[Surge]

Damn that round was insane

 

[Hands of Stone]

Who'd imagine a former FW would have this type of chin.

 

[illmatic22]

Sweet Science at it's best folks. Can't go protect yourself with a takedown here.

 

[Pop]

Damn good fight

 

[RBH]

The sweet science.

You were saying?

 

[ramuh]

Guerrero can take a beating.

 

[Discotheque]

do these losers boo whenever anybody tries to evade for a few seconds? god damn shut the hell up crowd.

 

[ramuh]

Made it to all 12 rounds.

 

[Syphon Filter]

robert back like mack, got keith shook

 

[The Lone Courier]

Damn Guerrero not giving him an inch.

 

[Pop]

The ghost has heart

 

[Discotheque]

thurman won this but guerrero has extreme will for sure.

 

[ramuh]

Jesus. That was a good bout.

 

[abuC]

This sums them up

 

[illmatic22]

Easy fight to score, but what an effort by Guerrero.

 

[Syphon Filter]

dam guerrero should have been like that from the get go. that is the guerrero i know.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

We really need a new Fight Nght for PS4 and Xbox One.

 

[soundahfekz]

Shit that was better than some recent ppvs

 

[BadAss2961]

Good fight. Wish we had 15 rounds.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Good fight. Impressed by Guerreros heart.

 

[kodecraft]

Guerrero going out strong, hero effort!

 

[JLG-]

Great fight.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Always happy to hear The Heavy.

I say this like every damn day. EA gotta stop messing around.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

One Time got a solid test and passed.

 

[RBH]

Abner Mares vs. Arturo Santos Reyes will air on NBCSN now.

 

[The Lone Courier]

We really need a new Fight Nght for PS4 and Xbox One.

Agreed.

 

[FreddieQuell]

You were saying?

Haha, this was definitely a better fight than the first.

 

[kodecraft]

Abner Mares vs. Arturo Santos Reyes will air on NBCSN now.

Cool.

 

[Prompto]

Great fight. I hope this does well in the ratings.

 

[The Wraith]

Damn it's nice to have boxing back on OTA TV. One time Thurman put on a clinic. Guerrero has heart.

 

[illmatic22]

Switching over to NBCSN, heck of a fight. I look forward to the upcoming PBC events.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Guerrero's dad/trainer looks like he's gonna leave the arena and go straight to a low rider convention.

 

[braves01]

That was a good a fight, though I only caught through the first 9 rounds. So is this going to be a regular Saturday event for a couple months each year or what? Always read the OP.

 

[abuC]

Switching over to NBCSN, heck of a fight. I look forward to the upcoming PBC events.

Same here, this was really good, there will be fights on during the afternoon too.

 

[jayvo]

Good fights! Commentators were terrible though. Or I may just be spoiled by the HBO and Showtime commentators. Quite a few times one of the commentators mentioned a punch missing when it CLEARLY landed.

Sugar Ray is awful.

Give them some time. I'm sure if the rating are good and this keeps going on they will improve the commentating team.

 

[manzoman96]

Thurman and Gurrero was hype! I'm sold on this primetime boxing.

 

[RBH]

 

[abuC]

Sugar Ray is awful.

They need Paulie


And Marv was calling out some pretty questionable shots, he was going crazy over stuff that wasn't landing half the time. Al Bernstein should be doing the commentary with Paulie to be honest.

 

[Turin]

Pretty nice main event. Keith has some things to work on. Guerrero shows heart as always.

And yeah, Ray is an absolutely horrendous commentator. I love that guy but he's more suited as a cohost if anything.

We really need a new Fight Nght for PS4 and Xbox One.

Hell yes.

 

[_illmatic_]

I enjoyed it. Just wish they could have their own intro music.

Presentation needs work. Shorten the build up time between fights, get rid of the cheesy gladiator entrances and less commercials between rounds. We don't need commercials at the end of every fucking round.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Guerrero v Thurman was a brilliant ME for the NBC segment. Will definitely remind people that boxing can still be action packed. And while Sugar Ray isn't the greatest on the calls, he's also a great choice simply because he's an American Legend. These shows have to draw for this broadcast channel plan to work and to do that it has to engage casual viewers. Fights that are wars and recognizable names on the calls will help that.

They need commercials for revenue brah. And it's one, thirty second commercial. Hardly an intrusion.

They can easily fill some of that time by shortening the build up between fights. We don't need to sit through 15 minutes of backstory and Ray Leonard talking bullshit.

They need the build up to introduce the casual audience to the fighters. Established boxing fans will find it tedious but if you want boxing to make a long lasting return to Broadcast Channels then they need to grab casual viewers. And if they can do that, it can be a shot in the arm of the entire sport as MMA's surge of popularity pulled a lot of those casual fans away. So these cards (specifically the NBC cards) need to pull in casuals and give them a crash course on why they should care about these fighters in addition to putting on fights that are flashier and more war-like with visible names on the calls and analysis (Sugar Ray Leonard/Leila Ali).

The fights are going to be the fights regardless but the packaging needs to bring that new blood in, in order to survive and flourish.

If Haymon controlled the ad inventory they must've lost their ass tonight. Everything was NBC and PBC commercials, at least on my end. Maybe they need a round of ratings to sell against, or something...
