If there’s such a thing as too much boxing, that’s what we’re in for tonight. We’ve got big fights all over the place, and, like the revolution, they will be televised.
Our boxing guru Miguel Iturrate already previewed some of these fights earlier in the week, but here’s what I’m focusing on, barring some quick endings tonight.
So here’s my plan and we’ll see how it goes. We start the action at 9 p.m.on CBS Sports Network with Dennis Hogan (21-0-1, 7 KOs) defends his WBA-NABA U.S. Super Welterweight titlel against vs Kenny Abril (14-7-1, 7 KOs) in a 10-round fight.
After that fight, I’m switching over to TruTV to watch Gilberto Ramirez (31-0, 24 KOs) defend his WBO International Super Middleweight title against Derek Edwards (27-4-1, 14 KOs).
When that fight wraps up, we’ll land at our final destination on Showtime to watch hot young middleweight Dominic Wade (17-0, 12 KOs) put on a show against Sam Soliman (44-12, 18 KOs) for 10 rounds.
Two titles, a lot of boxing and that’s not even counting the show on Fox Sports with Alan Sanchez (15-3-1, 8 KOs) taking on Steven Claggett (21-3-1, 14 KOs) in a welterweight bout which, unless the early fights go quick, I’ll just completely miss.
Two titles on the line, a crazy-talented young guy looking to raise his profile. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night.
