Made this thread on ESB, thought I might as well bring it over to this neck of the woods.

Hopefully now that it's undergoing a Renaissance here I can turn it into what I intended it to be initially rather than what it turned into(which was the thread being bumped about once a week with 2/3 people watching the card live making sporadic posts regarding it). If we're looking for more writing to be on the front page we can do previews*, reviews, etc. Perhaps we could even look back on old ESPN classics? Who knows, it's a crazy show where anything can go.

One sport I could never understand what was going on in. I never really tried either to be fair.
Anyone ever notice how the chat at Marks place is always full of the biggest degenerates on the internet?

All streaming sites are like that. I just click the x right away now. Nothing worth reading ever pops up on it.
And we're on! Mike Lee vs Elisio Durazo - 4 round Cruiserweight bout.
Nice right hand by Lee to finish it but not much of anything else in that round. Like Teddy says seems to be a good body puncher or at least he goes there.
I've never been impressed by Lee. Nothing to change my mind thus far. Missing with an awful lot of 1-2's. Durazo in poor shape to say the least.
Who's that Cruiserweight, the Irish-American fella who's got a horrendously ugly style?
Poor showing by Lee. Apart from the odd right hand he isn't really impressing with much against a tailor made opponent for any prospect.

Ryan Coyne?

Gunn?
Ryan Coyne?
That'd be him. Dunno why I brought him up, but he's horrible isn't he?

I wanted to wipe my memory Men In Black-style after watching him, yes.
Lee has a decent following for an 8-0 fighter who hasn't looked great so far. He must be doing something right in his career. Teddy going on about his education like Piper does for Cleverly.
What the fuck? This is terrible. If it's scheduled for 4 rounds, you stop it after 4 rounds. Very poor. I hope Durazo lands a hail mary out of nothing now and takes Lee out in one punch. That'll show the fuckers for cheating like this.
Lee is way too tentative looks to be holding back for some reason against a real hand picked opponent. Good thing Lee has that college thing to fall back on because he sure as shit won't go far in boxing.

Im just guessing but id say part of Lees popularity is due to the fact that he was a linebacker for the University of Notre Dame. Those American footballers usually bring a good crowd and a bit of hype dont they, like that Tom Zbikowski lad.
Ah didn't know that. Had a feeling it had nothing to do with his boxing :lol: Hopefully Magdaleno after that fight.
Cue him looking terrible because I've probably jinxed him, but I really rate Magdaleno.
