JMM vs. Fedchenko and Rios vs. Abril - Saturday night fight thread

[Mars_ax]

Should be a great night of boxing, an HBO PPV double header, i'm not sure how many of the undercard fights they'll show, but I would think at least 1 fight from each card since it's a PPV. The Rios vs Abril card will be up first from Vegas, after that, the action on HBO will switch to JMM vs Fedchenko in Mexico City.

At Las Vegas (HBO PPV): Brandon Rios vs. Richard Abril, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA lightweight title; Mike Alvarado vs. Mauricio Herrera, 10 rounds, junior welterweights.

And:

At Mexico City (HBO PPV): Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Sergey Fedchenko, 12 rounds, for vacant WBO interim junior welterweight title; Saul Roman vs. Richard Gutierrez, 10 rounds, middleweights; Daniel Sandoval vs. Michel Rosales, 10 rounds, welterweights.

I believe Rios will stomp a mudhole in Abril's ass in that fight, and stop him within about 7 rounds or less. As for JMM vs. the Ukranian, this is a huge step up for Serhiy, in Mexico City no less in front of JMM's homies. I can't see any way Fedchenko can win this, Marquez either by KO in the late rounds, or if Serhiy runs all night by a Wide UD.

Who you bitches got?

Who you fine gentlemen got?

Well kind sir since you asked so cordially, I gotta go with the favorites against the unknowns. Marquez is coming off what should have been the biggest win of his career, unless he is simply umotivated and didn't train for this bout he should win it without too much difficulty. Rios is a huge fucker who starves himself down to fight little guys and is a ferocious lil bastard so he ought to stop his opponent who doesn't appear to have the fire power to discourage him.

Honestly, this card doesn't feel like a PPV. I mean this PLUS the Mayweather vs. Cotto and Pacquaio vs. Bradley PPV's, I don't think so.

True, this should have been shown on regular HBO WCB, maybe HBO figures this PPV will do well with the Latino/Hispanic market, who fucking knows. I just know it ain't worth $54.95 in HD.

In any event, i'll be hunting a stream Saturday night, i'm really more interested in the Rios fight then I am JMM's.

I'm interested in the Rios/ Abril fight, Abril is unknown but he can fight! I think Rios will get to him late but I think it's gonna be a fun fight...

Is it cheaper than the usual PPV price on HBO?

Only about 10 bucks, the usual fee for HBO HD PPV is $64.95, this one is $54.95. Thing is, this card shouldn't even be a PPV.

Like I said, i'll be hunting a stream for the fights Saturday.
