If I didn't have a scheduling conflict, I'd be half tempted to attend this event. I always liked the big Swede, wished he put in a better performance against AJ but he's not quite at that level. I still think he's around a top 15 guy at HW tho.

I seriously hope that's Brice Seldon's son that's boxing and not the original Atlantic Express.

Yeah, it’s his son. They should’ve thrown the “Jr” in there

Good to see Wallin back. Hopefully he fights somebody top 50 next after that.

His one son Isah had a middling career, I think he was on some televised cards. Junior appears to have just started his professional career and is nearly 30 years old.

I was a big fan of the father, my blind homerism convinced me to wager on the upset against Mike Tyson. Didn't win that one and I think it was the same night Tupac was shot and killed.

I’ll be there

Did I read that right…BRUCE SELDON??? whhhhat?!?

[Oldskoolg]

I wonder if he will let his hands go this time unlike his last fight where he throw. I thing but a pawing pitty pat jab until he got stopped

[trippleupper]

Lartey still only 32 -- coming off a nice win vs Wawrzyk.

Did he really go from 198 to 293 in 7 months?

Looks to be Bruce Seldon, Jr. so yeah, he's written up as the son of the Tyson-era Bruce.

Speaking of attending fights in AC, what's it like there as a visitor these days? Where to stay that's safe, clean, and convenient for the event at Boardwalk Hall?
The last time I drove through AC it was a scary bombed-out post-apocalyptic place. I'm trying to think of reasons why I shouldn't go to this.
