The ESPN Friday Night Fights Thread.

Yeah big puncher by the looks of it if he can take Stevensons shots this could be a real tough fight.

Any time I seen Stevenson on a card I can't help but think about the time Boone stopped him.

 

I've never seen the Boone fight and can't find footage anywhere. Is this it? It's hard to tell if it's him or not

What times start tonight? Might try and stay up for it

 

I'm looking at Gonzales round 1,2 and 3 at 66/1 a piece. The guy has 13 kos in a role and he looks big and sturdy albeit a little slow on youtube. People with punchers records shouldnt be priced at 66/1 against somebody who got iced 4 fights back by a journeyman

Superman will likely win, as long as the rounds are all 3 minutes long I wont be too unhappy if it doesnt come off

 

That's not too bad actually. I'll join you :good

 

Always enjoy watching Boone I've probably seen him more times than a good few title holders he seems to always turn up on televised undercards. Always gives the prospects trouble as well. Have to say though he isn't noted for his punching ability so it stands out quite a bit on Stevenson's record.

Doesn't look like much of a card on ESPN tonight don't think I fancy the Shobox card either that usually starts as the sun comes up :tired

 

Baseball :sad2 Should be on soon.

 

Getting shown up for being late by my tv :twisted:

This guy sounds good going from his am career decent step up for his 8th fight as well.

 

Big Colombian guy lost to Jefferies at Beijing on the count back. He looks to have a bit of power against him will be interesting to see how he get to Saunders who is there to survive.

 

Aye just there to be awkward and get out. Alvarez looks quiet good but hard to tell against someone who has given him nothing to think about in defence. His jab looks good as well but again Saunders isn't really making an effort to avoid it.

Teddy must be expecting Saunders to do something in the next few rounds but I can't see it Alvarez still looks fresh.

 

**** stoppage

 

Canada must be importing brit refs

 

Poor stoppage but when youve covere dthe first 3 rounds you dont tend to care

 

Really is amazing how many ******s around the world seem to given authority to referee boxing. It isn't overly hard to apply a few very simple rules and make reasonable judgement calls on when to pull people out. Forgetting more subjective things like how to referee holding and certain questionable antics, doing the above as a bare minimum would make you better than a lot of refs in my eyes.

 

Lara-Hearns just starting.
