Tonight's season finale of Friday Night Fights is a nice-looking double-header from the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana, and though the fights are just mere minutes away from me (well, 45 minutes), I'll be in tonight for the TV party that is our weekly Friday Night Fights live thread.
The show starts at 9 p.m. EDT on ESPN, and will be streaming live at ESPN3.com.
It's been a great season of Friday Night Fights, and I feel pretty sad that it's ending tonight. This season has made staying in at 9 p.m. on a Friday night more fun.
In tonight's main event, Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (13-0, 10 KO) faces veteran Grady Brewer (28-12, 16 KO) in a 10-round junior middleweight affair. It's a massive step up in class for the young Andrade, a former U.S. Olympian who hasn't visibly grown much since turning pro in 2008, but it's also hard to tell, because his opposition thus far has been pretty sad. Brewer is coming off of a big upset of Fernando Guerrero in June, and is looking to make himself one of the stars of the season with a second win in two months.
The co-feature has local favorite David Diaz (36-3-1, 17 KO) against Philly's Hank Lundy (20-1-1, 10 KO) in a 10-round lightweight fight. Diaz is at a do or die stage of his career as far as being a potential top contender goes, and Lundy is looking to move up to that level himself.
We did a full preview this morning, for those interested in further pre-fight thoughts. Join us tonight as we say goodbye to Friday Night Fights for 2011.

I’m bummed too that this is the end of FNF for a while. Not only has the season been great, these threads have been some of the most fun of the ones we had.
In honor of the last FNF and the last FNF fight thread of the season, I am going to get shitfaced drunk and probably say a bunch of stupid shit. I’ll also probably start getting peoples’ names mixed up by the end of the night, if past experience is any indication.
OK, time for another blender full of rum, ice, coco lopez, and fresh fruit.

I’m so exhausted I don’t even have the energy to drink. BUT, when I’m this tired, it’s pretty much like I’m already drunk, except I make more typos this way.

are they really going to preempt fnf for tennis?
i feel like tennis gets even worse ratings than boxing, but thats not based on any evidence whatsoever
I’d love to tell you that tennis does better ratings, as there would be a reason for this, but it does not. In fact it does much worse ratings in the small sample sizes I can dig up.

Still I guess of the three, Hammond is the least shitty. The order would go 1. East Chicago, 2. Gary, 3. Hammond, IMO. Gary is statistically more violent than EC, I think, but it’s also bigger and it can be easier to stay out of shit.

I grew up about 40 minutes north of South Bend. When I was a kid, that and Kalamazoo were, like, “the city.” Chicago basically only existed to me as a place where sports teams played, and field trips to museums happened. Wrap your head around that.

I grew up in the dead middle of Cleveland, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. An hour and a half away from all three. Those were my options. Granted, Pittsburgh is fantastic, but Cleveland and Buffalo blow.

Beanpole was out on his feet. Brutal.
That being said, exuberance of Wisdom’s trainer notwithstanding , I’m pretty sure he will not be a champ.
OK, so random boxing topic. In past decades, as we all know, boxing had more exposure on mainstream television, and you could watch big fights for free with just an antennae. People often talk about how much better the current situation would be if we had boxing on big network channels and had CBS covering big fights instead of HBO via PPV. But if you had told me when I was a kid that when I was in my forties I would be watching fights from all around the world on a computer, or that I would be able to watch them whenever I wanted with DVR I would have drooled. I think I’d take having to pay to watch fights the big on my television in HD and getting all the rest of what I get from technology in terms of old and new fights over how it used to be. Screw the good old days.

er “the big fights” not “fights the big” Rum setting in.
Boxing writer: "Iran, what are you going to do when you retire?"

i prefer the way it was in the 70s/80s
you’d have the closed circuit of ppv telecast, and then a few days later, you’d have the fight broadcast on like ABC wide world of sports on a sunday afternoon… that way everyone gets a chance to watch the big fights. And really, I think how far US olympic boxing has fallen is a huge deal; olympic boxing used to be one of the main Summer Olympic sports they would show in prime-time. That’s why we all knew who those guys were when, say, the ’84 team went pro. Now, Andre Ward wins a gold medal and no one really knows who he is.
Olympic boxing used to be something I really looked forward to and followed closely.
But the way it is now, I can barely watch it. Totally agree about that point.

Olympic boxing is really awful to watch now. I do think next year I’m gonna try, though, so we don’t have another dead ass August on the site.

I wasn't even alive when ABC and NBC aired boxing on weekends. :(
I went whale watching the other day. I think. There were a lot of people in that lake.
It was great times. I could talk to my friends and Dad about the fights. Nowadays, it’s only the internet…………….none of my current friends know jack shit about the sport
I have a couple close friends who I can talk to about boxing with in person,
and I catch fights live when I can, which is pretty often here in NYC, so to me it doesn’t seem that it’s only the internet. But it does seem like the internet gives me more good fights than I ever had in the past, even if I am the only one watching them. Luckily my girlfriend likes boxing too, so it’s not so bad. But I do miss talking about boxing with my dad (RIP).

But right now I fucking loathe tennis.

Playing golf is the best. Nowhere else on the planet do not only allow drinking and driving a motorized vehicle, they encourage it. “Need anything? A cooler? Ice? We have drink cart girls every fourth hole!”

I feel like with the absolute ass awful month of August I’ve had too many nights off this month. I really operate best when there’s a big fight every weekend. Next week doesn’t even have FNF. What the fuck am I supposed to do then? Week after that I’m actually taking a mini-vacation, but interrupting it to cover Zaveck vs Berto.

Mixed feelings
On the one hand, I understand the desire to take easy stay-busy fights while you’re waiting for a big fight to come around, especially if you’re a mandatory. And it’s not like there are TV dates available for money fights against other contenders.
On the other hand, at least find someone with a pulse.

I like his roughhouse style.
He’s about a nasty as you can get as a fighter without being an out-right dirty fighter. I respect that.
A tad more athletic, a tad less cerebral
But very good comparison.
More technical offensively, less defensively.

Yeah, I’ve got to recant on my Lundy criticisms. He’s more exciting than I’ve been giving him credit for. I was just wrong.

Feel bad for Diaz. What a thump. Diaz didn't lose any fans though.

Eh
I didn’t get the sense watching Diaz that he’s on his last legs (except all that scar tissue). He was perfectly competitive until he became his own Friday the 13th movie.
Yeah he can fight on, and his plans aren’t to stay forever anyway. He can still do a few more fights in Chicago and pad his retirement funds. The cuts are gonna be rough to battle though.

Disagree
Hank Lundy has some good stuff. I can see him winning a title.
I’m not seeing it. Loses focus, doesn’t take punches too well. Maybe a weak title, but that’s it. But I’m now looking forward to watching him continue on as a FNF regular.

Steve Kim just mentioned something that sadly bears mentioning: David Diaz was very short-sighted to turn down the $200K to fight JM Marquez. He made $15K tonight.

Oh, the scores were perfectly reasonable. But the 10-8 Mares 11th should’ve been a 10-8 Agbeko round after a point deduction. Mares should’ve had at least one other point deducted, if there wasn’t a DQ.
And who knows how much more effective Agbeko would’ve been if Mares hadn’t been using his balls as a speed bag.
by Verklemptomaniac on Aug 19, 2011 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Yep, that swing round could have literally changed the outcome of the fight.
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
Oh I agree the ref was a joke. But to say Agbeko would of won if Mares would of lost points doesn’t make much sense. Cuz there’s a good chance Mares stops going low if he loses one point. The KD in the 11th was just wrong. But i don’t have a problem with the one in the 1st. It was a slip. But a punch (glancing or not) did land

it’s fine. Abner Mares made Anthony Peterson look like Mr. Clean, and compared to either of them Ward is pure as driven snow.

Yeah, well, I agree. He was the draw anyway. My favorite thing was that apparently ESPN didn’t think Diaz vs Lundy was worthy of a FNF main event. This from the program that had just put on Anthony Dirrell vs Kevin Engel.

I missed the last 4 rounds or so, but from the comments I’m guessing… Andrade went on cruise control?
