ESPN (especially Rafael) has been doing that *a lot*. I don't fully understand the logic behind ESPN promoting, and hosting PBC fights, yet bashing them under their breath.

The women on the show mention how fighters used to come up on CBS and how people don't know these new boxers. What the fuck do they think PBC is for? They had the Heavyweight Champion on there last week for christ sakes.




And the ratings were strong, despite what fat boy Raphael says.

Agreed, 100%. I watched a few minutes of their mindless rambling and I had to shut the video off.

Just because the Spanish chick can ramble off names she stil don't know shit.

I swear ESPN gives their guests a list of shit they're not allowed to talk about.

Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams and Robert Easter Jr. vs. Richard Commey set for Fall

The relevant parties in two IBF title fights have come to terms, staving off impending purse bids. According to ESPN, junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo will make his third defense against mandatory challenger Julian Williams on October 1st, while Robert Easter Jr. and Richard Commey will battle for the vacant lightweight title on September 9th.

Charlo (24-0, 18 KO) thrashed K9 Bundrage last September to earn the belt, then crushed Wilky Campfort two months later for his first successful defense. His most recent fight saw him edge out Austin Trout for a close decision win.

"J-Rock" Williams (22-0-1, 14 KO) thrashed Luciano Cuello in ninety-three seconds last year in his starring turn on Fox Sports 1 before earning his mandatory status with a seventh-round stoppage of Marcello Matano on Showtime. He’s scored knockouts in seven of his last nine fights.

Easter Jr. (17-0, 14 KO) and Commey (24-0, 22 KO) fight for the belt left behind by Rances Barthelemy in the Cuban’s jump to 140. Ghana’s Commey was originally "Kid Blast’s" mandatory challenger, while Easter ran roughshod over Argenis Mendez in his last fight to earn a shot at the vacant title.

Two quality matchups between undefeated fighters; not bad, IBF. Not bad at all.

Arum doesn't promote Thurman.

No way Arum lets Pac pass the torch (so to speak) and become a ppv draw off beating Pac if he doesn't promote them.

Letting him fight Crawford or Postol carries no risk since all are with Top Rank.

Arum and Al Haymon done kissed and made up so they stated that they will work together now. Arum was trying to match pac with Broner but he priced himself out of a career high payday

Postol bigger than I thought...taller with a longer reach...very interesting....think Crawford takes it but wouldn't see it as a big upset if Postol wins

Vegas go Postol as an underdog but I see it as a pick em. This is a 50-50 fight like that Thurman vs Porter match. I can not confidently say who will win.

:lol:

I haven't reached a determination yet. Sometimes I can judge during the face off that the guy who cracks a smile or breaks bearing first usually the one that's going to lose but man, I'm actually excited for this fight cause I sincerely can't make a overwhelming case for who the victor will be. The Postol camp going around saying they've beat better opponents...I don't know. When all else fails, Bet on Black :cool:

Before I go any further I need to address these bitches.



They say Pacquiao needed to come back becuse there are no big names but this is the SAME show that said they wanted Floyd to retire.

They also indirectly shit all over PBC.

Boxing is my number one sport that I watch religiously, so much so, that I'll watch two virtually unknowns in another country in a language I can't begin to understand. I'm in my fourth decade and I've never seen any of these women around or mentioned in boxing in my life.

I cut that shit off. In the infamous words of Roger Mayweather, "Most people STILL don't know shit about boxing."

P.S. I like to thank Al Haymon for providing Thurman vs. Porter in which my bets I won covered half of the purchase price of my new laptop.
