Not a bad replacement for 4 weeks notice. Not sure who else he could have fought that would be ready in the 154 division. Everyone seems to be busy or injured.
Much rather would have had Julio, but Powell isn't "that" bad of a replacement.
NBC is finding out how hard it is to promote boxing events with how frequently fighters pull the plug on the fights. No wonder the sport fell off network airwaves for years.
It's still a good match-up, but I'll never uderstand why those guys from NBC rejected Clottey as an opponent. I guess they want to promote american fighters rather than see him loosing to guy from Ghana?
they sw his 2 patheic efforts vs Cotto/Pac & didn't want 2 settle 4 a survivor w/earmuffs around his head...
