    Jirov, Butterbean and Simon Land on 3/9 Card

    The Telegram Gazette reports that big boxing card is coming to The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts, featuring former cruiserweight champion Vassily Jirov (36-3-1, 30 KOs), Eric "Butterbean" Esch (75-7-4, 56 KOs) and undefeated super middleweight Harry “The Terminator” Simon of Namibia (23-0-0, 17). Simon has not fought since 2002 due to injuries sustained in a serious car accident. [details]

    I am suprised to see Simon back. He was looking like a force after his win over Wright. But after 4 yrs off, it might not look good. How have they found 75 guys Butterbean could beat?

      This is right in my backyard; I might have to check it out. Never seen Butterbean or Jirov in person.

            Where has Jirov been??? Hes really been going downhill ever since his loss to Toney and then he got knocked out by an over the hill Michael Moorer while he was winning the fight, I dont know if hes got anything else left...

              Yeah he's definitely shot. He's been hit too many times and the Toney fight ruined him.

                He is my current favorite fighter (yup, I stick by em) and I've got to say, no chance in hell he has anything left. I hope he gets a couple more easy fights/paychecks and then retires.

                Lots of lost potential there.

                    What a waste of talent in Jirov, after being a champ for so many years, being on the undercard of Butterbean. I hope he comes back one day, he was a great fighter.
