jacobs is very active.
    They don't want to let him see Pirog again.
