Fights from Foxwood on HBO’s Bad: The autumn period of HBO’s “Boxing Right after Dark” collection which functions up and coming fighters will get underway from your MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut on Saturday night, September 29, at 9:30 p.m. Eastern/Pacific.

Both are northeastern fighters; Rodriguez from Massachusetts and Escalera from New Jersey, so plenty of supporters ought to be in the home. The fighters not all that well matched. Rodriguez has an substantial novice profession. Even though Escalera has twelve knockouts in his thirteen fights, his opponents weren’t a lot of a problem. He’s only fought 39 expert rounds of boxing at age 27. Nevertheless, he is really a big brawling puncher and any individual could get fortunate (see Julio Caesar Chavez Jr., round twelve on September 15).

All the fighters created weight, all mentioned the proper factors at their reports meeting about coaching hard, getting thrilled regarding their fights, and putting on a great display. They are lucky Here Arrives Honey Boo Boo is not on or I may well be watching by means of DVR delay. Nevertheless, anytime Max Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr. are about entertaining me with their discussion, I’m willing to verify it out.

Bienvenido a Miami, Bradley: Timothy Bradley Jr. will not get his rematch with Manny Pacquiao, but Top Rank promoter Bob Arum declared that Bradley will headline a card on Saturday, December fifteen at Marlins Park in Miami, the first boxing card ever held there. Arum states the stadium will keep the ring in the baseball infield and be configured for amongst 20,000 and twenty five,000 supporters.

The opponent hasn’t been called. Arum promised “a top welterweight” and reportedly informed Yahoo! Sports activities it might be previous champion Andre Berto. But Chris Mannix of Sports activities Illustrated reports that Berto (28-1-0, 22 KOS) is close to finalizing a deal to battle Cornelius Bundrage on HBO November 24 in a junior middleweight title bout. It’s been rough for Berto lately. He lost to Victor Ortiz in Apri 2011, and was set to get a rematch until he tested good for steroids and was dropped from your bout. That didn’t operate out too well for Ortiz, possibly; swap Josesito Lopez broke Ortiz’ jaw and won himself the chance to fight Canelo Alvarez two weeks in the past.

Arum mentioned he will even feature Cuban fighters like WBA super bantamweight champion Guiermo Rigondeaux.

Pacquiao declined the alternative to get a rematch with Bradley in favor of the fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez Jr. Tickets went on sale Friday along with a documented 10,000 tickets have already been sold.
