tNicholas Walters has crowd leave on him as main event
I will forever hate Walters. #TeamDonaire Still sad about that one.
— Robert Garcia Jr. (@_GarciaPita) June 14, 2015
That was not a "feeling out" opening round between Walters and Marriaga. Every shot thrown was hard, fast and accurate. #boxing @HBOboxing
— Douglass Fischer (@dougiefischer) June 14, 2015
Marriaga is quick. Not the stereotypical slow, big puncher from Colombia. #boxing
— Queensberry Rules (@tqbr) June 14, 2015
Walters and Marriaga aren't wholly tentative, but they're clearly aware of what the other guy can do.
— David Greisman (@fightingwords2) June 14, 2015
i think these guys will open up soon
— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) June 14, 2015
Walters pockets lighter tonight…paid $40k to Marriaga for failing to make weight yesterday
— Crystina Poncher (@CrystinaPoncher) June 14, 2015
Oh damn, both guys looked like they stunned each other back to back, but Marriaga perhaps a bit more with his shots
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 14, 2015
Marriaga giving Walters fits early. His herky jerky head movement giving Walters a lot of problems. Tough rounds to score I have marriaga up
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 14, 2015
Fight is really warming up. Bombs are being tradef

Walter's getting popped. @HBOboxing #WaltersMarriaga #boxing
— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) June 14, 2015
i like the way the fights been going even if thr crowd isnt into it
— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) June 14, 2015
I feel like every round here is a swing round. #WaltersMarriaga
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 14, 2015
Wait…. There's UFC on too?
— Ernie Gabion (@eaner0919) June 14, 2015
@LukieBoxing the crowd left 750+ on train back to long beach w/ Seanie n im sure Verdajo fans took off too
— KH – 516 (@KevinHorn_KH) June 14, 2015
More people stick around for Rigo n Agbeko
— Joe Kruk (@KrukBoxing) June 14, 2015
This fight is solid, but the pacing is becoming routine
— Joe Kruk (@KrukBoxing) June 14, 2015
Crowd is not digging this fight. Lots of funny heckling in my section. In English, Spanish and Spanglish.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 14, 2015
ok i tried to be optomistic but this fight is dragging
— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) June 14, 2015
Lederman's score is garbage, clearly trying to set the HBO audience up for a Walters by robbery decision
— Lord of The Fly's (@naotaBox) June 14, 2015
Love watching Nicholas Walters fight he does excellent work to the body and head
— MWJr. (@The1stWright) June 14, 2015
Copp taking a shit all over this fight
— MG (@MatthewG918) June 14, 2015
Down goes Marriaga at the end of Round 9. Crowd doesn't even react.
— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) June 14, 2015
You can hear a pin drop here at MSG.
— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) June 14, 2015
Fans filing out of Theater at MSG now.
— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) June 14, 2015
Marriaga talked a lot about beating Walters in the amateurs, but as always, it means nothing.
— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) June 14, 2015
HBO bought in to the Nicholas Walters' stock and in return they got Enron.
— Patrick Cassidy (@PJCassidy) June 14, 2015
Walters is breaking Marriaga down, that happens when their is a visible size difference
— EBOXINGNEWS (@EBOXINGNEWS) June 14, 2015
I know HBO is invested in #Walters but this weight difference is a travesty. #WaltersMarriaga
— Ed Suarez (@suarez1116) June 14, 2015
Id give Walters-Marriaga a grade of PBC… yeah, that bad… #boxing
— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) June 14, 2015
“@danrafaelespn: Crowd so quiet for #WaltersMarriaga I can hear Lampley's commentary. #boxing” Dag! Lol.
— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) June 14, 2015
Overweight featherweights coming in at welterweight are his weakness. https://t.co/RS3ci1NMOl
— J.A.G (@elyogui83) June 14, 2015
Walters cruises through the 12th, essentially. Marriaga took some shots, showed toughness but not much else past early rounds
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 14, 2015
Wilder flatlines Molina much later than expected
Wilder needs to tough the soggy body of Molina. Also need to add an uppercut to his arsenal.
— Every 28 hours (@blksuprman) June 14, 2015
@edgefest15 LOL Wilder isn't fighting Povetkin but yea if he decides to go for that fight. We can make that bet.
— EddieBooker4TheHOF (@jrosales13) June 14, 2015
Why won't Wilder go to the body???
— Tanya the Believer (@MrsBoxingDiva) June 14, 2015
Wilder is okay after 3, but I think Molina won that round. #boxing
— Write on the Button (@wotbboxing) June 14, 2015
ill lol if wilder losses the special ed teacher
— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) June 14, 2015
Molina down twice in round 5 rather pathetically. Wilder seems hesitant to finish it right away
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 14, 2015
Jack Reiss is about to kick Molina's ass, bruhs
— James Bagg Jr. (@JamesBaggJr) June 14, 2015
Can't recall a crowd like the one in Alabama right now #BombZquad
— ray sanchez (@realraysanchez) June 14, 2015
Oh no! What a devastating bunch of punches! Omg! Molina is down again. And he gets up! This is so good! @SHOsports #wildermolina #boxing
— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) June 14, 2015
@SHOsports I we watch this fight Klitschko has nothing to worry about
— Johnathon Banks (@Johnathon_Banks) June 14, 2015
I agree. RT @JPhilzzzz: @cthagod you know Wilder has no chance at Klitchsko
— Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) June 14, 2015
Wilder is hurt.
— Brian Campbell (@BCampbellESPN) June 14, 2015
Eric Molina with the massive upset!!! He made it 6 rounds and hurt wilder. Far exceeded expectations
— Rod The Gawd Salka (@WaifuCru) June 14, 2015
Seems like Molina has……given up?
— Patrick Connor (@VoiceOfBeard) June 14, 2015
Molina looking for a way out Beyoncé Wilder is golden gloves material #LETSGOCHAMP #VAMOSCAMPEON
— Shannon Briggs (@TheCannonBriggs) June 14, 2015
BOMBS AWAY! Wilder dropping them from every angle. Molina down twice. #WilderMolina
— Sergio Mora (@TheLatinSnake_) June 14, 2015
Can't believe Molina survived the round. Just an UNREAL crowd pop in Birmingham for Wilder.
— Brian Campbell (@BCampbellESPN) June 14, 2015
Wilder can't let Alabama down like this.
— Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) June 14, 2015
#WilderMolina @BronzeBomber has 2 B the most electrifying fighter in recent yrs! Whew! 3 knockdowns? @rosieperezbklyn @SHOsports
— Minnie Larry (@MinnieLarry) June 14, 2015
Wilder deserves credit for selling all those tickets to this farce. Most legit main events can't get half this audience. #WilderMolina
— Ryan Bivins (@RyanBivins) June 14, 2015
If Molina was willing to take a few more chances he probably be able land BIG on Wilder!
— Dominic Verdin (@DominicVerdin66) June 14, 2015
Wilder looks tired. Loading up, looking for the knockout punch but Molina's crafty. He's able to deflect/avoid most of them.
— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) June 14, 2015
Wilder fight has been a major let down?
— Josh (@JoshMucka) June 14, 2015
Molina can slip pretty good. Wilder getting tired #WilderMolina #boxing
— Sierra Leone Samuels (@SierraCASA) June 14, 2015
All the other heavyweights must be licking their lips at this, wilder looks bang average against poor opposition!! #WilderMolina

My god. Wilder is bad

Not sure if the people on my TL saying Chris Arreola is better than Wilder are serious o_O haha #WTFBros
— ray sanchez (@realraysanchez) June 14, 2015
I fighter winning 6 out of 8 rounds and finishing with a stoppage is struggling now.
— Peter Clarke (@Pacman453323) June 14, 2015
Wilder raised some ?'s tonight but that was a fight he needed. Rounds and resistance. Kudos to both guys. Good scrap
— Cliff Rold (@RoldBoxing) June 14, 2015
Arreola >>>>>>>> Wilder Yeah I said it.

Felix Verdejo makes his HBO debut
I'd say that 60-70% of the crowd is here for Verdejo tonight.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 14, 2015
This place is ready for Verdejo! They're gonna erupt! #boxing #VerdejoNajera
— Raging Babe (@M_RagingBabe) June 14, 2015
There's a guy on stilts walking in with Verdejo wearing a puerto rican flag outfit. Fantastic.
— adam abramowitz (@snboxing) June 14, 2015
Want to see the next boxing superstar before he's a superstar? Felix Verdejo on HBO tonight, 10pm ET. @HBOboxing
— Max Kellerman (@Max_Kellerman) June 14, 2015
Felix looking like SRR so far. #HBO commentary
— Matthew Mojica (@TheFightSource) June 14, 2015
Every time Najera lands, Verdejo smiles as if, "Is that it?"
— David Greisman (@fightingwords2) June 14, 2015
I think Verdejo is going to be a Lampley favorite.
— Bradley (@Freeroll4life) June 14, 2015
todd deboef tells us here that verdejo was battling a right hand issue
— Victor M. Salazar Jr (@BoxingVoice_Vic) June 14, 2015
Reminds me of a young Jorge Linares. He is that good.

Pedraza beats Klimov for belt
Man, Klimov is the definition of average. There's nothing "above average" about his ring ability/tools, except for maybe his chin. #boxing
— Douglass Fischer (@dougiefischer) June 14, 2015
José Pedraza is one of the most skillful boxers I've ever seen
— Tito Oyeneyin (@tito_jay) June 14, 2015
Andrey Klimov enters for his IBF jr lightweight title fight vs Jose Pedraza, receives mixed reaction. Does this crowd know WTF he even is?
— Jonathan Moreland (@morelandj) June 14, 2015
Klimov is the 2.2 GPA of boxing.
— Ernie Gabion (@eaner0919) June 14, 2015
This fight is reminding me of the Spike fight, I hope Jose Pedraza dont start admiring his work for 12 rounds. But I call it now 120-108 UD
— LRS (@semplificato) June 14, 2015
Jose Pedraza is fucking fantastic. What a boxer
— Nick Prince (@PrinceNJon) June 14, 2015
Klimov's corner just doesn't GAF
— Jesus Aldana (@JesusAldana2) June 14, 2015
Klimov's real paycheck tonight is in the free hospital care he's going to get. #PedrazaKlimov

Goodnight Jorge. RT @footypjman: With Dejan Zlaticanin's aggressive style, a title fight with Jorge Linares could be very interesting
