    Networks and the little guys

    Networks need to pick up some of these fights in the lower weight class. Guys like Segura are almost guaranteed action in a fight. Better than some of these guys the big networks put up. They deserve some network $$

    I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the segura v marquez fight. These are the kind of fights lampley gets all teary eyed for when he gets emotional. Id be all for hbo or showtime picking up a rematch between segura and marquez two or even gallito estrada vs chocolatito. Theyre not expensive fights so theres no excuse and the production value these networks provide only helps the smaller weight divisions grow.

        people have been down on HW boxing for a long time
        surprised the smaller guys don't get more love for that alone
        Sosa becoming a favorite to watch in recent yrs
        Mares was kicking ass until Gonzalez smoked him
        hope Viloria makes another comeback, his inconsistency is heartbreaking
        Segura and Marquez always light up the crowd
        screw PPV, but would like these guys to get more airtime
        they fight more and talk less, which is what boxing needs

          Wish they'd start covering the champs from Japan as well. Guys like Yamanaka and Uchiyama are a must-watch. They're both defending their respective title before 2013 ends. But unfortunately, no American network will be televising their fights.

            These little guys are the best for action. This fight was a classic. Segura Calderon were both really good fights. Concepcion vs Tyson Marquez was a great fight as well. These guys have stamina for days as well

                Non stop, back and forth aggressiveness, heart, power, knockdowns and a ko, as well as 11 full rounds of action is a great fight. I have and will always be thankful for the lowerweights. 112 is about to be stacked soon...even more so then it is now!

                  At least put them on PPV undercards. They could have probably got a good little guy fight on the Bradley/Marquez undercard for the same price as that opener between the two part time bar fighters.

                  Or even the Ward/Rodrguez card with just a one fight broadcast. Another good chance to throw a nice little scrap to open up the card.
