Iiiiiiiiit's SHOWTIME!

 

Four matches on tap, with seven undefeated boxers.

 

Coming up:

Maurice Hooker vs. Abel Ramos, 8 rounds @ welterweight

Antoine Douglas vs. Marquis Davis, 8 rounds @ middleweight

John Thompson vs. Frank Galarza, 8 rounds @ light middleweight

Ivan Redkach vs. Tony Luis, 10 rounds @ lightweight

 

This is the premiere of season 13 of ShoBox: The New Generation.

There have been over 200 episodes.

Barry Tompkins introduces Steve Farhood as "the man who saw every round, with a headset on...", making palpable Nick Charles' absence. He is missed.

 

Rojo Kachito.

 

Farhood in his keys to victory made a very roundabout elaborate workaround to dropping the "Ramos should perhaps not hook with a Hooker " gag, of which he is obviously quite proud.

 

Maurice "Mighty Mo" Hooker has more experience and a higher KO percentage...but Abel Ramos has fought more unbeaten opponents...and he knocked out Cassius Clay! :shock:

 

Hooker was drinking a Starbucks white chocolate mocha a couple of hours before the weigh-in, says Farhood.

Why Farhood said that, I don't know. That is a lot of detail. I suppose at least he stopped short of describing whether his bowel movement was correspondingly foamy when he surreptitiously entered the public mens room stall Hooker had just left unflushed later that evening.
