i was looking at that echols / ikeke fight and just couldnt make up my mind..
Echols will have to get inside ikeke's long reach but ikeke has the tendency to punch soft.. tuff on to call.. may throw some change on echols because of the odds..

It was a one-sided affair today at the final press conference at the Downs of Albuquerque when five-time world champion Johnny Tapia did not show up for his scheduled time at 2:30. Frankie Archuleta, his trainer Tony Ayala had this to say:
-------
Tony Ayala: "Frankie has a very credible opponent and it's not going to be easy. But it's time for a changing of the guard. He is well-prepared and he is ready for Tapia."
-------
Frankie Archuleta: "I'm confident I'll win. I trained hard. He wants vengeance, but won't get it. I know this won't be the same fight, but I plan on being more aggressive. If he flips, I'll brawl with him, but stick to my mental game plan. It's going to be a good fight, we're going to be like bulls, and leather will fly."
I think its time for tapia to hang it up ... :wink: |
