JMM vs Sergey Fedchenko

Fedchenko is not that great a boxer but he's good enough, if he stays on the outside to give, JMM a fit and beat him on points.

HBO: Boxing: Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Sergey Fedchenko



Robert Garcia cracks me up laughing at Rios then he doesn't even pay attention to the drama goes on with his own interview. No disrespect to JMM, but I think this fight should be main event. If Fedchenko respects JMM's power and stays on the outside he will end up being a runner make it a boring fight.

What it is, is they need Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Sergey Fedchenko as the main event to sell the PPV. The card would not sell as a PPV if Rios vs. Richard Abril was the main event, it needs a big name like Marquez as the headliner.

As for the fights, I agree that Rios vs. Abril should be the best fight of the night, these two seem to hate each other.

Oh I don't disagree. JMM is definitely a bigger name, I just think Rios vs. Abril will be a better fight because Fedchenko is not strong enough to stand in there with Marquez.

To tell you the truth, i'm just not all that interested in JMM's fights anymore, and I really don't care about watching his fight with Fedchenko.

Rios is a little prick, but his fights can be entertaining, Rios vs Abril will be the first fight up on an HBO PPV double header. Unless i'm feeling particularly energetic Saturday night, April 16th, i'll likely turn off the shitty stream i'll be getting, right after the Rios fight.

That's true. But Abril isn't strong enough ti stand in there with Rios either. Both fights will be one-sided or blow outs

You could be so right there. Honestly, I haven't seen Abril fight, I was just assuming he had a long amature career because of his age and low number of pro fights being from Cuba. It's not uncommon for Cuban defectors to have 200-300 amature fights. I don't know if Abril is a defector or fights out of Cuba.

Abril is a tall fighter. And he fights like one. He uses his height well. But while I think he troubles Rios for a round or two, I don't see him having the power to stall Rios assault. I see Abril taking a bad beating

If John Murray could not dent Rios then very few fighters can. Rios reminds me of a playground bully starving himself to beat up smaller people. If I was his opponent I would be throwing body punches all night. That would weaken Rios for the taking, I bet JMM could do it.

common thing these days. Rios should be at 140 at the least. Chavez Jr. weighs 180 pounds in the ring after weighing in at 160. There should be some sort of limit to how much weight a fighter can put on if they are going to continue to have the weigh ins around 30 hrs before the fight.
