Friday Night Fights thread for June 11th

ESPN FNF comes on a little earlier tonight @ 8:30 PM EST (or around 2:30 AM Scot/limey time)

Unless it's gets changed, Big George Foreman is the guest host, I always like hearing Foreman's pearls of wisdom.

June 11
At Montreal (ESPN2): David Lemieux vs. Elvin Ayala, 12 rounds, middleweights; Sebastien Demers vs. Brian Vera., 12 rounds, super middleweights; Kevin Bizer vs. Craig Docherty, 8 rounds, welterweights; Manolis Plaitis vs. Alfredo Chavez, 8 rounds, welterweights; Patrice L'Heureux vs. Wayne John, 8 rounds, heavyweights; Tony Luis vs. Adrian Valdez, 6 rounds, lightweights; Kevin Lavallee vs. Carlos Martinez, 4 rounds, junior lightweights.


Check out what the 3 stooges are doing tonight = Teddy, Joe & Brian, and what the price of real estate is in Montreal.

Living out west does however have it's advantages, you don't have to sit up 'til mid-night to watch some of the main events.

LMAO Scot/limey time.

Am I the only one that noticed that?

Alrighty, lets get ready to mumble, Teddy and Joe are on.

First up, Sebastien Demers vs. Brian Vera., 12 rounds, super middleweights.

Vera seems to be getting the better of it so far, Demers seems to be eating leather.

Demers gets stopped in the 3rd round, nice work by Vera.

So this means we'll likely get to see more of the undercard.

Luis-Valdez up next.

Am I the only one watching these fights?

I guess I must be the only one watching these fights, David Lemieux vs. Elvin Ayala, 12 rounds, middleweights up next, I don't know why I thought George Foreman was in the studio, that must be next week..

Since no one seems interested in this thread, i'm out, so much for wanting a FNF thread.

David Lemieux is beastly. How long until he's ready to go again?

Great performance for Lemieux.

How was the Canuck's knockout Ring ?

It was no contest Ali, Lemieux took it to Ayala the 1st round and pretty much demolished him with power shots and ended it. Lemieux is 23-0 with 22 KOs and the new "WBC International middleweight champion" now, (whatever the fuck that is) not bad for a 21 year old kid.

Well at least we have some decent Middleweight prospects out there, because the division is dire at the moment.

Lemieux is a good looking prospect who has a lot of potential, but I believe he needs a bit more "seasoning" before he starts tackling the big dogs. He's been in 23 pro fights, but since most of those fights have ended by KO, he only has a grand total of 52 rounds boxed. He needs more experience, I hope his team has the wisdom to bring him along slowly.

I generally check out FNF, but a lot of times I'll go out and DVR it. This is still a good weekly thread to have for next day reactions even if people aren't scoring rd. by rd. live. It's just a down week for fights so maybe people took a weekend off.

Perhaps that's true Gumby, but due to a lack of response, especially from the folks on this forum who said they wanted a weekly FNF thread, I have no plan to post one here again.

I was here for the other FNF threads, but was traveling last night. Probably best not to worry about having a regular one with the current number of posters.

A weekly FNF thread ain't gonna work here, that's for sure, Capt.

yeah, save fight threads for HBO or showtime fights.
