  • I think Frank Martin is the goods – always looking forward to seeing him.

    Best wishes to Carlos Negron, get well soon, but he didn’t have much of a chance against Sanchez in my opinion. When he’s better, maybe a rematch against Breazeale? Their fight was three years ago and it’s still the last time Breazeale won a fight.

  • Hammer is better than Negron, so that’s an upgrade. Duno’s not an easy out for Martin. That’s actually a pretty good fight.

  • Frank “The Cuban Flash” Sanchez has gotten very good. Not sure theres a heavyweight that can match his style of Boxing.
    Totally exposed Efe Ajagba. So far, a sure bet for a title. Looking forward to seeing him this weekend. Sure the Rice backers arent happy about not keeping those great odds they had earlier today. Odd makers had it totally wrong this time. Coffie is the perfect style for Rice.

    • They would keep the same odds they had when they made the bet-why would they care what later odds were?

    • Exposed is a bit harsh but i agree with you Sanchez is very impressive and i can’t wait to watch him fight again !
