Friday Night Fights Buffet (Let's Talk Here) + Chris Byrd Talk!!

Just walked in the door and wanted to ring the bell.Two decent cards will overlap with Telefutura and ESPN Fnf's going tonight.

Telefutura just kicked off with Featherweight Antonio Escalante 16-2 (10) taking on David Martinez 18-3-1 (3) in a fast paced give and take.Escalante really put his punches together and dictated the terms early with good body work and a forward approach.He dropped Martinez to a knee with some body digs in the 3rd and Martinez heard the count and rose at the count of 7 seemingly ready to continue.Non the less Ref.Raul Caiz waived it off with Martinez protesting.

Main event should be nice with Jhonny Gonzalez 37-6 (31) looking to use Former Champion Mauricio Pastrana 34-8-2 (22) as a spring board to his Featherweight future .Pastrana is a bit past it but still can pull off a suprise or two...See above prospect Escalera whom Pastrana Flattened for a KO win in there match up last year.Should be so;id while this one last's.

Right now Bantamweight Michael Franco 10-0 (7) is handing some poor fella his arse early on .....whoops its over after two KD's I believe in the 2nd....missed most of it.Body shots put opponent down after some sizzeling hooks early.Sporting yet another mohawk...who said punk was dead Lol.

Feel free to jump in as this one is leading to the return of reconstucted Chris Byrd as he takes on Shoun George At LT.Heavyweight on ESPN...should be very interesting.Will require some channel flicking but nothing new............Brew Inbound Hehe :drunks: Very looong week

Can Chris Byrd win a title at this weight.....will anyone want/need to fight him??

I think Byrd could go ok at LHW. Dam he must have lost some weight tho. 211 last time out! He may actually have some power at 175 and he has a decent chin so could be a challenger at the weight.

Wow,They just replayed Pastrana's last round plastering of Escalera....Indeed face first stunner.Very cagey Is El Pintoso...( I wish I spoke spanish).Always has faced some very solid Fighters...Have some very bad memeories of Him busting up my Bwoy Michael Carbajal to capture the IBF Flyweight title when the sun was setting on Carbajal in 97'.Gonzalez had better be on point and put His visions of Luevano,Linares and company aside for now.

Byrd looks like he smoked a gang of crack

We got Briggs commentating with Brian Kenny? Then Tarver in studio...ehhh it could be a long night.

Ohhh jeezus,Shannon Briggs doing blow by blow on ESPN :dunce: I really hate flicking around.Gonna watch Telefutura main event then catch Byrd main event

I like Shannon Briggs better than Lennox Lewis as a talker already

I unfortunately don't get Telefutura in bumfuk Ohio. :mad:

But that's okay, I'll watch FNF with my boys, and be happy as a clam. :happy0931sb4:

This is a good fight so far, Provonikov is breaking him down a bit I think.

No doubt...so what we get to listen to his pipe dream hype about Match with Dawson?? Is that happening? I'd prefere Tarver in a ten rounder with a swinging sack of steel weights :fight:

Intros ,Pastrana looks real ...Dry/cold ??Don't blink...."Mass MAcho" :biglaugh:Pastrana is all balls....Jhonny looks like a frigging Lightweight

Provoonikov got some skill. I'm a keep an eye on him

Provoonikov is bleeding. But I like the way he digs to the body

Provo ko in the 6th

Round 1
The reach on Jhonny is freakish.Pastrana out working jab,walking forward.Left/right miss from Pastrana.Jhonny just waiting...A little too much.Pastrana body shot.Jabs from Jhonny..Pastarna lands Right and Jhonny is pushed to canvas.3 jabs from Jhonny,Pastrana matching him.two weak body shots Pastrana.A timing round for Jhonny....I gave it to Pastrana.OHH lord you have to love This channel.Always showing Ring card girl....Dammn

Damn I thought I was white! Provonikov has me beat!!

And when your that white, wearing such short trunks, isn't very flattering.

I agree, he goes to the body well.

Good fight!! Provodnikov looks like Corky from "Life Goes On":D Nice corpse texture to his skin;D

Round 2

Jhonny feining and Pastrana reacting.more activity from Jhonny,coming forward.Pastrana throws hard right misses.Can not match Jhonny,Jab is gone for now fron Pastrana.Hard left to ribs from Jhonny..another...another.He opens up on ropes with combos and Pastrana does a wilting bob & weave.Much more pressure from Jhonny and Pastrana has very little in the way of answers.Round Gonzalez

Round 3

Pastrana comes out with vigor,hard shots.Jad & right from Pastrana.Wide left hook miss from Jhonny.Upperhook miss from Pastrana.More jabs from Pastrana,hard counter from jhonny.Pastrana move out and away.Nice One /two from Pastrana backs Jhonny off.Exchange to end it BIG TIME.Pastrana lands hard left and short right,Jhonny answers in kind with right/2 hooks...backs Pastrana off,Hint of a wobble ?

Doh Gordon proves me wrong I didnt think he make the distance....

Good fight. Pov has some skills.

Damn good fight. 2 tough guys. Provodnikov needs to learn to use a jab:p

Gordon looks good, but seemed to gas out pretty quickly.

I always thought Lewis was a weak commentator to be honest.

Round 4

Honestly...I hope this does not go distance Lol.Jhonny lands right and backs Pastrana.need a corona.Pastrana comes in behind ugly right.Straight right from Jhonny.Jabs hard from Jhonny,pastrana soft right...Jhonny burst's open with nice combo and scores The KD with two big uppercuts WOW,Pastarna stammers up on jelly legs.Trapped in corner Jhonny moves in with hook...Ref steps in and stops it at 2:32 of 4th with Pastrana huffing and puffing..( idea :biglaugh:)..Crowd chants "Mee-hee-co"Solid uppercuts from Gonzalez......Get this man to Featherweight ASAP ,Over to ESPN and Byrds Rebirth

Oh God!!! Spare us with Tarver, and the Balboa crap!!! :shotgun5lu8:

Looking forward to seeing Byrd.

Why in the hell are they showing the 'highlights" from Tarvers Rocky trek.I just can not listen to this Clown.BACK TO BOXING TARVER.....asking about his acting ??? He's great at it..in the ring:shakehead:

Tarver to Woods face "you a hand-picked opponent." I thought that shitt was hilarious.
