FNF Fights / ShoBox thread

We have some good Puerto Rican prospects this weekend on ESPN and there are some upcoming wars on ShoBox.

PR prospect Kenny Galarza is going to be tested by Irving Garcia and i wouldnt be susprised to see him lose. Depite the record, Garcia is a warrior who has been through it all. He had his little war against an undefeated Carlos Abregu and came up just short so Galarza better come in tip top shape to beat this guy.

Corley has around 16 kids to feed at home which is why he's kept on fighting but it's pretty sad at this point that he's being used as a stepping stone. I see him getting knocked out early by THomas Dulorme..

ShoBox undercards have Ray Marquez/ Art Hovhannesyan which is bound to be a barnburner and Chris Avalos will be taking on Khabir Sulemanov.. If Marquez is what people think he is, he should overcome Hov to a victory. The fighter I'm looking for is Chris Avalos though who has a win over Abner Mares in the AMS.. He's an exciting fighter with a good offensive ability and I think he'll be too much for Khabir..

Which fights are you looking forward to?

This is coming on Saturday 1pm on ESPN UK watch it.

Can't miss it. There are alot of low profile fights this weekend but all of them are quality matchups..

No big deal, if someone else gets to it first that's cool.

It's just habit more than anything else. Honestly most of the time the fights on FNF are more quality than the PPV ones (last Friday was the exception).

If Killersheep wants to be in charge of these threads, I'm all for it.. Im sure he does a great job anyway..

Let's just make sure it gets done consistently..

Sad but true, the last PPV I bought was Pavlik vs Taylor II, and about a minute before the fight started my cable provider crapped out on me, I missed the entire fight, (which wasn't worth paying for) and I couldn't get a refund, because I watched the undercard...

Chris Avalos definately has a AM style. Not alot of variety, and I don't think he can hang with the more rugged types of fighter. SD kid beat him pretty easily. The fight was ruled a SD but that one judge was way off IMO.

I need a fix. Ring da bell

Oops, wrong thread.

okay then, anyone here for the fights?

Maui checking in! They are fighting two blocks from where I used to live in NYC!

The fact that Chop Chop is still fighting is kind of sad. As stated earlier he has 16 mouths to feed but if I am not mistaken 7 of those kids belonged to his deceased brother. Way to man up and try to keep a family together because I have custody of my nephew and he gives me HELL.......but I love him to death

A PERFECT step up fight for this kid.

Why is Chop Chop wearing a backpack?

I think Delorme is gonna struggle tonight, he relies too much on people walking into his shots.

Chop-Chop looks fifty, but he's going to be a test.

It looks like Delorme already figured out Chop Chop ain't going anywhere early and has backed off and gotten patient.

Close round. Delorme did some decent early work so I lean towardss the youngun.

I gave that one to chop chop. He's not doing anything that will wear down the young pup though, and he may pay dearly for that later.

10-9 Corley.

Nice little punch behind the head to end that round by the youngster, Chop Chop landed that left a couple of times

Delorme has that awful Berto stance. Legs too wide to move well, betting his power is enough.

Corley looks increasingly confident. Good right hand wins the round.

I have it even.

Delorme took that one with some great body work, he's eating pretty much every right hook Corley throws though.

19 all

body shots starting to hurt Corely

I'm just here for the free lemonaide. ;)

Corley gets decked..

Chop chop does well to survive after getting decked 10-8 for Delorme

29-27 Delorme

DeLorme ran out of time BUT

That effort to finsh was damned near perfect! Kept distance, thumped to the body, moved in an arc, variety of punches. Excellent, excellent work!

Agree. Wide, stiff a bit and almost look an after thought to get power off....and there she blooows. GREAT shot

He is open for that left hook just hope he doesnt fall in lust with one punch power

Ouch! Corley nedds to get off first and tie him up when he doesn't feel like punching because this guy looks like he can be frustrated. But standing in front of him is not cutting it

Good evening gentlemen.


I heard that I'm going to be getting me some Miguel tonight. :lickish:

Lets see if Corley can come back from the KD.

Good round for DeLorme. He looks awfully composed for a young guy.

Having said that? Chop Chop is still in this fight.

Greetings Diane. :) is Cotto the guest host tonight?

Gave that one to Corley, although I was distracted

38-37 Delorme

Why is Corley just standing there being a target, I know he is old but this is just annoying me

Chop Chop is crafty, don't count him out with this youngster.

I don't know if DeLorme has the right uppercut/right cross combo or not.

But if he does he should jab, close, and then throw the uppercut to the body and then the cross. Chop chop is really vulnerable but that's a high-end piece of skill.
