ESPN BOXING

12TH YEAR OF ESPN FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS...THIS AT THE COX PAVILLION AT UNLV'S CAMPUS

TALK ABOUT LATE.....SAME OLD SHIT....

SCHEDULE FOR 6...FIRST SHORT BOUT AT 620 ONE ROUND KNOCKOUT...WAIT TIL 7 FOR TV

ONLY THIS WAS WORSE THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL GAME WAS ON DELAYING THE FIRST PUNCH TIL 738....AMAZING....FROM 6 TIL KICKOFF....98 MINUTES YOU GOT 2 MINUTES OF CRAPPY BOXING ....WHO LIVE GATE WOULD BUY TICKETS TO THIS.

LOTS DID AND THEY ALL SAT BEHIND PRESS ROW AND WHISTLED FOR TWO HOURS FOR THE HERRERA BROTHERS WHO FOUT THE TWO MAIN EVENTS.

BOXING

PRETTY GOOD

OLYMPIAN DEMETRUIS ANDRADE 12-0 WON 59 OF 60 ROUNDS OVER ALBERTO HERRERA 7-1-1

MAIN EVENT HAD ITS HOOKS MAURICIO HERRERA 15-2 WON A CLOSE UNANIMOUS DECISION OVER RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV 17-1 IN A SURPRISE. HERRERA HAD HIS LEFT CLOSED IN THE FOURTH ROUND AND THE DOCTOR CHECKED HIM EVERY ROUND IN ANTICIPATION OF STOPPING THE FIGHT.
I THOUGH HE LOST MOST OF THE ROUNDS....NOT THE WORLDS GREATEST JUDGE DUANE FORD...SO
THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME...OTHER TWO JUDGES AGREED. COMPETITIVE HARD FOUGHT INTERESTING FIGHTS. GREAT REASON TO TAPE THIS SHIT AT HOME AND FAST FORWARD WHATEVER YOU DONT WANT TO SEE.

2 IS THE SCORE FFFFF LATE LATE LATE LATE LATE LATE LATE
