This weekends Fights

[killersheep]

Got a few goodies on this weekend.


Kessler 42-1 (32 KOs) vs. Ward 20-0 (13 KOs)
Super Middleweight WBA Super Duper title.
More important than the title is this is last fight of the first
round of the Super Six tournament. With all the accollades
Ward recieved as an amatuer he is getting very little support
to get a win against the tournament co-favorite Mikkel Kessler



Sonsona 14-0 (12 KOs) vs. Hernandez 22-7-1 (11 KOs)
Super Flyweight WBO title.
Sonsona is quick out of the gate for his first title defense.
Just two and half months ago he threw everything he had
at Lopez who had his moment but couldn't keep up with
the youth and wicked powerful Sonsona. Hernandez is
obviously here as filler (a role he has over the last few
years played) but it will be good to see if Sonsona learned
anything from not being able to finish Lopez.



Maidana 26-1 (25 KOs) vs. Gonzalez 22-5-1 (7 KOs)
Light Welterweight WBA World Interim blah blah blah
Yes the exciting explosive Maidana gets back into the ring
after his great upset win over Ortiz back in June. Gonzalez
has been on shakey legs lately while Maidana has looked
hittable but very durable. I always look forward to Maidana
fighting he does nothing but floor it, every minute, every round.



Fragomeni 26-1-1 (10 KOs) vs. Erdei 30-0 (17 KOs)
Cruiserweight WBC title
A must stream card for those outside of Germany and Hungary.
Both guys are taking a step up in class maybe a little late as
these guys aren't exactly spring chickens at 40 and 35 respectively
there is little doubt that they will need to push one another to
their limits to get the nod in this fight. A stoppage win is extremely
unlikely but a good boxing match should be in store.



Segura 21-1-1 (17 KOs) vs. Jaro 30-7-5 (19 KOs)
Light Flyweight WBA title
Segura has one of the most awkward styles in modern boxing.
Obscene waist movement and hooks from the abyss he should
be a nightmare for the 5'2" Sonny Boy Jaro. Jaro is definately
not to be taken lightly as he was able to send Edgar Sosa to
the canvas in their bout and given an opportunity to unload he
will take it.

Thoughts?

I have absolutely no idea who's going to win the Kessler - Ward fight. Kessler should win it, but he's been in with very soft opposition since the Calzaghe fight and Ward is coming of an impressive performance against Miranda. I really think we could see an upset here.

[CutMeMick]

Shit...
Thanks for the heads up did not know all these we're taking place.

I'll take:
Kess
Sonsona
Maidana
Erdei
Segura

[killersheep]

Oh yeah and Edgar Sosa is fighting Rodel Mayol
also La Hiena is back in action against Michael Lozada (I haven't seen how Barrios' lip has healed)

[amat]

Giovanni Segura defending against Jaro could be fun while it lasts, not long I don't think. Maybe he can catch Segura with a right, two really wild fighters.

Ward to box circles around Kessler imo.

Maidana fighting again will be fun, never seen his opponent.

Sonsona, not seen much of him. Maybe before but I'm not sure.

Yeah I'm not gonna get to excited about the Zsolt Erdei fight.

Kessler vs Ward should be a good one. I think Kessler will just be too good.

Really looking forward to Maidana fighting, that match will see knockdowns without a doubt. If you say his opponent has shakey legs, they will be tested here!

Shame I'm prob going to have to hunt around on the net to try and find the Maidana fight. Anyone know if it will be on TV anywhere at any point?

[HattonTheHammer]

good to see zsolt and maidana backing up kessler-ward this weekend

Erdei will be way too much for fragomeni, maidana just needs to keep on picking away at opponents until the likes of a khan or diaz come calling

Kesslers just gonna batter ward over 10 rounds!

TyC Sports is Argentina's big sports channel, I have been trying to find a steady stream for it for a while now with no consistent luck. I really wish
someone would have an official international boxing channel.

Sooooo, if anyone could pm me a link to someone that streams fights on TyC Sports, I'll blow my rep wad on you.

Looks like it's going to be a fight filled weekend.

Yeah there are some good ones on.

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Kessler/Ward should b nice im pickin Kessler.
Maidana is gonna go to town and KO.
The Segura fight should be really exciting im pickin Segura on that one love dat guy hes got guts.

[TigerFan]

Thanks for the heads up.

I like: Kessler, Sonsona, Maidana, Erdei and Segura.

Another fight I'm looking forward to is Humberto Mauro Gutierrez versus Vitali Tajbert. Kind of a sleeper fight but it should be a good one. They both had entertaining brawls with Sergey Gulyakevich.

I've looked everywhere and can't find the Maidana feed anywhere.

Even emailed the Argie broadcaster in Spanish to try and find out if they have a web link!

Anyone tried Justin.tv for it? Might have a live feed to the channel.

[CutMeMick]

I know for a fact at least 1 channel on Justin shows ALL Argie sports from TyC...

But I've seen about 10 total channels that advertise TyC sports line up.
Here's what I came up with in a quick search.
