no thread for the cbs card yet???

So for the first time in god knows how long there is actually going to be a fight card on true non cable network television in the us. Do y'all think its going to lead to more boxing on free tv in the us, or this a one and done deal? Lsc is a fun fighter to watch throwing a bazillion punchesbut I'm just not sure that his opponent will make it exciting or competitive to get people talking about it. Also apparently we get to see a us olympian or two make their debut. I do think gbp should have potentially sacrificed some money and just put on a huge tripple header with some already estabished fighters on free tv to draw more viewers for the future. Hell a matchup like matthyse versus garcia or something as the main event,just feel like this is a half assed attempt, but wtf do I know might do massive ratings.

That is very nice. I grew up in the era of ABC's Wild World of sports. I hope it grows. I really like Santa Cruz. He's been on quite a roll. This will be his 5th of the year.

Just bumped one up, looks like an all in one.

this is good, CBS back it it!!!! Now if they toss in Clancy and Ryan we're set ;D

Oh yeah santa cruz has been crazy busy this year, I mean in this day and age of a champs/contenders fighting three times a year at best its nice to see this "kid" do it five times, twice in a month. Santa cruz isn't a bad choice to headline in itself, just not sure about the opponent they picked since it might turn out to be extremely one sided and borring and turn potential future viewers off. Would be nice tho if cbs would pick up some lesser cards in the future kind of like fox does with ufc...they say ufc is what's killing boxing in the us which I don't believe at all I think its just the shitty ass marketing of boxing in the us. I mean boxing seems to still be huge in places all around the world, and I'm sure it has something to do with putting fights on non premium channels.

How many fights are they showing? Just the Sana Cruz one?

Hopefully there's no double OT in the Indiana-Butler game.

Yeah I got a little welled up there.

Not a bad mobile in and out round for the challenger

Santa Cruz needs to close ranks and not be so wide....1-0 Guevara

This kid can fight. Don't like it but I have 2-0 Guevara. Santa Cruz not getting off early

third to Santa Cruz, he woke up, cut him off. He has to really hustle up though. 2-1 Guevara

This sucks . I love Santa Cruz but I Also love how Guevara has figured s Cruz out. Good lil fight so far

Santa Cruz looks a little flat

Santa Cruz is beginning to wear Guevara down.4th. 2-2

So no other fights prior? made it home for the fourth and apparently even fight so far

After 5th. 2-2-1 even.

3-2 Guevara. He is just over and under with solid volume. Santa Cruz is going to have to give up his head and war for it hard. He is finally on that body!

3-3

Just tuned in, the 6th round in progress:

At Los Angeles (CBS): Leo Santa Cruz vs. Alberto Guevara, 12 rounds, for Santa Cruz's IBF bantamweight title.

The fight looks competitive, i'm glad CBS is back doing fights.

They said if ends early they will show a debut, probally recorded

3-3 with Santa Cruz finally bringing the pain.....whats up with him shaking both of his hands, constantly?

Guevara is giving Santa Cruz all he can handle, but he seems to be wearing down a bit.

4-3 Santa Cruz

Big 7th round for lsc and guerva did more runnin than boxing that round. Also sorry if the dude is already throwing a shot and then you turn your back of the head to it that's your own dam fault

I remember Billy Irwin would constantly push his gloves on and at stupid times

Mmmm mmm Ms. round 9 ;D 5-3 Champion

Santa cruz either has an injured hand or a very bad nervous tic

6-3 Santa Cruz

Santa cruz's stamina is insane, few fighters throw as much let alone with the bad intentions that he does, and probably should take two or three months off after this one caise it certainly isn't easy

7-3 Santa Cruz but a closer round because Cruz went southpaw:confused:

That switching southpaw may have cost him that round, forced and awkward in 10th...7-3 Santa Cruz

Be very interested in hearing interview

8-3 Santa Cruz

Made no sense. He looked like he was protecting right hand ???

They're definitely using the prime time card girls haha

One of those exciting competitive semi one sided fights oxymornic but fits this I think

8-4 Santa Cruz.

Big props to Guevara

Helluva fight, quality return for CBS!

8-4 Santa Cruz, grew stronger as Guevara went into move and react. Like to see more of Guevara too...shifty lil style
