Me too. This has been a solid season for FNF.

I hope Usmanee can pull off the upset if anyone is deserving to be a champ he is. Not that Mendez isn't, he earned his title and I like Mendez as a fighter. But I'm definitely pulling for the underdog here.

This should be a good card, rolling with Usmanee in this fight.

Tyson looking like he is in good shape as well.

Boxing justice. Usmanee was robbed earlier this year but is getting a title shot before Barthelemy.

I view Mendez Usmanee as a pretty even fight and if Usmanee wins it isn't that big of a upset IMO. I'm definitely pulling for him


And Ward looks like he's staying in decent shape too.

Mendez looked seriously improved last time around, although he falls apart a little and last time it didn't go long enough to test his stamina.

This undercard is interesting also. I've seen several posters hype this Cuellar, really hard to tell why based looking at his boxrec.

I've always liked Mendez, looking forward to this fight.

He did look improved, but part of me thinks Salgado made him look good. Salgado's best win is probably over Linares. Besides that he has struggled and barely retained his belt every time he's fought since Uchiyama knocked him out. Salgado barely beat Mendez in the first fight and barely scrapped by Honorio. He beat Barros soundly but Barros best win was a gift decision over Caballero.

I've been wanting to see Marrero. Watched a vid of him sparring Mendez and that's about it.

FNF is the hub for upsets... let's see if it'll happen again
