Wednesday night fights ESPN

[Spicoli]

Shame on me as this one is happening in my own backyard up in Monroe La. and only now realize it's being aired on ESPN tonight begins at 7 pm. Tempted to jump in the car but no way of making 230 + miles. Looks like a textbook 'showcase' card for a couple of highly touted / highly exposed Cuban amatuer stars. No way this one runs 2 hrs and probally dubbed "special event". Cough.

Erislandry Lara 12-0 (7) will exercise vs. Willie Lee 17-6 (11) middles and Yordanis Despaigne 6-0 (4) goes against undefeated Frank paines 11-0 (10) lt. Hvys

Good thing the ticket center had accurate information !?...its a 9 pm start Little leauge softball world series just ended late........hope that does not result in real late start for card

[Spicoli]

Lots of studio talk as they are only airing the two matches. Margarito talk and upcoming Manny fight and how he was turned down for license in CA. today.
Lara has the percieved "tougher" challenger as Lee has some losses but has faced some names...being tko'd by all. Dawson,Vanes,Seche Powell,Mack and has so so wins over faded Alex Bunema for NABF belt and beat Jason Papillion who in another lifetime had some ok skills..........that is main event it turns out.

First up Is Despaigne facing "undefeated" Frank Paines,love the irony of name. Hey he's Columbian for what that's worth but has faced ONE fighter with winning record. Who was 17-13-1.......6 opponents had zero wins

[Spicoli]

Despaigne respectful if anything in first round? Get the feeling hes about to shift gears as he was just touching staitionary Paines. Paines is tiny compared and went low a couple of times....smell a matter of time unless this .....nevermind

[Spicoli]

Paines getting tatted in 2nd...dropped hard and hit a few big left hooks in one sided round. Hes not doing much and this is a case of numbers being totally misleading.....undefeated records can be earned OR completely manufactured. Beginning of 3rd here...

[Spicoli]

More winging hooks from Paines and Despaigne seems to be looking to counter more,straight shots...eats a couple clean jabs off Paines. Hmm. He seems a bit bored
