I have the feeling Granados takes this one! The kid deserves it!

They need to stop putting Easter and Granados on television.

This is a Damn good card. I think granados is going to smother and out work Easter and gausha is going to make lubin look like a gate keeper. I'm definitely watching this one

I like both those fights.

I would've rather seen Lubin vs. Lara or Castano, but Gausha will do! It's about damn time Easter Jr. moved up to 140! I like this fight because it's do or die for both of them!

Oh Easter Vs Granados is intriguing. I guess he realised he couldn't really capture a belt at 135lbs anymore with Loma there and that fail Vs Barthelemy.

Rau'shee Warren Vs Manny Rodriguez and Gausha Vs Lubin are solid too....I like this card

Granados beats Easter...bank it...Easter is Amir Imam 2.0 ...if he can keep you at range, and make it a pretty boxing match, an exhibition of the "sweet science", he'll box your ears off. Get inside and turn it ugly, he's got nothing for that but to turtle up.

Granados will either knock him out, or outwork him. Danny Garcia is from Philly...in other words, he can FIGHT, if you plan on doing something other than that boxing thing . Granados wasnt going to walk through Garcia, but he WILL with Easter.

The changing landscape of televised boxing. Just a couple of years ago, it used to be HBO and Showtime, with a side serving of a (usually) forgettable ESPN show.

HBO dropped out, which caused me to cancel my subscription to that network, and finally give STARZ a shot. Showtime is slowing down as well. If you dont include the ShowBox cards.

The top two at the moment are FOX and ESPN. Good and bad. Seems to be more frequency in the number of shows. Boom Boom on FOX, "OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!" .....his favoritism towards walk-down brawlers ...overall, the commentary is more fun.

The one drawback is, Showtime and HBO were top notch as far as picture quality. They broadcast at 1080 high def, while FOX and ESPN are doing some form of 720. You can tell a 1080 broadcast, because of things like the glistening beads of sweat, water, and strands of hair. Bad cuts luck very graphic. 720 has a "softer", less sharp look.

I'll take the increase in shows over the quality of the camera though.

Glad to see Showtime coming out with their fall schedule. Oct 26th will be a nice day for boxing.
