This Friday night at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN, the always dangerous Grady Brewer takes on 2008 Olympian Demetrius Andrade in what marks the 2011 season finale of ?Friday Night Fights? on ESPN2. Starting from the January 7th debut in Las Vegas where Mauricio Herrera upset Ruslan Provodnikov, it has been a year marked by upsets, ?Fight of the Year? candidates and undefeated boxers suffering their first professional blemishes.
I emailed Joe Tessitore, who calls the action for ?The Deuce? to list his most memorable moments of this past year. He replied:
1. [Pawel] Wolak swollen eye fight of the year vs [Delvin] Rodriguez 2. Grady Brewer shocking KO of Fernando Guerrero 3. [Marco Antonio] Rubio TKO?s David Lemuix (sic) in Montreal 4. 8 knockdown night in Phoenix (including SPortscenter play of day KO by janks Trotter) main event was a good scrap Jesus Gonzalez vs Francisco Sierra 5. John Molina vs Rob Frankel?s bloodied face with a blood splattered ringside 6. Vernon Paris Tim Coleman pre-fight grudge and 4 knockdown fight. 7. [Ismayl] Sillahk (sic) vs [Yordanis] Despaigne 8. Sebastian Lujan brawl with Mark Melligen 9. do you really want me to continue because that is just off the top of my head.. and the night in phoenix had individual Kdowns i would list by themselevs i just lumped them in.
