I was shocked to see ESPN showing highlights of this fight last night. Why they don't cover more boxing, news? ESPN is lacking big time when they claim Poker as a sport and cover that kind of cr@p. Sport Network my arse.

That is suprising, why would they pick this fight of all fights. They act like boxing's not even a sport, I mean for fuck's sake they cover the WNBA.Originally Posted by Danny_G

That's what I've been saying. Hell, they have BOWLING on right now. That's not a sport; unless you consider trading flesh eating diseases by wearing shoes worn by 40,000 other people a sport.

...nothing surprising. The fight went exactly as I expected, though not the way I wanted. Juarez can't fight from outside so keep him out and he's done, that's exactly what Marquez did. Almost exactly as Barrera did to him in rematch except Marquez seemed to be more serious than Barrera who seemed to be fooling around a bit. Strange thing about Juarez is that he can't throw decent straights or jabs, but mostly hooks. That's one reason why he can't fight from the inside. The headbutt cut in the 1st seemed to bother him but it didn't matter much. The only good thing about Juarez is that he had a pretty good defense - he used his gloves pretty well as many shots actually hit his gloves. If it weren't for his nice glove defense, he'd probably not lasted 12 rounds, especially the cut, which was bleeding from the beginning, would've opened up earlier and fight stopped. As for Marquez, at 34 and just like Penalosa, he didn't seem to have diminished a bit.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

Well said.They have Been declining for years.You would F!!!!!! think with THREE channels they would show some respect as in the past when they were one of the Best Boxing friendly Networks around Imo.
I like The classic show they put together though.Alot of prime stuff but All in All Its obvious there Heart Is not in the Fight game anymoreF..'Em!

Why all the hate for ESPN? They could have more boxing coverage, but what they do have is good. They got ESPN classic boxing on at 5 PM weekdays, have great Ringside biographies on great fighters, and run seasons of FNF and WNF with some action packed match ups. I think ESPN treats boxing with much more respect and gives it more attention than say, FSN or other networks.
