Monster Inoue will have his hands full with both guys. Figueroa may even be a more difficult matchup for the Monster.

Sad to see Roberto Diaz leave GBP. The undercard’s he put together were typically entertaining.

Although Ioka vs Nakatani is a great fight, and something Ioka can't avoid, I'm a bit disappointed that Ioka wasn't able to fight either Estrada, Chocolatito or Bam.

If Ioka beats Junto then hopefully one of these big fights will be next.

Dan "the straight dope man" Raffy.......

Good stuff all the news that is fit for print in the fight game, going to have some interesting fights appearing on the screen soon enough. I used to look at Fig and think no way, but every fight early on convinced me he is a real fighter not afraid to mix it up not afraid to get hit and return fire just when he looks beat he comes back at you. Good for Showtimes it is on regular showtimes right ? Sure it is this not G.Davis picking pockets is it ? Nope. People complained that they had to wait for the main over the weekend and then G.Davis still had to take four rounds to get warmed up. Anyhow Diaz was and still is a good ambassador for boxing, he is a decent match maker and he talks with people no matter where they are or what stage they are in the boxing game. I witnessed that and respect that. Keep the information coming Dan always good when there is nothing to dispute just get the facts and put them out there, the way it used to be in the fighters game..

Ahh Big George. He pulled off the greatest and hardest worked comebacks in any sport ever. At 40+, he’d throw a punch at the end of round two and it would likely wiz by his opponents head around :30 into round three. But man! If it landed!

He went from a sullen bully to a friendly big smiling preacher, burger fryer hawker, father of four boys named George, kooky ringside, commentator, and of course world champ, which just seemed so unlikely when he started his come back. Amazing story amazing man.
