that was pretty gross.

Hopkins is in studio, wondering where hes been.

Eating! Am I the only one surprised he wants to go into the cruiserweight?!?

Tonight, and are fighting in an IBF title eliminator at Welterweight. In other words, the winner of this fight is likely going to fight Clottey in the future...or Miguel Cotto depending on the circumstances. Alvarez has already lost to Clottey, but it was a fairly close fight if the scorecards are correct. Rodriguez is coming off a KO win over Oscar Diaz and a draw against Issac Hlatshwayo. Might be a good fight, ones a right handed 6' tall fighter, the other is 5'7 and a southpaw.

On the undercard, 19 year old will be fighting 12-1 . I know nothing about these two guys, but the fights scheduled for 8 rounds so we'll soon find out. Krupp fights out of Catskills, while Serrano fights out of Philly. sounds promising.

Oh, and it turns out Demetrius Andrade is fighting on this card. Theyll probebly be showing his fight, since he looks like a promising fighter. Hes fighting Tom Joseph, who has 0 knockouts. Very dangerous opponent, eh? Theyre not playing around with Andrade, no sir.

Starts tonight at 9 on ESPN2!

That Clottey fight was not close, Alvarez wouldnt engage to save his life.

****!!!

****** ********* said the card started at 6, how did Andrade look besides MMA style kissing guys on the lips?

[mrpain81]

Damn these guys are Rock'em Sock'em robots.

ha, the peekaboo style does not fit Krupp whatsoever. both these guys are really raw, but theyre going after each other. which is fun to watch.

[Bhopreign]

Krupp just did a triple jump then threw a right hand.

[The Gambler1981]

An entertaining fight, but it is kind of crude and sloppy. Serrano is only 19 though so he could improve quite a bit, hopefully he can learn from this fight.

[mrpain81]

So how did Andrade look??

[The Gambler1981]

Like he was was leagues above the guy he was fighting. They said he was going to fight on ESPN again in a couple weeks, so this fight did not take to much out of him for that date.

So how did Andrade look??

I missed the fight myself, FNFs started early. his opponent was completely overmatched though, and Im reading it was a TKO due to too many shots landing.


these guys are landing some pretty big shots on each other.
