Another quality weekend of boxing. I'll keep this one short and sweet. Saturday's definitely the main course, but Friday's always a good first course.

I'm pretty sure that individual live threads will be opened at fight time by FightHype.

FRIDAY:
FNF-
Antwone "the Truth" Smith vs. Robert “Amenaza” Garcia - 147lbs
Cesar Seda vs. Sergio Perales - 120lbs

ShoBox-
Diego Magdaleno vs. Miguel Beltran Jr. - 130lbs - Magdaleno's undefeated, facing a more experienced boxer. Could be a chance to see what Magdaleno's about, or a cushy match-up. Dunno.
Yordenis Ugas vs. Juan Garcia - 147lbs - an 8 rounder, both undefeated. Someone's "0" must go.

European/U.K: (probably around 5pm) Shane McPhilbin vs. Enzo Maccaranelli - 190lbs - Enzo should probably retire, he's taken some bad beatings recently. 190lbers can do some damage, so could be interesting.


SATURDAY:
NBCSports- (not sure if all of these bouts will be televised)
Zab "Super" Judah vs. Vernon "the Iceman" Paris - 140lbs - Vernon Paris' time to shine. Can he remain undefeated against the still respectable Zab "Super" Judah? This is probably the last chance saloon for Zab.
Siarhei "the White Wolf" Liakhovich vs. Bryant "B.Y." Jennings - HW -Jennings was on NBCSports in January and won in an apparently good showing. I'm interested in how he looks against Liahkovich.
Tomasz Adamek vs. Nagy Aguilera - HW -Tomasz Adamek always brings it and initial expectations are for Adamek to win, but will Aguilera make the DR proud?
Curtis Stevens vs. Romaro Johnson- 168lbs-
Tarvis Simms vs. TBA - 158 lbs

NBCSports is also showing a 24-7 type pre fight documentary with Zab Judah. It's on tonight too as well as tomorrow and Saturday. They're also repeating Jennings' last outing in Jan.

HBO -
Erik "El Terrible" Morales vs. Danny "Swift" Garcia -140lbs- Garcia's undefeated, but Morales is "El Terrible." Will youth be served?
James "Mandingo Warrior" Kirkland vs. Carlos "King" Molina -154lbs- This could be the one that has most people's attention as a result of Kirkland being in one of 2011's FOTY candidates and the fact that Molina doesn't seem to be in the least bit intimidated.

I haven't seen any of the fighters for the FNF and Shobox card, fight before...so it should be worth the watch. Im going for El Terrible on the strength of experience, but Garcia does have a punch that can change the trajectory of a fight.

As far as the Kirkland/Molina fight...we will have to see. As you said, Molina has yet to show any signs of intimidation, but who knows. He has a nasty record, but he may be able to hold his ground, from a boxing standpoint.
