ESPN and Showtime FNF thread for April 27th

Montes has two left legs in there. Like a new born gazelle.

I'd bet money on seeing fireworks in Dawson-Hopkins before its over.

They seem to hate each other, if the much younger Dawson fights up to his potential, and keeps the pressure on the old man he should win a decision, especially if he can score a KD or two.

Given time, B-Hop can break BCD down, Dawson just doesn't throw enough punches.

Did Cotto shave half his face?

Its really a great study in the two...Hopkins has been quite compared to past and every time Dawson does an interview it begins with complaining, ranting followed by him saying he doesn't dwell on things etc ?!

If Dawson dreams of winning he'll have to finally escape the word "IF". I think Hopkins is already timing the rounds on him..

Yeah, that's his biggest flaw, he's lazy, if he expects to beat Hop he'd better fight 3 minutes of every round, or Hop will steal a decision.

Here we go with ESPN's main event = Ismayl Sillakh vs. Denis Grachev.

[Mars_ax]

This looks like a mismatch.

[Rantcatrat]

Feeling out round

[Spicoli]

Right off the bat the terms...stiff and stand-up come to mind. He might just turn into a heavy bag before we know it

Sillakh has fun in there, he's loose and easy flowing.

[Spicoli]

Sillakh reminds me of Campillo. Big time. Have to love thinkers with range

Teddy hack, ol' school style at 10:16 pm

Denis Grachev knocked down in the 3rd, he's just too small, too slow and he's coming in wide open. I can't see this fight going more then a few more rounds.

[Mars_ax]

One of the undercard fights is being shown on SHOBOX, as soon as Sillakh vs. Grachev is over, i'll be switching over to Showtime.

[killersheep]

Holy crap,.................that just happened.

[Mars_ax]

Can you believe that shit? Grachev knocks Sillakh out in the 8th round... lmfao.

[Rantcatrat]

Holy Crap!!!!!!!

[Rantcatrat]

That was a monster upset. This and the Wongjongkam Sonny Boy Jaros are the biggest of the year, yes?
