    hopefully this is the last superfly card. the matchups are getting less intriguing every card
    ??

    Estrada-Rungvisai II was the most intriguing fight of the series.

    The future has possible fights between Estrada/Rungvisai/Nietes/Ioka all of whom are near the top of their games and then there's also the possibility of Estrada-Gonzalez II and Arroyo matches up well with some of these guys for good fights and maybe even Yafai.

    But yeah this sucks for Boxing.

      Don't like it, don't watch it. Sor Rungvisai will be back on the next card.

        The Superfly concept is taking a downward spiral. They could have had more scintillating matches than this. Clearly a letdown.

          Yeah, this is a bit of a letdown, but that may be bc all the previous SuperFly cards were HOT FIRE.

          Not realistic to hold it to that same standard.

          Im happy that Nietes is getting some stateside TV, but sounds like hes in soft (Im not familiar w his opponent).

          The opening bout is interesting. I remember I was pretty high on Ioka for awhile. I didnt realize that he retired. Is SuperFly too big for him? Is he too old? (How old is he?) Hopefully Arroyo doesnt move so much.

            Nietes will definitely has his hands full here. Movig up in weight, fighting a much bigger guy and puncher, palicte is also one of the philippines hot prospects who's only missing a title fight.

            Ioka retired since he has a dispute with his trainer or manager his father about his marriage to an actress.

              The two undercard bouts are solid, but this one just feels a little unbalanced overall. Not enough Mexicans maybe?

              Hopefully the next Superfly has Rungvisai vs the winner of the main event.

                Don't have any interest in this card. Nietes is fighting a nobody, Estrada is fighting a has been. Ioka-Arroyo is the only fight even marginally interesting.
