Round 1: Fight!
Glory 65kg Tournament Announced at Glory 8 Tokyo.
(Some nice fighters in there, no names, but the rest of the card more than supplies that. But tournaments are awesome for making new superstars. Glory is killing it lately. 10-8 Glory.)
Round 2: Fight!
Nonito Donaire and Guillermo Rigondeaux make weight.
(This is going to be a fantastic fight! Everyone’s on and ready to go. CANNOT WAIT!! 10-8 HBO for hosting my eyeballs Saturday night after the TUF Finale.)
Round 3: Fight!
Golden Boy Promotions will run a prospect-driven weekly show on Fox Sports 1.
(Given GBP’s history with television, I’m not holding my breath for this being quality programming, but I like Fox continuing the partnership and taking an even larger slice of the pie of the combat sports world. 10-9 Fox.)
Round 4: Fight!
Lamont Peterson vs. Lucas Matthysse bout will be at a 141-lb. catchweight.
(Probably for the best, since with Peterson’s PED, ahem, irregularities, any title won might be voided anyway. Still should be a fun fight…before it’s overturned.)
