Comments Thread For: Suddenly, Promoting The 154-Pounders is a Growth Industry

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - I'm just a humble boxing writer. I periodically hop airplanes, frequently gas up cars and periodically camp out alongside a big-screen TV in order to stay on top of news from the ring. But it's high time for a midlife career change. Forget the keyboard-toting and deadline-taunting. I want to be a promoter. More specifically, I want to promote fights in the 154-pound division. And if you don't understand why, then you clearly weren't in Brooklyn or tuned into Showtime on Saturday night and into Sunday morning...

👌👍Hell yeah Ive been really impressed by Gallimore lately. Two great performances in a row where he came in as the opponent and came out with a KO victory. First was against the Dominican prospect who was being pushed by Sampson Lewkowicz. Next it was Justin Deloach who was gettin loads more hype than Gallimore even though both guys had similar 1 loss records. I think Deloach was even ranked like number 1 or 2 by the IBF but not positive about that.

And to think, Gallimore took the fight on short notice! The original opponent was Fernando Guererro!

It's a talented division. Problem is nobody wants to see them as evidenced by the ratings with <500k viewers.

You sound like a twinky with the cream filling in the middle (SOFT) when it comes to this fight game. Lions Only!!

Whatever you do, please do not mention Antonio Margarito in this company.
