    Looks like Solorio lives in San Quintin, Baja California, Mexico

    Alright, Valdez. Time to get Solorio outta there.

    I don't understand Valdes not just jumping on Solorio, especially when he backs himself onto the ropes.

    That's a wasted opportunity for Valdes. You get a TV fight 5 fights into your career and that's your effort? Terrible.

    Catching up on dvr, there was some serious leather traded in that Shabranskyy-Unthank-May fight.

    Very much a Herrera style fight. Tough, not sexy by any means and hard to score.

    He's got 5% or so, or at least did as of a couple years ago. Nice piece of change.

    He is, which led me to try and figure out why he's announcing this fight when he normally does HBO.

    Maybe he's done these fights in the past and I'm a tad tipsy?

    The old Gillette Friday Night Fights ran in the 50s and 60s. Then there was a reboot in the mid 90s that I think was on USA. Maybe not.

    USA had Tuesday Night Fights back in the day. ESPN rebooted Friday Night Fights in the 90s and it was pretty damn good at first. Had Kellerman and Brian Kenny and some legit fighters. Eventually it got watered down.

    Good for Herrera, that dude's had some rough decisions go against him. Also, rematch that shit.

    Marriaga's got a good chin, some punching power and comes to fight. With that said, he's outclassed by Lomachenko by leaps and bounds (as nearly everyone is), so he's basically your cliche "punchers chance" guy.

    Excited to watch some Lomachenko. Beltran is an exciting fighter as well.

    Tonight:

    ESPN, 10:00 pm ET, Vasyl Lomachenko vs Miguel Marriaga, Ray Beltran vs Bryan Vasquez.
    Certainly not the best opponent you could have hoped for against Lomachenko, and chances are he’s going to rout and likely stop Marriaga, whether he does it with clean precision or just beating Marriaga into frustrated submission. Beltran-Vasquez is a solid matchup in the co-feature.
