I miss Tuesday Night and Friday Night Fights

We still have plenty of fights on Fridays but I would love if ESPN/DAZN etc would do cards on a Wednesday or Tuesday more often . Especially now with so many cards to choose from during the weekends . ESPN + For example got a card this Saturday that nobody going to watch with Denys Berinchyk vs Isa amongst others . At same time there will be DAZN card with matchroom that everyone will be tuning into instead. This would've been perfect for Tuesday-Wednesday . DAZN should start a series on Wednesdays for woman , call it ladies night or w.e lol . Just pure woman's fights would be low budget but I'm sure many subscribers would enjoy into they could get til to keep em satisfied til Weekend.

Yea man,I miss Teddy and Friday night fights. Met him here locally for a couple of them.Guy was as humble and personable as can be....Tessitore was a different story,dudes a prick. Was hoping when PBC launched that they would venture into a mid week series with thier whole "bringing boxing back to free tv" motto...but no dice unfortunately. Although they did attempt a brief lived thursday or Tuesday series didn't they? I was at Turning Stone when Teddy made HOF. The dude literally hugged everyone on his way to the ring. It was pretty endearing but at the same time it was like, 'c'mon Teddy, lets get going don't stall the whole ceremony'

Boxing Fans SUCK so they cancel all these shows because NOBODY watch them and Ratings do Poorly! Ring City on NBC Sports was AWESOME, the Setup was nice with them doing fights at Freddie Roach WildCard Gym... {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","title":"Ring-City-USA2.png","data-attachmentid":31227728} nobody was watching it, you guys wasn't posting about it, the Live Fight Thread would be dry with not too many people in it talking about the fight so yeah these Networks have ZERO interest in Invest more into Boxing because Boxing Fans F^CKING SUCK but overall it is just not many real true Hardcore Boxing Fans at least not enough to draw ratings to show Networks that people are interested

‍♂️same here. Hbo and showtime, along with espn fight night....

Yeah seems like those gritty east coast crossroad/rivalry fights are a missing element. FNF did those well. UK does the domestic fights better these days it sees, I can get into those even from here. It can still be a local thing...you have prove you the best guy in your gym, city, territory before you can say you're the best in the world, dressed down production, small/medium sized venues. Some of these dudes need to already be in the ring when TV comes back from commercial, they don't all get a televised ring walk or packaged promo...30 secs at most and maybe a few words prefight and afterward. I'll find out who they are in the ring Sean O'Grady from TNF, one of my favorite commentators, I learned a lot from him as a real young fan I liked the brief stint Ring City had this last year, there were some good fights I thought. Brandon Adams KO of unbeaten Bohachuk Baez brothers Charles Conwell Angel Fierro TKO of Alberto Machado they had some Puerto Rican prospect who got a KO Tanajara I loved the regional matchups that ESPN used to air. You'd get alot of Canadian and New England rivalries throughout the years. Occasionally there would be an all-Philly fight at the Blue Horizon. Pittsburgh's Spadafora had a great fight against Cleveland's Mike Griffith in a battle of nearby cities. The venues would be packed out with fans for each fighter which would always make the broadcast that much better. Ring City recaptured some of that "gritty" local vibe as you put it. The Fierro/Machado fight was awesome, especially with the Caribbean feel. I hope they continue that series and expand it.

Says Roger Clemens ringside to teddy: "man Irwin be taking a lot of heavy shots from Diaz, teddy can you train me?" Teddy:" yeah pack your bags and come to New York" lol. As they both watched an amazing one sided beat down from Juan Diaz whooping on Billy the kid. My uncle watched that fight with me, he said "I'd just like to see Billy turn it around and knock out the other fella just for the heck of it. " Back when our buddy up the road had satelitte around the Vitali and wlad (first time around for Vitali anyway) era. Didn't miss a fight starting with toney- Holyfield. What a semi golden age for heavys under don King like or non alike. Me uncle would buy a case of beer everytime up there, he was pissed if the fight wouldn't show!!! Lol, good times

Although they did attempt a brief lived thursday or Tuesday series didn't they? It's always interesting to hear people's personal experiences dealing with some of the notables in the sport. Crazy about Tessitore. I've had opportunities to have conversations with Floyd Mayweather, Jr and Marvis Frazier. Both were very nice and polite. Saw Malignaggi at a fight and he was also a decent guy.

Omar Weis, white Latino, beat up Hector Camacho junior. Takumbo alajide the trumpet player had some power in both hands. Back when Juan Diaz - lavka sim was a ppv. Fights from the playboy mansion. Heck Billy Irwin was on there a couple of times.,. Not to drown out THE IN STUDIO work from max and Brian Kenny. That was a nice segment with Jameel mccline and Kirk Johnson showed up during old interview. Also cool when buddy McGirt flashed his boxing IQ from being Arturo Gatti s (rip) trainer. Rest in peace to the Tuesday night fight Scott LeDoux as well! Oh man, you hit so many good ones with this post. I loved Omar Weis, he was a tough but skilled boxer. He lit up Camacho, Jr. I went to one of those ESPN cards when Camacho, Jr. fought Bryon Mackie. It was a terrible card but still a blast to watch in person. I always thought Tokunbo Olajide could have gone further, he kind of just disappeared. He did have some pop. Lavka Sim and Billy Irwin are two other names I forgot about. Lastlyz great shout out to the Fighting Frenchman Scott Ledoux. He was a great fill-in commentator, he was humble and funny.

I think the days of teddy went away after he "stuck up for Manny Pacquiao" in Jeff horn loss. People just don't see how endearing he can be to the casuals. Imo he shoulda been around more fights. It's funny that you mention it, but teddy in his book/ novel calls Joe tessitore a "always a gentleman" lol but myself sure can't stand him either! Lol yea,Tessitore is a douche,acted like his shiet didn't stink. I don't know,maybe he was having a bad day or whatever but dude wanted no part of interacting or conversing with anyone that day.
