Tonight at 11pm EDT on Showtime, we'll be here for a live triple-header on ShoBox: The Next Generation. Those who did not catch the early ESPN3.com feed of the Lemieux-Rubio fight, I'd advise you to not enter that thread and get spoiled if you're waiting on the 11pm start time for Friday Night Fights. If you do, well, we gave you plenty of notice on the front page.
The three fights tonight from the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas are:
Super Middleweights, 10 Rounds
Marcus Johnson (20-0, 15 KO) v. Dyah Davis (18-2-1, 9 KO)
Junior Welterweights, 8 Rounds
Danny O'Connor (14-0, 3 KO) v. Gabriel Bracero (14-0, 1 KO)
Welterweights, 8 Rounds
Willie Nelson (16-0-1, 10 KO) v. Vincent Arroyo (10-1, 7 KO)
It'll be a good chance to see 6'3" welterweight Nelson in action, plus Johnson is one of my favorite project prospects. The middle fight doesn't really interest me at all, to be quite honest, as I don't see either O'Connor or Bracero as likely factors down the line, but it'll be good to see more from O'Connor than YouTube clips. I have a soft spot for him -- when he went pro, he was one of the first guys I got much press release material on.

I like Bracero
Kid has no power, but he’s got guts. I suspect DiBella got him this tv fight as a reward for selling half the tickets at his small local shows.

really interested to see Nelson in action
But I question Arroyo’s relevance as “someone worth noting.”

Hi gents. Wish I would have known about the FNF at 9 on espn3.
Now I’m stuck between channels, and everyone here knows something I don’t.

I was putting together some furniture I bought at IKEA earlier.
Would have liked to have been watching guys beat each other up instead.
But I appreciate the lack of spoilers.

Right there with you man. I was sooooooo pissed. And the worst thing was that I actually started watching and caught the post fight interview so I know who won.

just to reiterate - PLEASE NO SPOILERS FOR FNF HERE
there’s a post-fight recap up on the front page.
Oh and as soon as this is over, I’m going to de-jump that, so Matt you might want to avoid the front page until after you’ve watched the ESPN show

So are you going to wait until later to watch the Lemeiux/Rubio fight? Just so you know, it’s on soon… the fat guys are almost done

Check that. Fat dudes are done. So David/Marco is next.

What is with Bracero’s gym? Bracero, Malignaggi, and Foreman is like the holy trinity of non-punchers. Collazo is the only one of the guys they mentioned who has even a minimal amount of pop.
and Collazo isn't exactly heavy handed either
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"
Iran Barkley: "Rob your house"
I follow BoricuaBoxing on Twitter, and it seems they might be heavily invested in Collazo’s career and fuck they’re producing one of those “behind the scenes” internet shows about Collazo’s training… first episode was so boring I couldn’t finish it… Collazo was as entertaining as unbuttered toast.
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
That's a shame
I actually really like Collazo. He easily could have wins over Hatton and Berto (and I think that, while both fights were close, the outcomes — particularly in the Hatton fight — were attributable to Collazo’s status as the B-side), and suddenly you’re talking about a top-echelon star. Instead, he just kinda floats there.
I feel the same way.
Hatton received a bit of a gift in that fight, and boxing history would be considerably different if it had gone the other way.

whowould you say is winning this fight? I’m not really watching it well enough to know, but every time I check it, Bracero seems to be hitting O’Connor effectively

Irish is clueless

I sure hope Bracero gets the W he deserves considering it’s not like O’Connor is some real prospect.

95-94 Davis for me. Johnson’s stock dropped either way for me, and that’s not meant to be a shot at the tough Davis.

98-91, 98-91, 96-93 – all for Dyah Davis
VERY wide scores (well the first two). I thought he won but jeez.
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
those two cards were pretty wide for Davis, but they were plausible.
There were a lot of close rounds. You would have to give every close round to Davis, but I could see that math working out. Since the right man won, I’m not to disturbed by it overall.
Somewhat questionable but not controversial scoring.
Pretty good tactical fight.
