Do you miss this program and how would you rate it compared to the new espn stuff?
ESPN Friday Night Fights

People forget how **** Friday Night Fights had gotten towards the end, tbh. Outside of Chris Algieri's build to the Provodnikov fight, the fights were largely skunk mismatches.
You can hear the energy difference the moment that Joe/Teddy got real fights to call on ESPN with the PBC move (and the freedom to simply call the fights as they saw them)
Fast forward to now, the names are somewhat better, but the matchups are basically back to Friday Night Fights-level, with the crew now leaned on to call the fights a certain way (rather than simply calling the fights).
[From simply a fight fan's perspective, Joe/Teddy/Bradley could've grown into a great team, with Brian Kenny and Andre Ward hosting, and Kriegel doing the backstage interviews/pieces]Comment
