That was 2001 Dorin. The Dorin who beat Augustus that year and got robbed of a win against Paul Spadafora.
ESPN is good also and I would never knock FNF. Great series with a ton of great fights. I just like Shobox because it showcases prospects. It's really groundbreaking really, I mean look at that list. With the exception of Michael Johnson, all of these guys were on this show before really making it big. And sure I'm stretching for some like Burton and Ebo, but I put them on because they had an awesome fight, a fight of the year contender.
And they picked up on guys like Collazo and Quintana years before anyone else did. Collazo snuck up on a lot of people in the Hatton fight but he has fought on Shobox 3 times before that. He even lost once. Sechew Powell fought the toughest fight of his career prior to Ouma against a fairly unknown fighter named Grady Brewer.
ESPN is great and all, but they showcase a whole hell of a lot of old fighters trying claw there way back up. Look at the fight tonight, Quiles and Cambell. Great fights normally no doubt but still, they don't showcase the future quite like Shobox. I really don't see how anyone could have a problem with Shobox. It's a great show.
