After seeing the Pitbull take out Patrick Lopez, I think he can put Vernon to sleep. Hopefully they keep the excitement from the lobby and carry it into the ring.
Damn what a fight. Forrest needs to learn some defensive dicipline... But other than that, he really does have the tools to be elite. Let's see what a trainer like Floyd Sr can do for his career. I think his best bet would be to transition from Floyd Sr to Roger just so he can get the same training Floyd has, becuz he does have very similar talent to Floyd, if slightly watered down (especially at this early stage)
Don't forget there is also Armenian Art Hovhannisyan and Cuban Luis Franco fighting on the undercard.
Dunno who to pick on the main event, Vernon is a way better boxer than Tim Coleman but has no power and gasses out something bad but Coleman has power even though his record lacks it and doesn't gas.
Paris' style does not please me, but it wins fights. I also think he has a poor character and brings nothing in entertainment value, the way fighters like Ali, Tyson, Floyd, Pacquiao, Cotto, etc... bring... He is just a thug with a ****ty attitude who abuses drugs but finds ways to win fights.
I would like to see Coleman win but I read in an interview not too long ago that he was still over 150 pounds. He is going to come into the ring drained, without a doubt. That's going to be the difference maker. It would be nice if he were in prime condition but I just don't see how he can lose 10 pounds in a week or so and be ready to scrap for more than a few rounds.
I'm excited for this fight too though.
I don't really think Coleman is good, and on a normal day I'd pick Paris. BUT so many 0's have gone on FNF that I just might have to go with Coleman this time.
What channel is showing the fight?
ESPN2. I might not get to see it live so i'm going to avoid spoilers and get a copy from Obammy.
They seem to really hate each other so I'm curious to see if they will still hate each other when that bell rings.
You know what they say "I went to a boxing match and a fight broke out"
