And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Estrada is a top tier fighter in her weight class who some might remember from the fight on the Canelo-Kovalev undercard when she gave Marlene Esparza one of the craziest cuts ever.

The opponent Adkins is (maybe was at this point) a basically debuting amateur. I know the pandemic messed shut up but this is pretty egrigeous stuff from the California commission. And of course we all know who actually sanctioned Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones

Jamal James vs Thomas Dulorme turned out to be pretty good. I was impressed by James especially toward the end of the fight where he really got to show off his defense. Don't think he makes it to top 5 welterweight but I'd have him competitive against guys like Jessie Vargas and Danny Garcia.

Lomachenko-Teofimo Lopez has been signed and will be on "an ESPN platform" in October, per Mike Coppinger. apparently Loma took a pay cut to make the fight work and unify lightweight, though he'll still be on the upside of the purse. Coppinger also thinks that the platform it'll be on may end up being proper ESPN, what with college football moving to spring due to the rona.

Great news but I wonder what they will do if the SEC and ACC just go gently caress it and don't move off the fall.

EDIT: They have a date apparently

The second time he's lost this same belt out of the ring. First was for a positive cocaine test in 2017.

In before "I thought cocaine made you lose weight"

Assuming Benavidez beats Roamer Angulo (which I still would) I think the WBC makes the vacant belt available for Canelo and his next opponent

Talking of comebacks Sergio Martinez returns to the ring tonight after 6 years out. It looks like he has kept himself in shape but even this will be sad to see I think.

Sergio Garcia is on the undercard who I was at ringside to see absolutely school Cheeseman a while back but against someone coming off two losses.

this is baffling to me. surely sergio couldn't need the money considering the dominance of his peak and his popularity and the drat near unequalled uncomfortable sadness of his complete fall-off was an extremely tough watch.

wonder what he's planning to do with this 'return'

not that i recall, but i was only considering the cotto match when i speak about sadness and complete fall off as it was just the dude's body actually racing miguel's full strength punches to see which would kill him first
