I know there is always controversy in Texas but I think the best boxing fans in reside in Texas and I think there will continue to be fights here. In the last year Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have all had big fights. Where else could Berto from Florida and Karass from Cally draw 9 thousand fans. Mikey Garcia and JuanMa fought in front of about 6k in Dallas and that was with one fighter from Dallas in a 4 round undercard. Houston drew a nice crowd for Donairre and let's not forget Canelo fought in front of 40,000 and Pacquiao in front of over 50,000 in Texas!
Gbp is doing his part, unfortunately we got the shiatty end of the deal over here in dallas, only one good fight (mickey vs juanma) while san antone got the card of the decade... I shouldn't move from san antone, I knew it was a decision I was gonna regret someday.. lol
Texas has great fight fans but make no mistake promotors go there for 2 reasons.
1. Home cooking. The A-Side fighter will always be protected and/or given tremendous amounts of good fortune to come away victorious. Whether it be "forgetting" to be given pee test, crooked judges, or crooked refs the only way the A Sider loses is almost always by KO.
Personally I think it's Houston followed by San Antonio, as far as the best boxing cities in Texas.
I agree BK mahhomie. I was up in DC this past weekend, but if I was home, you bet your a$$ I woulda been up in the AT&T with the Mrs. Chief enjoying the fights. We went to the Canelo/Trout, and will be at any other fights that hit the Countdown. The H is the biggest fight town in the Great State fasho, but we on the come up.
