6/23 ESPN: Andrew Moloney vs. Joshua Franco / Christopher Diaz vs Jason Sanchez

[<<TheStandard>>]

Moretti might be the WOAT reputable judge if that makes sense...

Every time I hear “Judge Dave Moretti scores...” I know fukkery might ensue.

Moretti scored 7 rounds for Pacquiao in the 3rd fight against Marquez which led to Marquez coming to the next fight looking like he was planning on hitting 73 home runs.

those fights with negrete gave franco all the experience he needed to be a dog...he will need that to upset chocolatito

I used to think boxing judges were influenced by the crowd but it's clear, these guys are just being paid off. If you're betting boxing, you're better off always picking your spots to bet the favorite unless you handicap a substantial mismatch for the underdog.

Favorites in boxing just have a huge margin for error because they actually don't have to "win" the fight. They get the benefit of the doubt similar to how defensive minded players/teams in the NBA are allowed to foul/grab/pull more often without it being called.

Bruh this is Top Rank, look up Bob Arum history, he got caught trying to buy his fighters rankings on the IBF list back in the day, why you think they pushed the WBO so hard bruh look at how that belt operates, Bob can get whatever rankings and matchups he wants with that belt which is why a lot of fighters don't want it, not to mention you can't weight jump and hold that belt either if you move up or down you HAVE to vacate. Nobody even looked at the WBO as a major organization until the mid 2000s.

Good scrap..

Moloney drowned in deep waters, Franco overwhelmed him and beat his ass. Came close to stopping him, thought he was gonna get the KO

Those scorecards

You know your scorecards are shyt when Julie Lederman had the best scorecard for the fight

 

[patscorpio]

Moloney really got bashed up..he had to be taken out on stretcher to the hospital


Thankfully it wasnt a brain bleed but busted eardrums..when you hear nausea, dizziness, and vomiting..that's what you think

Franco-Moloney ESPN Show Peaked At 390,000 Viewers, Averaged 310,000

ESPN televised a much more compelling main event Tuesday night, but viewership was only slightly higher than it was for its previous boxing broadcast on a weeknight.

Nielsen Media Research revealed Wednesday that the network’s three-hour, 31-minute telecast Tuesday night was watched by an average of 310,000 viewers. The peak audience of 390,000 tuned in toward the conclusion of the main event, Joshua Franco’s upset of Andrew Moloney in their 12-round, 115-pound title fight at MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas.

ESPN’s previous weeknight show, which aired Thursday night from MGM Grand Conference Center, attracted a peak audience of 382,000 and an average audience of 305,000.

The main event of Thursday’s card, Gabe Flores Jr.’s easy victory over Josec Ruiz, was supposed to open ESPN’s five-fight broadcast. Their 10-round lightweight bout was elevated to the main event Thursday morning because the Jose Pedraza-Mikkel LesPierre bout was postponed once LesPierre’s manager, Josie Taveras, testing positive for COVID-19.

The 10-round junior welterweight battle between Puerto Rico’s Pedraza (26-3, 13 KOs) and Brooklyn’s LesPierre (22-1-1, 10 KOs) has been rescheduled for July 2 at MGM Grand Conference Center.

Pedraza and LesPierre will have a tough time matching the type of entertainment Franco and Moloney produced during their WBA world super flyweight title fight. San Antonio’s Franco (17-1-2, 8 KOs) overcame a slow start, took complete control in the final four rounds and scored an 11th-round knockdown on his way to winning a majority decision over Australia’s Moloney (21-1, 14 KOs).

In the co-featured fight of ESPN’s four-bout broadcast, Puerto Rican featherweight Christopher Diaz (26-2, 16 KOs) out-boxed Jason Sanchez (15-1, 8 KOs), of Albuquerque, New Mexico, to win a 10-round unanimous decision.

ESPN will televise live boxing again Thursday night, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Australia’s Jason Moloney (20-1, 17 KOs), Andrew’s twin brother, will meet Mexico’s Leonardo Baez (18-2, 9 KOs, 1 NC) in the main event, a 10-round bantamweight bout. The six-bout broadcast also will include a 10-round lightweight bout in which Abraham Nova (18-0, 14 KOs), of Albany, New York, will face Philadelphia’s Avery Sparrow (10-1, 3 KOs, 1 NC).
