Andre Ward vs Jerson Ravelo plus Eddie Chambers Tonight on ShoBox

Andre Ward 168 vs Jerson Ravelo 166.5
Eddie Chambers 217 vs Raphael Butler 250
Wayne McCullough 124 vs Juan Ruiz 124
Ronald Hearns 156 vs Jose Luis Gonzalez 154
Charles Whitaker 156 vs Troy Lowry 156

Gold medalist Ward takes another step up facing the tough veteran Jerson Ravelo. While Ward debuted with all this hype, he has yet to put it all together. He still has very fast hands, but has shown a weak chin. Still if Andre Dirrell can get an eye opening win on ShoBox this year, why not Ward, he is due for a break out fight. Opening things up is Fast Eddie Chambers coming off a close lost to Povetkin in the title eliminator. Chambers fights like Chris Byrd used to fight. An undersized guy who makes good work on the inside, and both had little power. He faces former golden gloves champ Rapheal Butler a guy that has yet to have a big win. Butler will string a few wins together and then lose to a name guy like Art Binkowski. Still Butler is only 24 and hasn't lost in a year, he knows this is a huge chance and he is not afraid to throw a punch or two. Very interesting heavyweight fight hear. Enjoy the action tonight, it starts at 11pm.

 

Chambers is fighting tonight? Sweet.

Hopefully he learned a thing or two from his loss to Povetkin.
Chambers is now on ESPN while Whitherspoon is on HBO.... bit of a reversal.

 

Chambers is not on ESPN, this is ShoBox, which is ShoTime

 

Thanks for the info- this looks like a nice card.

 

Sorry Boston,
Just read the fighter line up and assumed it was FNF.

 

I'm really pulling for Andre!

 

I feel very lost heading into the weekend when Boston doesn't do one of these threads on Friday.

 

didnt know chambers was fighting tonight...ill watch for that for sure.

 

I wanna catch this but why the hell is it on at 11 oclock on a friday night?

 

I'd kind of like to see the HEarns fight.

 

The fight is taking place in the Cayman Islands, and in California it should be on @ 8pm (if you get the Eastern Showtime Feed).

11PM is a rebroadcast.

 

That's what time ShoBox always comes on.

 

me too. and I can't believe that the pocket rocket is still fighting on

 

I think some people might be disappointed. Both sho.com and maxboxing are listing the Ronald Hearns fight as televised, not the Chambers fight.

 

yep no Chambers. Hearns looked good

 

Any word on the Ward fight?

 

Ward's winning, but looking a little sloppy to me. Seems like he's in a hurry.

 

What round are we in now?

 

Just finished the 4th. Ward's looking better. Doing a good job of counter punching and making Ravelo pay for his mistakes. Ravelo's making a lot of mistakes and basically looks like crap tonight. Ward looks pretty good, but he keeps lunging in.

 

Alright, good to hear my boy is doing a good job.
He better fucking win tonight, I have high expectations for him.
