The ESPN card starts @ 9:00 PM ET tonight, and the SHOBOX card starts @ 11:00 PM ET or right after the ESPN card, so we'll get to see all the fights. (if I can stay awake)

Hey no little league/nascar/volleyball/cup stacking/spelling bee in the way. Should start on time!

Alrighty, here we go with the ESPN's FNF card, Teddy Atlas and Joe Tessitore calling the action from Montreal, Canada. First up - Eleider Alvarez vs. Rayco Saunders, 8 light heavyweights.

(check out those ring girls in Montreal)

A few Newcastle Brown Ales are on my menu tonight. :alcoholic:

Evening gents. Beer me! Nice action this weekend.

Yup, it must be a mistake, ESPN's normal scheduler may be sick this week. :-X

Just the benefit of a slow day in sports in North America.

Saunders in there to get flattened.

Good opener, Alvarez and Saunders look like they're both in shape, have some skills, and are ready to rumble.

Waiting for Alvarez to drop that there right hand. On a side note he resembles a hulked up Juan urango and Tito

Strange watching Saunders back up Alvarez when he wants to.

Looks like saunders gonna get ko'd

Not a very entertaining fight so far, i'd say Alvarez is winning most of the rounds by being busier.

Alvarez is playing along, waiting to me. I gave that one to Saunders, after I took it from Alvarez :-X

This is usually the kind of fight we get, when they're touting someone as a power puncher.

More intensity from Alvarez to start 5th. Good dictate.

Saunders shows up to not get hurt, go some rounds, lose as expected, and pick up the paycheck.

I honestly think if Saunders let his hands go more tonight he could have made this a real fight.
