Official: GBP on ESPN2- Antonio Orozco VS Keandre Gibson RBR Thread

[bigjavi973]

They tape delayed the fight on ESPN2 at 11pm to avoid final 4. Aired live ESPN deportes and live on ESPN3. Good fights

Ah crap i didnt know that im here watching matrix

Turned on ESPN2 thinking maybe I'd catch the end of the main event, instead it's the middle of the Gesta fight and I'm like WTF. Then came here and found out the truth. I guess Orozco should go for that title shot. Without seeing how he did tonight, I don't think he has a chance against Crawford, but it's not like there's a bunch of better options at 140 and really nowhere else for Orozco to go. If he gets dominated by Crawford, it probably doesn't really change his stock, so it's a bit of a no-lose in a way. Can't think of any other natural, big fights for him, so might as well challenge the big dog and see what comes out of it.

On second thought, I'd kinda like to see Orozco take on Imam. The winner of that could then have a legit claim to be the mandatory for Crawford.

Here I was thinking how cool it is that I get to watch NCAA basketball and then some live boxing afterwards.

LOL, well I didnt Know what happened anyway, so Im just Watching The Card on ESPN2 "as if" It's live anyway. All good.

That's what they should do instead of just giving imam mando again. But if he's with golden boy he won't be fighting Crawford lol

Where was Teddy?

Where was Teddy?

No clue but I enjoyed the broadcast better without him. Teddy and Hopkins don't mix well IMO. They seem redundant. Rather either Hopkins or teddy not both.

Really? Different strokes I guess. I kinda enjoyed the chemistry of the 3 man team (like BH is usually part of on HBO).
Both BH & TA have a lot of insight to bring in. But I see your point, maybe its better with just 1 of them.
Side note. What happened to Joe Tessitore, anybody heard? Nothing against Bernard Osuna, but JT and Teddy kinda were a good combo, IMO (as were Teddy and Bob Papa back in The Day).

I have no problem with 3 men in the booth but the 3rd voice has to be different for example 3rd man in HBO is max you get different type of feedback and perspective from max a reporter then Hopkins a fighter. Same with showtime Paulie is differ then Bernstein. It would be like if HBO had Roy and Hopkins at the same time which would be redundant. But hey it was only 1 card maybe teddy and Hopkins just need time to gell. I just felt like they were stepping on each others toes.
