I guess we have to wait a few weeks to see Khan get knocked out.

Nevertheless:

At The Desert Diamond Casino, Tucson, AZ
(ESPN2) Daniel Jacobs (16-0) vs. George Walton (20-3)
(ESPN2) Erislandy Lara (6-0) vs. Willie Lee (16-5)
(ESPN2) Deontay Wilder (5-0) vs. Kelsey Arnold (1-2-2)



Lara back in action, RIP Willie Lee. Good card overall, like when FNF showcases the up and coming talent, kind of like ShoBox.

FYI, the Abraham/Oral (pause) fight is on Showtime tomorro night.;

Anyone know, havent read as of yet, if they replaced the Juarez v. John fight with another or are they just going to broadcast Ortiz?

 

[eagle 0n]

I think they're just showing the Ortiz fight.

 

[proshares]

It's just going to be Ortiz getting cracked open tomorrow. I'm looking forward to all these undefeated kids fighting tonight.

 

[gunna get it]

Erislandy!

 

[proshares]

In Dan's notebook today they say Paul is either going to fight Mosley @ 147 or Drzuifsa;jdfka @ 154.

 

[gunna get it]

Shane's scared. He's already lost that fight before he even stepped in the ring

 

[proshares]

I want to see if he's real with all his talk about "he'd fight Paul" and if he'll seriously step into that ring. He's always foughtthe best so I think I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I like the fight at 154 a lot better though.

LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather's return to boxing is back on.

The flamboyant former pound-for-pound king was scheduled to fight Juan Manuel Marquez next month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but his return from a brief retirement was postponed after he injured a rib training.

Mayweather has been cleared by doctors and the fight has been rescheduled for Sept. 19 at the MGM Grand. That means Marquez, who is wildly popular in his native Mexico, will be fighting the weekend after Mexico's Independence Day.

Mayweather told fans in a statement to "hold on to their hats and sombreros when I get back in the ring and show what they have been missing these past 18 months

Paul Williams (37-1, 27 KOs) is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world and a guy who says he can campaign in any of three divisions: welterweight, junior middleweight or middleweight. Yet, "The Punisher" continues to find it hard to get top fighters to face him, especially in the wake of his lopsided decision win against former undisputed junior middleweight champ Winky Wright, whom he fought at middleweight in April in a fight that tied for HBO's biggest boxing rating of the year so far.

Dan Goossen, Williams' promoter, would love to match him with welterweight champ Shane Mosley, be it at 147 or 154 pounds. Mosley, of course, has been campaigning for a fight with Manny Pacquiao, but that looks unlikely.

It's not easy landing a fight when you've done this to Winky Wright.

"Our No. 1 choice has always been Shane Mosley. He's the welterweight champ," Goossen said. "Paul wants to go back to welterweight if he can get that kind of fight. Unfortunately, we had Shane ringside that night against Winky and I don't think that played in our favor after he saw what Paul could do."

If they can't get Mosley to take the fight, Goossen said they would look possibly to face junior middleweight titlist Sergei Dzindziruk (36-0, 22 KOs), who is from Ukraine and based in Germany. Williams holds an interim junior middleweight belt and is Dzindziruk's mandatory challenger, so the bout would be relatively easy to make.

"If Shane says no, we go to Dzindziruk. It's a tough fight and a meaningful fight," Goossen said. "We tried to get Bernard Hopkins [at about 170 pounds], but Bernard has decided to sit back. We want the biggest fight we can make."

Ideally, Williams will be back in the ring in September, but it will depend on HBO's schedule. HBO is also not too warm on the idea of a Dzindziruk fight, preferring instead that Williams face either Joshua Clottey or Kermit Cintron.

Incidentally, Dzindziruk promoter Universum told ESPN.com that Dzindziruk is ready, willing and able to come to America for a fight with Williams in the fall

Lara is not fighting today according to Rafael. He didn't get his P1 Visa in time which he needs to fight in AZ so he's out.

 

[gunna get it]

What! That's wak!

Goosen a fool

Yall was right, Paul def gonna have no one wanna fight him after he did Winky like that

 

[stringer bell 32]

Paul is gonna have to learn to be a middleweight

 

[proshares]

What's whack is that fool in your avy.

(I joke but you better hope that thread didn't jinx him

)

I'd love to see Paul fight Dzuisjfek then someone like a Sturm then take on the winner of Pavlik/Abraham.

I honestly don't see him last at 168 if he decides to go up that far.

 

[gunna get it]

I dont mess with Felix, he scared to fight Pavlik and Arthur...

at least the PBF/JMM is back on tap.

JMM gonna work them Ribs over now HAHA

 

[proshares]

They're talking about Sturm possibly facing Pavlik in October if he wins his fight in July. Arum says Mora is all but out of the running.
