I am gonna go and bring an expensive lens (24-70mm 2.8) to catch the action if possible.

God I hope these fights are good.

Anxious to see how Jacobs looks. I think Dirrell might blow Jack out.

Not sure about the Dirrell-Jack fight but I think Truax is definitely a live underdog. The undercard will have Spzilka and Garcia

Yeah if Spzilka is fighting maybe Fonfara will be there. Him and his trainer are pretty cool to talk to. He's probably still on cloud 9.

I know warp1432 will be there. He is always ringside because he is a "boxing writer".

I feel like Anthony Dirrell is a tough out for anyone at 68. Truax did beat Don George who isn't great but he can punch. It's good Jacobs is getting off the shelf and taking on challenges again. Will be rooting for him.

I would agree with that..... Truax is his biggest test since Pirog.

I was about to say that. Watching the VICE series on Youtube about Danny getting ready for the Fletcher fight, he had a really difficult time making 160 and he had to take something out of him. He's been handled so carefully and fights so infrequently during his comeback, makes it hard to believe in him as a top level fighter. Then again Truax had a bad night vs Ossie Duran.



People are quick to write off Badu Jack due to his 1st round KO loss to Derek Edwards, but I think he's much better than that. Outside of Bika, Anthony hasn't shown alot and he's been out of the ring 8 months. I think this is a close fight with just an edge to Dirrell (for political reasons as much as anything).
