Short and sweet in this summer heat!
On July 12, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, it looks like a great card promoted by Golden Boy and shown on ShowTime PPV.
The fight is for the WBC/WBA super welterweight title and this is a fight card I would definitely buy (since I am limited to go in person).
Saul Canelo Alvarez, who suffered his only loss in 45 fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr., takes on dangerous southpaw Erislandy Lara who has only lost to Paul Williams by a very close decision 레인맨.
Alvarez, who has been known to never turn down a fight is only 23 years old and boats a 43-1-1 record with 31 knockouts.
Lara, 12-1-2 (12), has fought some names despite his age (31) and is a tough southpaw fighter from Cuba, not the kind that most fighters want to face. But Alvarez doesn’t seem to be worried about the fight, but should he?
Besides being a southpaw, Lara has a big reach advantage and will use it to play hit and run with Alvarez the entire match.
This could be a good fight for an upset, particularly if Alvarez decides to mix it up with the long armed Cuban.
This fight is not an easy pick for me extjs 엑셀. I can see Lara being stopped or winning a unanimous decision. It’s just that difficult a fight to pick,
Pick a must, as it’s in my job description (sort of). Okay a clash of heads stops the bout and brings this fight to the scorecards and the winner is the likely aggressor, Alvarez.
Prayers requested for the recovery of friend Lora Martz from a broken leg.
I request prayers for the full recovery from a couple of serious surgeries for my long-time friends Doni Uren.
Another friend who is in need of prayers and recovering from surgery is Roger Davidson 다운로드. Prayers for his quick recovery are very much appreciated,
I’m also sad to announce that another long time friend, Doug Tucker, ringside judge, is ailing and can sure use some prayers.
Also in need of your continuing prayers is Russian heavyweight Magomed Abdusada who was seriously injured in a fight, but with the heart of a champion, he is rallying.
Prayers and a very special request goes out to long-time fight judge Harold Lederman who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and removed from some of his duties at HBO. The special request is for you to e-mail or call HBO and ask that he be returned to his post as quickly as possible. Harold is an old friend who certainly deserves better treatment than this.
Gary Balleto, Charles Rainier and former champ Wilfredo Gomez have been ailing so prayers are requested.
There are continuing reports that 72 year old great Muhammad Ali is not doing well.
Prayers for the return to health of outstanding boxing guys Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos. Alex has done much to improve the welfare of retired boxers. Your prayers for him have worked in the past. Alex is still facing some serious obstacles.
Young ex-champ Paul Williams was involved in a motorcycle accident and needs your prayers for a full recovery. Reports indicate that he is improving.
Prayers also requested for the recovery of former champ Rocky Lockridge.
Also prayers for the recovery of outstanding Hall of Fame referee Mills Lane and Denis and David Wilcox.
Please say prayers for Phill Grazide of Santa Rosa, CA. a big supporter of amateur boxing, who is suffering the crippling effects of rheumatoid arthritis.
Also in need of prayers for the return to health is former champ Gerald McClellan, who is legally blind and confined to a wheelchair.
