May 24th Showtime: Andrezj Fonfara vs Adonis Stevenson

Post by gilgamesh »

The undercard pre-show on Sho Extreme is starting at the top of the hour. I don't expect too much of a fight in the main event, but it is Boxing after all. You never know what to expect. I don't even know what's scheduled to be on the undercard.

Eleider Alvarez vs Alexander Johnson in the opener here.

So far Alvarez is winning very comfortably, he just scored a knockdown in the 5th.

I haven't been watching super close, but it's at least 4 rounds to 1 for Alvarez.

That's a shame regarding Alvarez. I thought he could of been a good opponent for Kovalev. Seems like he's jumped ship to showtime aswell. Im guessing the promoter has taken his whole stable over there?

1 round to go and Alvarez will be walking away with a clear cut Unanimous Decision. I can't imagine any of the official judges have given Johnson anything more than 2 rounds at best. He's lost clearly.

If Alvarez comes across ok, I wonder if they'll match him up with someone like shumenov next.

Williams is a real solid prospect right now. I don't think I've seen him before, but he looks particularly sharp.

2-0 Williams. The way it's going I expect a stoppage will be coming soon.

Williams finally got the stoppage in the 8th round. Medina showed a lot of heart to survive that long. He was getting his ass handed to him.

I look forward to his fight tonight. I think Lemieux vs Guerrero might steal the show as far as entertainment goes.

Jermell Charlo and Charlie Ohta about to fight. I don't know anything about Ohta, but he better be good because I know Charlo is.

1-0 Charlo.

To answer your question Lefty. Jermell seems to be the sharper boxer of the two while Jermall is the bigger puncher. They've both been impressive when I've seen them though. I can see both of them having great success in the sport.

Charlo wins this fight but he just does throw enough to
win world titles.
