Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

For this weekend's Friday Night Fights, Frankie Figueroa has pulled out of his fight against Ruslan Provodnikov. Instead, the Siberian will be facing the drunken master, Emmanuel Augustus. Augustus is well past his best at this point, losing by split decision to Figueroa and by knockout to Oyewale Omotoso in his last two fights. Still, a change from the deathly boring "Gato" to a natural born entertainer is always a welcome change. In the main event, Ji Hoon Kim will face Ameth Diaz.

Augustus is sort of a tough guy to adjust to with only last-minute notice. Even a way-past-prime version.

Figueroa boring?

You’re just hating on his Gato moves. It’s OK though – he has promised to fight Provodnikov when he gets fit again, so we will all get do see him doing his thang thang

I think this is a great treat… I am going to the fight… man this is like the 4th fight here in Laredo.

It might not be the biggest crowd but most of the people who go actually pay… and it isn’t papered.

Usually the radio stations give away tickets but it is rare that they do that here…

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Univision was giving out a raffle yesterday for vip seats or some shit . Usually the winners are just random people who put their name into the box just so they can see if they win. Don’t matter tho..I got my tickets like last week..awesome prices for the tickets 2 :)
