no thread for the cbs card yet???

[armin]

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

[armin]

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.

From what I've read they're also showing one or two of the olympians' debuts. Also double or tripple ot haven't made it home yet dam it

Yeah I got a little welled up there.

[Spicoli]

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

[Spicoli]

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

[Spicoli]

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

[Mar]

[IamInuit]

[beenKOed]

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