lightweight championship boxing match tonight

.

it's a really great Lightweight Championship fight tonight
I don't think I've ever been interested in a lightweight fight before - but I am interested in this one
these guys weigh only 135 - amazing how strong they look for weighing so little

undefeated - 29-0 - Devin Haney - vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko - 17-2

these guys are really quick

lomachenko needs to start MUCH faster than he did against lopez (the other "big 4" member he fought) and to me seems too small for this weight class. maybe he should have fought stevenson first?

thursday's wbc championship at t-mobile was abysmal and stevenson may even have lost if the other guy had any ability to cut off the ring.

Any of you fight fans remember Tuesday Night Fights on USA Today?
A lot of fights had guys fighting each other, both with losing records. Some of them had accumulated a good amount of fights. I quickly became an expert at predicting the outcome in the first minute. I was freshly divorced with two long term friends as roommates, I would even give odds, it was a nice way to at least get free pizza and beer. The guys started thinking the fights were not live and I knew the results, that was not the case.
