I am kinda gettting jazzed about it and I want to try to make it out but

**shakes magic 8 ball**

Outlook not so good

[Evan]

[Evan]

Tickets are dirt cheap.......

http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0C003F2CD3929B36?artistid=1160077&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=830

Probably get to move down too...

[cornbread]

Erik Paulson, Drew Fickett, Eilers, and Pete Spratt. Not bad!!! Pete's rematching the guy who beat him last month. I hope he can pull this one out.

[Evan]

Yeah its very solid for a local new startup. As long as they keep moving foward and not back like that backyard BBQ brawl that AOW became.

Cuban will do this right methinks.

[LEONARD]

Ford only got down to 225 lbs...looks like he'll fight Paulson at HW and give up some of his purse. Paulson is 212 lbs...


someone needs to learn to to post direct videos

:lol

Happy now?

:downspin:

[Evan]

225...thats all he could F-ING cut it to? WTF...........

and if Paulson is 212 I am assuming he heard about his weight and stopped cutting?

Oh, and :toast

[LEONARD]

Yep, when they called Paulson last night he had just started his weight cut...

[Evan]

Might have been the best business phone call he had ever had in his life.

[dallaskd]

Im not going to submit predictions b/c i dont know most of these guys. I'll watch it but it's not a card im getting hyped over.

[stevallica]

HDNet better improve their cards or else they will die really fast.

[Evan]

HDNet better improve their cards or else they will die really fast.

Thats actually a good card for a small start up.

[dallaskd]

Fickett is a good piece but I don't see a whole lot of potental on this card.

By they way Sean is done done done...no HDNet and no fights for quite some time. Idiot may have ruined his career by fighting so much.
