Thomas Dulorme vs. Luis Carlos Abregu Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

Just wanted to add to this thread: HBO will likely add some sort of tribute paying final respect to Emmanuel Steward during this card Saturday night, it will be worth watching.

The HBO BAD card begins @ 10:15 PM ET tonight here in the States or about 3:15 AM Sunday morning for you night owls in the UK.

Pretty solid card. We are seeing an increase in triple headers it seems and that's a good thing! It may be a long shot but I wouldn't be totally shocked to see upsets. Herrera reminds me of a Carlos Molina and up until his last go Mayfield isn't awe inspiring. Abregu is awkward dangerous, as much for a headbutt, shoulder block as he is a wide bomb. Be nice to see words for Manny but honestly ten count isn't enough. They could sound that bell for three hours and he'd still be due. That man leaves a massive void.

Vazquez I think is the only safe bet for tonight. I can easily see Mayfield losing. And if Abregu can handle Dulorme power he beats him. But considering the way Irving Garcia almost had him out that might be asking to much from Abregu

I got it fixed myself Missy, I altered/edited the OP a bit in "advanced mode" and it began working for me.
I especially wanted to see the tribute HBO will have for Manny Steward tonight, it should be well worth watching.
cheers

I think he may sponge what Vasquez can dish but dish he will, constant and a very crafty dude!

Nice piece on Mitchell...want to like em but cannot see him going real far but it'll be tv friendly.

Now I see why, even though it's a IBF lightweight title fight, Vazquez vs. Quintero isn't the main event.

I like Mitchell, he should just keep gaining experiece and not worry about fighting a Klitschko for a while, Povetkin would be a nice fight for him next year sometime.

Vasquez needs to do what he does and box his game. Thought we were back in Brooklyn for a second with all the booing..in the 1st round

@Spicoli, ever drink any Newcastle Brown Ale? I'm getting addicted to the stuff.

Vasquez wants to fight the winner of DeMarco - Broner? He'd get starched by either one of those Pugs.
