" So Sure Shakur" might just be in for a fight when he steps in the ring. The Japanese fighters are the modern day "Mexican Fighters" of the past. The have a certain style and never give up or in attitude. So we will see a fight for sure with Shakur.

#2 - Zurdo v Rosado man I thought there was another Rosado out there in fight land. Really that is his next opponent ? Well it proves what I always said about him he is not on the level that demands so much respect as other guys in his division. Leave it at that. And do not give me all that Rosado is or was junk, you guys will be the first to complain if he gets beaten down for seven rounds so Zurdo the Zero can look good in the ring after being exposed.

# 3 - Quadman, remember Quad stereo ? Well it faded out as has Cuadras v Maias bout. I thought Quadman had left the building or at least tuned the turntable off. Everybody has got to make a living i get it, just dont tell me it is a exciting fight. Hope I am proved wrong but only if Maicais is some big secret weapon or has the fiht of his life in there.

# 4 - Harris (the one fluke fight) v Zoo could get interesting it is a fight that will both man the exposure they need but both are going in dif directions it will help Zoo who needs all the help he can get in the fact that he is trying to move too fast too soon. Not with Harris but anyhow interesting very interesting.

# 5 - The Hitcher is he a hitch hiker going to keep moving along slowly and an easy steady pace or will he take his last fight as a " I have arrived" sign. He has not arrived just surprised and impressed some folks who did not know him yet is all. He is good can become even more fan friendly as the time goes on if he learns how to develop the finisher style he possess just not unleashed yet. We will see, keep on the side of the road for a while "Hitcher" you time will come naturally not fabricated.

Thanks Raffy got my mind on the fights this morning. keep putting the word out there.

Whats the word ? Thurderbird -- What's the price 30 twice.. Ha Ha.

YOSHINO look out i checked into this guy I think i have seen him fight before I will check him out on the utube today or near future but the more I am learning about him the better the fight is looking. He has a solid record and can bang these are facts not fabrications everytime he has gotten into a Championship type fight he was show his power and his domination. yea i hope he shows So Sure Shakur what the Japenesse fighters are make of and the power they posses in the ring.

Zurdo-Rosado is an embarrassment and a pointless dumpster fire of a fight. Shame on all involved.

Most surprising tidbit? Main Events signed a fighter! Wasn't aware they are still promoting shows, at least not outside of ice rinks in Jersey : )

Soooooo glad Eddie Chambers is back! He was such an inspired fighter in his prime, that being 40 and a dozen years past relevance should only make him that much more exhilarating. Maybe the WBA can work him into a title fight with Fres Oquendo... oh lord.

The shakur Stevenson card looks to be pretty good!

You were just talking about Gabriel Rosato on your podcast?? Yes will put up a good fight and is not a palooka. A journeyman, but the best kind.

Daniel has TR soured on HW Sonny Conto, seems as if he isn't boxing as often as a young fighter usually is. They have plenty of cards in which he could gain valuable experience on the undercard, or is the pace they feel is best suited for him at this stage? What gives? TY
