On Oct. 6 in San Antonio, U.S. Virgin Islands super middleweight Julius Jackson (19-0, 15 KOs), one of the fighting sons of former world titleholder Julian Jackson, will face Mexican-based Venezuelan Jose Uzcategui (23-1, 19 KOs) in a world title eliminator for the right to become the mandatory challenger for titleholder James DeGale (21-1, 14 KOs).

cant really get excited about these cards
No
I did advise him about #HauntedHouse with the way people are acting scary of #PorterHouse
PBC on ESPN is = to ESPN Friday Night Fights...with a little higher level of opposition.
Knowing that, I have no problem with the cards
yeah, but when people get in theirPBC on ESPN is = to ESPN Friday Night Fights...with a little higher level of opposition.

you're right PBC is FNF quality, with certain limited exceptions.
yeah, but when people get in theirmode like "PBC BRINGS ENTERTAINMENT DONT WATCH PBC FOR THE MAIN EVENT WATCH THEM FOR THE UNDERCARDS WHY DO YOU HATE HAYMON FOR BRINGING BOXING BACK AND ITS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" do you make those subtle distinctions?
you're right PBC is FNF quality, with certain limited exceptions.
PBC on ESPN is the replacement for ESPN FNF...not PBC in general
Just like PBC on Fox Sports 1 is the replacement for their fights. I'm not expecting elite fights on those networks and neither should yall, since you never did before when Boxing was on there before PBC
Only difference is that we won't be getting random matchups like James Taylor (12-0) vs Nick Wilson (9-2), but instead better matchups like Dominic Braezeale vs Fred Kassi with higher quality fighters appearing on the shows
