Comments Thread For: ESPN Friday Night Fights: Two Finals and a Finale

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This Friday, ESPN2 (10 PM EST/7 PM PST) brings boxing fans the finals of the 2015 Boxcino tournaments at Jr. Middleweight and Heavyweight.

They also bring us the end of an era.

There has long been boxing on ESPN and that doesn’t end this week. Al Haymon’s PBC will take the reins at the ‘worldwide leader’ later this year and we’ll see where that goes. Boxing will go on.

“Friday Night Fights” as we have known it will be no more. If that provokes some feelings of melancholy or a touch of sentimentality, well, good. The show that launched in 1998 has gone through various changes over the years and there have been some bad nights.

GGG is targeting the Adams-Thompson winner. He loves fighting those Boxcino champs.

FNF has been awful for a while now. I now DVR it, and leave my house on friday night.


it's still unfortunate that we don't have this opportunity to watch up and comers, and for those up and comers to get TV fight experience.

EsPN2 will fall off the planet. There is too much on tv for people to turn in to poker tourneys and arm wrestling. And boxing fans will just go elsewhere.
