Fight of the day-Looked for Chandler/Solis 1 to no avail then Pong/Hussein and no dice. Man the little guys really get boned on the coverage. If you don't happen to catch them live on a broadcast they can be gone forever. I'm sure everyone has seen Manny/Cotto a gazillion times especially the small crew that pay attention to this thread.
