Haven't kept up with the slate for the weekend except the big one tomorrow night. Who's got that fight tonight? FNF? Showbox?

TruTV, they've got a new deal going with Top Rank. I'm really glad that there's been an influx of reasonably interesting cards on basic cable

Yeah, it's gotten pretty crazy at this point. Must have missed it last week while I was gone but I just read earlier this week that Andre Ward is going to be fighting again and it's going to carried on BET because he's repped by Jay-Z and Roc Nation now. The more free boxing the better.

Wilder's next fight looks like Eric Molina, whose claim to fame is getting run over by the legendary Chris Arreola in under 3 minutes.

This weekend's HBO card has promise, also Figueroa/Burns on CBS in the afternoon, the undercard has some potential but not sure how much of the card will be shown.

Gotta say that a fight on free TV at 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon is pretty damn cool.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Both guys landing some good ones

 

[Toujours Pret]

Those 2 holding points are the difference on my card

 

[RetardedElf]

Anybody watching this saul-kirkland fight?

 

[NochNoch]

Yep

 

[RetardedElf]

I'm thinking Saul is going to knock him out

 

[RetardedElf]

I thought the Gomez-Soto was going to be a fun fight to watch until gomez came in too heavy

 

[NochNoch]

No clue against Kirkland, how the hell do you have any idea which James is going to show up.

 

[RetardedElf]

He's trying to get knocked out now

 

[RetardedElf]

If he can ride this out it's going to turn into a great fight

 

[NochNoch]

Thought he'd regained himself and had a chance to make it last 6 or 7 but he just couldn't ever mount any offense after the 1st minute of the fight.

 

[RetardedElf]

Saul just looked like the better fighter in all areas. I was hoping for a better fight but at least it ended quick enough to watch the end of the grizzlies game

Edit- kirkland needs to get back with wolfe and stay with her. It ends horribly when he trains with someone else

 

[Crew]

Kirkland caught every inch of that mule kick.

So Golovkin and Gonzalez on the same card on Saturday night? That sounds very promising.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Card on TruTV tonight

 

[Toujours Pret]

Gonzalez is a machine. Wow.

 

[NochNoch]

So Chocalito did his part. Wow!

Now it's GGG time.

 

[RetardedElf]

Was the first fight any count? I got caught up watching the iverson documentary and lost track of time

Didn't miss much from a fight perspective, Gonzalez was far superior, but he's still insanely fun to watch.

 

[RetardedElf]

No way this is going the distance or anywhere near it golovkin is already caught him clean quite a few times

Edit well didn't think it would have been this soon

 

[RetardedElf]

Monroe has got some fight in him
