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.
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
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.
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
Byrd looks like he smoked a gang of crack
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
We got Briggs commentating with Brian Kenny? Then Tarver in studio...ehhh it could be a long night.
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
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
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
I like Shannon Briggs better than Lennox Lewis as a talker already
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
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:
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
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
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
Provoonikov got some skill. I'm a keep an eye on him
Re: Friday Night Fights Buffet
Provoonikov is bleeding. But I like the way he digs to the body
