Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Most of the boxing action this weekend's gonna be on DAZN, with GGG fighting tonight and Canelo fighting tomorrow night.
But for those of us without DAZN, there's gonna a pretty good boxing card Saturday night on Showtime.
Title fight: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs. Reymart Gaballo, 12 rounds, for the vacant WBC interim bantamweight title
Jaron Ennis vs. Chris Van Heerden, 12 rounds, welterweights
Antonio Russell vs. Juan Carlos Payano, 10 rounds, bantamweights
Brandun Lee vs. Dakota Linger, 10 rounds, junior welterweights

I’m excited to see how Ennis does. The issue with the main event was that I was very interested in Donaire vs Ouballi. One Ouballi dropped out, I was interested in seeing Donaire vs Rodriguez. Now the main even completely changed and I’m not too excited. I’ll for sure watch, but it’s just not the fight I was hoping for

Absolutely. An undefeated Filipino fighter who can bang. Should be a good main event. The rest of the card doesn't look bad either.

Well I think the main event they ended up with is every bit as good as the main event that was. I'm excited to see Manny back in the ring.

This should be a pretty solid card I think Ennis is the real deal. looking forward to it. Tonight is pretty much the last live cards Stateside for a crap 2020. All in all you have to appreciate how different networks clawed back into big and not so big live fights for fans over last half of the year.

Yeah... looks like a solid card. And yes... I'm very appreciative of the networks' efforts to maintain fan interest with the different fights they've televised. Still one of the last DAZN holdouts... so of course I won't be seeing the Canelo fight but of course I'm looking forward to Manny's.

Gary Antonio Russell vs. Juan Carlos Payano coming up first. Hoping for three excellent fights. ;D

I’ve never seen this Russell fight. I don’t know how good he is.
They just said that his 26 year old brother suddenly died 9 days ago so that could definitely affect him. Payano is a solid and crafty fighter so we will see

Spirited 1st round. Both are southpaws. I think Russell's reach and good jab gave him the edge in Round 1.

Re: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Payano's overhand left is a bit slow and misses the mark most of the time. Lots of clinches and potential clashing of heads. Russell's round again, I feel.

Re: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Payano with the ballerina toe dip to slip the punch. That was interesting :-X. Real rough and tumble fight this early.

Re: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Now it just became a clinch fest. I gave the round to Payano... but it wasn't pretty and was fairly close. 2-1 Russell

Re: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Clinch fest continues. The ref is busy... but he needs to be a LOT busier. I gave this round to Payano also although I feel like I'm judging a wrestling competition.

Re: Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Reymart Gaballo, Dec 19, on Showtime
Lots of mauling. Refs looking in only one direction after he lets it go for a bit. Solid 4th Payano minus the Greg The Hammer Valentine headlock.
