Lanard Lane is putting on a bit of a show out there, but Martin Tucker is there to meet him.

Tucker's game

Lane’s obviously better, but Tucker is working the body pretty nicely, and isn’t getting run over.

Yeah. So far Tucker looks better than his record. He’s putting up a decent little fight here.

Teddy and Joe overreacted to a Lane flurry near the end of the seventh round. I think it had about three clean punches.

I find Porter struggling to be interesting. I didn’t figure this would happen until he stepped up against a contender. His size is a real problem at 154 and they can’t keep ignoring it. If he CAN make 147, he needs to start.
