Yeah all good fights so far. Its in Macau, probably where Pacquiao's next fight will be. Awesome to hear George Foreman and Larry Merchant calling the fight.

Also really smart tapping into the Chinese market. Massive potential. They're saying possibly over 200 million watching today's card.

Shiming looked pretty decent for his pro debut, speed and has some skills. No power though which will likely be a problem for him going forward.

But with that said, 20,000 people showed up to see his pro debut and his fight is the #1 story in: China 邹市明获�业生涯首胜_雅虎体育 and got major press around the world.

Say what you want about Bob Arum, but that's a huge success and bringing boxing to China could be huge.

That was some entrance - Chinese flag, nothing but red lights.

April is a bad month for me.
On the 20th I'll be in Phoenix for a business conference and there is a dinner at the JW Marriott that I have to attend. So I'm missing Canelo vs Trout.

Then on the 27th I have a wedding AND a birthday. Ditched the wedding (made an excuse about Vegas being to far and last minute) but it's one of my bosses birthdays so I pretty much have to go. NO ONE at work watches boxing but I am going to try to watch it at the house. I don't want to be rude so I'll pretend like "hey, this looks good, boxing is on. Who are these guys anyways?" then try to play it off like I'm socially watching it or something.

the main event on Friday Night Fights had to be the biggest mismatch in boxing in years. What a ko though. I feel sorry for dude, never stood a chance from the opening bell

Geez look at the size discrepancy in that pic ^^^^^

LOL
That's why I really, really want to believe in Wilder. Finally a huge, athletic American heavyweight with skills with tons of potential. But he's never really taken a flush shot against another big man himself so we really know nothing up to now. But the potential... he could be HUGE!
