    It is pretty much a push, decent enough fights that serve a purpose in clearing up the 2nd tier middleweights but I don't expect great things out of any of those 4 guys.
    Quillin Jacobs could turn out to be an entertaining fight. I just think both will land early and then it will get tentative.
    Think Lee vs Saunders will have more action.
    Both fights could end up ****ting the bed

      Quillin has like no defense but he could catch Jacobs if Jacobs fights aggressively to take advantage of that. Lee is alright and has some pop but he just never really impresses me and I think Suanders is the worst of the lot although he could end up starting fast as Lee may let that happen before finally breaking him down.

      Neither of those fights really excite me though because while the winner would be in decent position they would still be heavy underdogs against the man in the division.

        I think it said these fights were added to HBO Latino, so still a double header...but the Lee fight could still be shown on delay



        Makes no sense though to run it against their own fights... so I would guess live showing

          Forget GGG for a sec, this should be a fun evenly matched fight.

          Glad you guys get the chance to see it

            I think Quillin is going to land that left hook and knock Jacobs out

              They should.

              This will be entertaining. The thing that makes this interesting is they're both from the Gypsy/Traveller community, whatever you wan't to call it. That might not mean much for people in the USA, but in the UK it means both guys will have their communities there at the fight and there's a lot of pride at stake, both guys will be desperate not to lose this one.

              The family and community pride in their culture is based on bareknuckle fighting with arranged fights to settle any dispute. This isn't just two boxers in a boxing match, it goes well beyond that.
