*Nice night of boxing Friday: Allan Green, Peterson brothers*

[OumaFan]

No idea why I threw two of these * in

Anyway Allan Green fights Rubin Williams on ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights at 8 central time Friday night.

Two hours later Shobox has Anthony Peterson fighting a late replacement Jose Antonio Izqueirdo (16-1, 13 KO's). Then Lamont Peterson fights Antonio Mesquita (34-0, 26 KO's.) Mesquita's record looks pretty good but I don't recognize much on his record except Santos Pakau, Mesquita stopped him in six right before Paul Williams did. Heard he's strong but a slow, plodding type.

Anyway, pretty solid night for a Friday. No Dominic Guinn!!

Yeah, very much looking forward to Green fighting, I'm a big fan of his, though he kind of acts like a prick. He'll knock Rubin out within 8 rounds is my prediction Hope he shows well, as I want to see him in the mix this year with some top guys.

[Sugar_Shaw]

I'm a big fan of Green too, and of Lamont. Anyone seen this Mesquita fight, is he like Victor Oganov, good record, mediocre fighter or can he fight a bit.

[OumaFan]

Williams seems solid enough I guess. Remember him doing allright against Lacy back when everybody was so high on Lacy.

Would expect Green to win but honestly never really know what Green's gonna do. The Miranda showing was a bit bizarre to me, what with the constant looking down at his shoes I've heard he was sick but why would that make you spend the whole fight looking down?

[OumaFan]

Then Malignaggi-Ngoudjo on Saturday

Anybody know if Showtime has an undercard for that?

Not too excited about that one but its better than nothing I guess.

Ye pretty cool for the first weekend of the year, hopefully this year will top last year be very hard but looking good so far.

That was bizarre, but maybe he has a foot fetish like Larry Merchant; another guy who always looks at his feet

I hate making or listening to excuses when a fighter loses, but if it is true that Green was having major rear-end problems I'll cut him some slack for the Miranda fight. From what I understand, if I remember correctly, he had like 3/4 of his colon removed But just like I said about Miranda and his making weight and sick excuses after Pavlik beat him, maybe Green shouldn't have fought Edison if his problems were so severe.

[No Contest]

Yeah they are showing Glen Johnson Vs. Hugo Pineda highlights only I think. Its should only go a few rounds anyway.

[Violent Demise]

Good seeing Green back in action. Looking forward to watching the Peterson brothers as well

Doubt anyone's seen him, pretty much an unknown.

I'm sure some people will be interested in this...

Brian Viloria returns to the ring Friday also his fight will be aired on Telefuturas: Solo Boxeo.
I'm thinking about going to this not sure yet...


VD it's gonna be at the Alemda Swap Meet.

[OumaFan]

I really need to get telefutura, thing is its not like I just have basic cable, I've got extra "tiers" and shit, I guess i'd have to upgrade it even more.

On the other hand I don't really care this week, Viloria fights usually put me to sleep anyway. Frustrating fighter.

[CutMeMick]

Alright...
I just got myself 2 Ringside tickets for this event...

$75 bucks...

I also noticed Vanes Marsityoan is scheduled to fight.
