fukked up how Herrera will never be remember as an elite at 140.
Man schooled Provodnikov, beat DAnny Garcia. Never got the big payday he deserved ,now he is 37 at 147 against a shot Soto Karass.

Elite at 140?

He has 4 losses at 140...including Karim Mayfield giving him that work.

Breaks my heart.

He worked so hard and lost big pay days due to getting robbed in the Garcia fight.

He schooled and embarrassed him in Puerto Rico too.

Yeah elite at 140, he beat the best at 140, you beat the man at 140, DAnny, you are elite IMHO.
Alvarado pre-meth was legit at 140. That drug and meth life got him though, that is a wasted talent example right there.

No they don't, this is your typical friday night fights card.
Nobody cared about typical Friday night fights cards.Watching a card headlined by two shot fighters ,fighting in a dead atmosphere in a fight that means nothing is a giant waste of time.

CFL will do bigger numbers

Have all fought or are going to fight on regular TV

Cards like this does more to hurt boxing than help


You are going to get more cards like this than the ones you just mentioned. There are too many Tuesday and Friday night fights to showcase all of the top level talent.

You sound like someone who is a boxing casual, friday night fights pulled in ratings, promoters just decided to do time buys instead of relying on ESPN to put on cards with Warriors boxing and etc. These are your regular cards and they aren't terrible at all. This is a average card, you don't get superfights every week.

What I'm saying is if boxing is going to be shown on a channel like ESPN it should be a fight that means something.Whether it's showcasing a rising prospect,title eliminator, or a legit intriguing fight . The fights on ESPN should feel like an event .Boxing is already halfway dead to casuals and cards like this just reinforces that.

We got Herrera and Soto karass fighting on ESPN while Robert Easter fights on Bounce on sundays after a Blankman marathon.That shyt is goofy.

Dude you see this thread right now? This is a thread that is filled with boxing hardcore fans...and it's dead as fukk. If hardcores barely care what do you think a casual flipping channels and seeing this card will think? This ain't pulling no one in and it's doing nothing for boxing .Its just a way for ESPN to fill 2 hours
