Anyone know what's happening with tonight's boxing card on ESPN2. ESPN apparently is going to telecast all of Barry Bonds games until he gets the record. But I don't know if it's going to be on 2 or ESPN. The last 2 nights it's been on ESPN2. The website is no help.

Thanks

One good fight Jean Pascal vs. Kingsley Ikeke

Good week for fights next week too as far as volume goes, fights on wed, thurs (on vs.), friday and saturday night.

Yes, that's a fight I'm really looking forward to seeing tonight. But my biggest question was whether it will actually air at that time since ESPN said Thursday night it would carry the SF baseball game to follow Bonds.

The fight is going to be carried on ESPN2 at 9:00 EST. This a big test for Pascal considering Ikeke is a former world champ and his jab is known to bust up someone's face really fast.

Pascal should win this fight but it will give us an idea if he's the real deal or not.

Pascal looked decent but I thought it was more of a case of Ikeke looking shot and like a fighter who hasn't fought in 20 months.

I can't see Pascal being anything more the top 10 on the outskirts. Keeps his hands too low when he is jumping in and out. They pointed out several times that he likes to fight like Roy Jones but Jones in his heyday had some pop to go with incredible athleticism and speed. Pascal has nice speed but I don't see any pop.

Pascal doesn't sit down on his punches enough. If he did, Ikeke would have been out of there before round eight. Pascal is a very flawed fighter who only uses his speed and natural ability to get by. I can't see him being more than a top 10-15 SMW.
