This week, from Carson Cal. and televised on ShowTime, a very interesting and probably very exciting boxing card.

The main event features two undefeated welterweights, Kell Brook from the United Kingdom will take on Shawn Porter 다운로드.

Brook, is 28 and boast a record of 32-0 with 22 knockouts. It’s impressive but his list of foes do to qualify as a who’s who in the welterweight division. This fight will give him the recognition and acceptance that he belongs.

Porter, who is two years younger, is 24-0 with 15 knockouts, and has fought some quality foes.

Brook has a two inch height advantage, but it’s Porter with the slight edge in the reach department.

Having not seen Brook fight, it’s hard to judge how good he is, or can become 하울의 움직이는성 더빙 다운로드. But I’ve seen Porter and he definitely belongs near or at the top of the rankings.

If Brook is the real deal, he can come up big here, but I’m guessing it will take more than an impressive KO record to beat Porter. I’ll take Porter via the TKO route.***

As we all know, sometimes all the prayers in the world will not change God’s agenda. The best we can do is try.

So with much sadness, I have to announce that our friend Johnny Ortiz has left us to be with God.

Thanks Johnny for the many memories you gave to us 너의이름은 고화질. We’ll be joining you someday soon.

Please say prayers for his soul.

Also please say prayers for the soul of Argentine fighter Abel Laudinio who passed away at age 75.***
