Where can I catch The Verdejo fight tomorrow?

 

[freakydestroyer]

Cotto hasn't fought in over a year. I don't think he's had injuries, what's up with that?

 

[illphillip]

Collazo

Unimas channel. Real late like 11 eastern i think.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Collazo

Man **** I forgot to bet, I would've came up. Everytime a guy who started boxing late is a considerable favorite against a veteran or someone with an extensive amateur background, bet on the underdog.

 

[illphillip]

Agreed.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Looks like Nacho is going to train JCC Jr. He doesn't want to go up to Riverside.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I'm sure Juan Marquez has some good tactical advice to give to Chavez Jr.

 

[Bobby Layne]

I can't remember the last time Nacho had a typical Mexican brawler at any significant level.

 So Golden Boy has put out a press release, confirming Chavez Jr's earlier tweet - May 6th bout to be at T-Mobile in LV #boxing

 

[wavy daddy]

Are they airing the verdajo fight right when it starts or is there a card?

 

[blackcease]

I can't remember the last time Nacho had a typical Mexican brawler at any significant level. 

Angulo, for one fight I believe. And that was the one where he got his *** beat by Kirkland

Yeah I don't see these two meshing well. 

Jr should just have his Dad train him.

Another unimpressive fight for verdejo, can't remember last time dude looked good out there. Should get another fight before facing Flanagan for the belt

 

[dat dude chris]

Ive given up on Verdejo. Dude has no punching accuracy or timing. Be missing open shots left & right. Be getting hit by some BS punches & seems to tire easily

Dude prolly a party animal. He maybe the Rican Chavez Jr

As a Rican i just want a real pound for pound best fighter to be proud about

Despite being linked to taking on Canelo Alvarez in September, Golovkin may have to squeeze in mandatory duties against the 32 year-old Bahaman or risk dropping one of his belts before the expected super-fight.

The International Boxing Federation are awaiting the outcome of Golovkin’s New York bout with Jacobs before stipulating the winner has to then compete against their number one contender in Johnson.

“We expect the winner of Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Jacobs to do the IBF mandatory next,” IBF Chairman Lindsey Tucker exclusively told World Boxing News this week.

GGG has a fight lined up for July in Kazakhstan, I'm sure it'll be against Johnson now that you mention that

He's fighting Jacobs in mid March and it could put some wear and tear on him. That leaves 2.5-3 months to recover. On top of that he's 35. Johnson is no world beater but GGG should still want to be close to 100%
