Now, switching gears to focus on the REAL super-fight of the first week of May...

:conf Low representation in those weight divisions in much of the West and especially the US.

They are populated by mostly Asians, with the biggest minority being South & Central Americans, followed by Africans, then British, and finally Cubans. Boxers from the U.S., Canada, mainland Europe, and Oceania combined probably constitute less than 1% of the field south of lightweight.

 

No betting odds published yet. :huh

I guess there just won't be any betting lines on this. :conf

 

From Twitter:

Uchiyama-Jomthong will be on True4u in Thailand from 17:30-19:00. I think that's 6:30 am et.

 

So a 90 minute broadcast, 6:30am-8am EST. :think I'm guessing that is just the main event, meaning Taguchi vs. Kwanthai will be over by 6:30? That slot doesn't fit two championship fights if they go the distance.

In any event, having it all be over by 8am works out for me, because I have a 9:30am doctor's appointment.

 

Rewind 3 years and 4 months. IB, wearing his X-Ray Specs and seeing through all the hype, called that Uchiyama was better and would've flattened Broner @ 130lbs.

Shamelessly ducking Uchiyama is bar none the smartest thing Broner has ever done in his life. :deal

 

So it wasn't quite a super-fight, but still more entertaining than Mayweather vs. Pacquiao - though less competitive.

I voted Uchiyama on points in the poll but I knew there would be value on the Under and was gonna lay a bit down. :|
