Joachim Alcine will be making the first defence of his title against WBA #14 Alfonso Mosquera in front of a home crowd on Friday. Montreal boxing fans also have a chance to see top10 supper middleweight Jean Pascal showcase his skills against Brian Norman and supper middleweight hopeful Adonis Stevenson attempt to win the Canadian Super Middleweight title against David Whittom Over 12,000 tickets have already been sold. The fight card will be broadcast LIVE Friday night at 9:30O in Quebec on Radio-Canada and Nationwide the following day on CBC at 3:30 EST :bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb :happy For those of you who don't know Alcine he's the one who beat Travis Simms in his own back yard in July.
But not a competitive one. Alcine's jab alone should win him the match, Pascal and Stevenson should KO their respective opponents, Norman and Whittom, inside 4 rounds.
Just over a month ago Bute sold 13 000 tickets for his fight against Berrio with a crappy undercard. Boxing is alive and well in Montreal. There are decent boxing cards once or twice a month.
