Juan Diaz vs. Julien Lorcy tonight at 10 pm on ESPN2. Diaz is a treat to watch for those who haven't seen him...

Is it live? I didn't know ESPN was broadcasting boxing again.

Isn't ESPN airing a few semi-high profile fights (not part of their friday/tuesday night fight series) in the next two months

Yes, it's life - and this is one of those fights you speak of.

Depends of who you consider 'high profile'....I think that Diaz, Rocky Juarez and Kermit Cintron are all scheduled to fight on ESPN within the next 2 mo's. (All these guy's fought on NBC last spring, so I dont know if being on FNF is considered 'moving up' or not :confused: )
This entire month is filled with boxing; every Sat. this month something is going down! :D

Glad you like it. It reminded me of a cross between Injun Kim and Eric Moral. The next Champ 4 sure!

It's a step down from their HBO Boxing After Dark appearances.

I've seen the fight and it was a decent one I must say. Though I expected more of a fight from Lorcy, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

Hmmm, and I was thinking that I've seen Diaz look much better :confused: It was a good fight, but not a complete "blow out".....I scored it 117-111 (Diaz).
The first fight however was bull (a draw my ass!) and now I understand why Guerrero mainly fight's in Texas and has soooooo many draws! I scored that one 98-92 (Lacierva) and the crowd wasnt too pleased with the 'home town' boy getting a draw either! :mad: I couldnt help but notice how 'happy' Guerrero was with the decision, where most fighter that REALLY thought they won would be upset with a draw! ;)

It is the coverage they need more of. Get on ESPN's ass and get fights back on there regularly. Practicly every night, there is a good fight somewhere. This would get more ppl interested. I am sure there are a lot of great fighters that none of us have heard about, hell, the Asian Sensation doesn't get any coverage either.

According to the boxing schedule that I depend on there IS usually a fight (or two) just about every night; just so many of them arent televised! :(

Was last night's fight commercial-interrupted? I had to work - when I go to my buddy's house to watch the Tszyu fight, I'm sure he'll have it on his Tivo and I can check it out Tomorrow.

I like how Fox Sports showed the whole Toney fight without interruption. That would make ESPN2's deal seem a lot more classy I think if immediately after the bell I didn't see an erectile dysfunction ad followed by a Miller High Life Ad, then the next round...
