Friday Night Fights?

August 14 2009 post fight review.

Well I don't know how much of a post I can make out of this and I hate to knock Friday Night Fights to much I try to be a fan, but man who put this card together? I kinda hoped maybe Vivian Harris had a little something left or even that maybe his opponent Noe Bolanos would pull off a dramatic upset. But instead we get a no contest over what seemed to be a not so serious accidental headbutt.

I guess maybe I just wasn't getting the full effect of the butt but heck I've seen military guy's out on the town for a pre-Iraq deployment do some harder headbutting than that. And they did it intentionally and not one in the unit fell out! But hey it's Vivian's head and career so I guess he did what's best.

So anyway Deontay Wilder looked good against Travis Allen but we all expected that he probably has about hmm fifteen or so easy match ups before we know what's up with him. But He does seem to be suited well to the Pros.

And then we have the first fight! And this is where I'm sorry but I have to say why? who? and WTF!! were you thinking to whoever put this match up together. Or more specifically to whoever subjected me to having to watch some kid ( Travis Hartman ) who shouldn't even be fighting in the amateurs let alone on a national televised broadcast. I mean cmon it's really sad when we sit and listen to Teddy go on and on before they fight about how bad the kid is and how the fight isn't going to show us much about his opponent Kieth Thurman. All the while the network Teddy works for put the fight on. Hartman came into this fight having been KO'd in his last five fights and put on the canvas the two before that.

So why? Why are they even letting this guy keep fighting not even to mention putting him on television in HD. And then his corner goes and throws in the towel in the second round when he wasn't even getting hit??? This one just really left me scratching my head and thinking hmm wonder what I'd look like in a pair of trunks? I mean I'm at least kind of athletic looking wonder where you can find one of them Agent fellows?

So what ya think am I being to hard? I guess I wouldn't go on about it but it seem to be happening allot this year on FNF's to bad we the fans couldn't put together some match ups.

Let me hear your thoughts on this fight. And some you recall this year.
