Comments Thread For: John Jackson-Willie Nelson Set For Chavez-Martinez Bill

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

ST. LOUIS - Boxing is a risk-and-reward business. A successful gamble this past May ultimately positioned top prospect Willie "The Great" Nelson (18-1-1, 11 KOs) against undefeated John "Dah Rock" Jackson (13-0, 12 KOs) on September 15 for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) super welterweight title.

Nelson vs. Jackson will be part of the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. HBO Pay-Per-View event, presented by Top Rank and DiBella Entertainment, live from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Last May, Nelson agreed to be a late replacement-on only 11 days notice to fight-for highly-touted, previously unbeaten Cuban fighter Yudel Jhonson (12-0) on ShoBox. Nelson dropped Jhonson in the second round en route to upsetting the 2004 Olympic silver medalist by way unanimous 10-round decision (97-92, 97-92, 95-94). [Click Here To Read More]

I like willie nelson. A very exciting fighter who gets hit going up against a hard hitter

[The Future]

Awesome. The undercard has actually turned out decent. Less name guys then the GBP card but action wise I think it will be identical.

With rigo not fighting it left robert with oscar which is a better action fight.

Happy I will be there live!!!

They better put on a hell of an undercard because Sergio won't last past 6.

[ddangerous]

Sergio by KO or wide UD. I think Jr. is getting outclassed.

John Jackson in 3

Willie Nelson will become John Jackson's next knock out victim. Guranteed. He can try to use his reach but is only 2 inches taller than John and can't handle his power. GAME - SET -MATCH!!!
