I'm so starved for some good boxing. I'm not seeing much here. Well, maybe next week. Or the week after.

Great card.

Torrez and Vianello are both young and top 20, making them valuable commodities.
Vianello, the Italian champion, has lost by a cut to Rice, and should have been given the nod against Ajagba; but it is Torrez who is creating a stir in the division as the best American to come along since Wilder.


Joe Joyce has smashing knockouts over both DDD and Joseph Parker, who are one and two at the moment under the champion; and Filip Hrgovic, not too many months ago, was many people's pick for the face of the future.

Wow I had the opposite impression reading how many decent cards are on this weekend - two different HW cards, two other Friday cards, the Alimkhanuly card. Tzyzu coming back. You can find a lot of good boxing up and down these low profile cards.

Joyce getting battered will be entertaining, just hope he doesn't get that badly hurt.

I'm not seeing any competitive matches. You think Alimkhanuly and Tzyzu are in competitive fights here? Joyce isn't washed? Come on now....it's supposed to be a sport, right?

ProBox card looks decent (they usually are). Torrez/Vianello is an interesting scrap. Guido may not be the most skilled but he won't come in and lay down like a lot of Torrez' previous opponents. Probably the first fight in the Olympian's career where there is a chance he could lose.

Torrez can be hit and Guido has enough boxing skills to lose closely to Ajagba and enough power to stop Makhmudov.

Nice undercard fight with Delgado and Rodriguez.

I've seen some highlights of Torrez' fights. He's demolished some nobodies who could not box. He, himself can't box, lacks precision etc. He's very strong truth to be told. But Vianello will smoke him.

All depends how Guido takes those shots
Efe had him on ***** street and I don’t view Efe as very good
I also think he got robbed in that fight

I think Hrgovic has the goods, but his management and trainer need to be aligned. And he has to take boxing seriously. The second part is on him.
