Tonight the ESPN crew gathers at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL. A card that is full of guys on the fringe of being contenders. Some with recent setbacks trying to rise once again from the ashes. There are a few unbeaten guys in 4 rounders as well, not sure exactly which will be shown.

nothing abotu Delvin Rodriguez and Isaac Hlatshwayo??
I think that is the most important fight tonight. I think it's almost sad to see Julio Diaz still fighting. That kid is clearly an athlete, but just doesn't have a punch or much defense. He looks shot he fights so bad sometimes. Then I realize he's still in his 20's.

Rodriguez / Hlatswayo is tomorrow night bro. Diaz is still decent, but definately on has had better days.

Rossy is a typical football player turned boxer....tough, slow, no head movement. Eddie Chambers picked him apart like none other

No problem, I've done it myself countless times.

Early start time also, 7 pm....and dont forget Showbox card .Looks like a stacked weekend o' action.

Diaz might just have his hands very full.

IMO this is do or die for Diaz, he has to at least stay even with Cayo to stay relevant.

Sign of the times, with the HWs on the undercard.

interesting tidbit that Rossy trained with Shaolin Monks in china, don't think he learned their movement.

[Diane]

Yes, I got home from work just in time.

Hello boys.

[Spicoli]

What ever happened to Chazz anyway?Did Chris ruin him....these are some big dudes

[Diane]

Woo Hoo!! We got through the first round of a heavyweight fight, and the ring didn't break!!!

[killersheep]

Gave Rossy that round, not very confidently. He was leading the action and Drummond wasn't taking advantage of where I thought he should.
I must say Rossy is one of the most inaccurate punchers I've seen recently.

10-9 Rossy

[Spicoli]

Rossy just looks all wrong.Eats jabs like pop corn

[Spicoli]

What the helz was THAT.In the middle of Drumonds combination at the 2 minute mark,Rossy lifts his hands apart and stands there
