Thread: Fnf 1/8/10

Alright I want to get this thread early, I'm excited for this to start. Been missing the Atlas "Hack" for a while now.

Tonight at the Civic Auditorium in sunny Glendale, California

Middleweights
Roman Karmazin 39-3-1 (25 KOs) vs. Dionisio Miranda 20-4-2 (18 KOs)

This is an IBF eliminator fight.


Karmazin is trying to work his way back up to top class in the Middle weight division, this is his fourth climb, this time he is trying to work his way back up from a devastating stoppage by Alex Bunema 24 months ago. Karmazin was boxing his way to a fairly wide decision when he got caught. Since then he has amassed three victories all coming from journeymen, pressing their luck in the senior league.


Miranda is in lock-step with the expected kill or be killed Columbian/ESPN connection, and has been a mainstay in the opponent category for ESPN. His only win of note was against Sebastien Demers on FNF 24 months ago both guys took the fight on short notice and it would have been a draw had Miranda not dropped Demers in the ninth round.

My take: Karmazin has been hurt before but I don't know the Miranda will be able to utilize the opportunity. I think Karmazin will hit the canvas once, but should be ahead for most of the rest of the fight. I'll take Karmazin UD.

Miranda to hurt him late on after being behind and to stop Karmazin Rd9 TKO

t minus one hour, til the fights, anyone else in the crew on?

Okay, I hope my boys are here for this blessed event.

"I am as happy as a little girrrrrrrrrrrrrl."

I hate TSN. There are two channels (TSN, TSN 2), both owned by ESPN and neither are showing the card.

Cool, motherfuckers are breaking concrete with their elbows on ESPN right now. Reminds me of Street Fighter.

Ok, this karate weapon-dancing bullshit is lame.

I'm stumbling through the door like the over excited and rowdy Kool-Aid guy for this debut .....cheers people....now get to hacking TEDDY!!

Here we go.

I am an unabashed Teddy Atlas fan. He might well be my favorite commentator in all of boxing.

I had some Tecate for the first time last time I went down to Seattle. For something that cost me under $2 for a 710ml (I think) can, it wasn't bad. Of course I was drinking it around 4am after a Pogues concert, so I was already pretty much blind drunk.

And we're back, can't wait for the fight plan.

I love the way Atlas is openly critical of the quality of the cards when it is warranted (meaning blatantly apparent).

Do you guys want me to sticky this thread?

Holy hellz.....Lionel Butler ?? Hope they show his Tubbs KO ......funny Burger boy Rafael...yuk yuk yuk

Did he really say that they are planning on putting Margarito on the Pac/Clottey undercard?
