Couple of interesting fights!

Post by TheGingerBomber »

Made at cruiserweight today! Opposite sides of the, but both very interesting...

Andrew Tabiti vs Steve Cunningham on the freak show card, and Askin vs Simmons over here on allegedly in the coming months.

What's people's take on those fights? Cruiserweight aside from that magnificent tournament is lighting up further I feel, sure there was another smashing cruiserweight fight announced a few weeks back.

Yep, both of these fights show the depth of interesting matches that get made at the weight.

I think the timing may be right for Tabiti. He is also a strong guy who can punch a bit, and Cunningham has been down loads of times. I'd think on Askin's recent form he should deal with Simmons, but it seems like he can be hot and cold.

You knew Floyd would have a good undercard. That domestic fight is a good one. What card is that on?

The Undercard was all I watched when he fought Berto

Having vowed to have nothing to do with the Mayweather-McGregor circus I now find myself tempted to buy the PPV on the basis of a solid undercard. I think Jack beats Cleverly on boxing ability but there's always an element of doubt when fighters move weight class. Davis v Martinez is a classic emerging talent likely to hasten retirement of former star and Shawn Porter is always worth watching.

Davis is fighting a Costa Rican guy now...I had forgotten all about Porter being on the undercard.

I like what Porter does but I've never been a fan of his stuff! He's a good watch but not for me man! x

Glad it's on allegedly, sometimes these events fly under the radar.

It had Groves v Jack and Martinez v Salido in a rematch.

I'll watch Cleverly v Jack on YouTube in the morning and possibly Tabiti v Cunningham if I hear it is a good fight.

I was on holiday at Disneyworld and went to the cinema to watch it. Enjoyed the undercard, then two rounds in to the main event, thought, "fornicate this" and went back to my hotel.

Do not give into temptation my son.
Deliver thy self unto the internet.
For there thee shall see the undercard without giving thoust hard earned sovereigns to the devil
