Leap-Year weekend fights (& 1 future):

Thursday: I like DK at the Distance here.

I see no reason to side against the FNF's dual chalk. Only value might be an Outcome or Total however. Like Bute on this nite as well. Love Raul, this looks like a real mismatch.

Showtime/ShoBox: I'm leaning towards The Ghost. He's the Lefty, JL can be hit, & Ro.G will have a bit of homecourt. Not real sure on the rubbermatch between RM and IV. Though I do wanna find some Outcome Props. The total is too low for me.

But........what I really wanna type about is....how good Sammy Pete suddenly looks. Dude has cut some real live Weight folks. & for the first time has some ab's working in his favor, instead of hanging harmlessly over the front of his trunks. So I played him w/ tonites hoops chalk SU. I was real surprised by how good SP looked.

Is the DK fight on TV?

Adding IV ITD & RM ITD, parlayed w/ FNF's chalks, NV, YN & Bute.

Who is NV? (other than Nikolay Valuev, who is not fighting this weekend)

H if I know? Should be DK. My bad.

Echols has a bit of Voltage left. But he's not won since 2004 for a reason in my book. I always liked AE, but he has the look and feel of a well worn warhorse.

Just my two cents.  I don't know anything about Walker besides what is in print, but I would be a very concerned as a commission to clear Echols to fight.  Towards the end of the Zuniga fight he looked really bad and he has a lot of mileage on him.  I hope I'm wrong, but any fight at this point could be very dangerous for Echols's long term well being.

Very tough go for Kirilov as a big favorite last night retaining his title with a draw.  Super flyweight is very strong at the top, I don't think that he will ever crack the top five.

Nice closer for The Ghost. JL is game, but that as a nice short Right to seal the deal. Sometimes Hooks that are shorter and more compact, not only get there faster, but they can get there w/ some serious intent.
