I'm a lil bit beyond tipsy so excuse me

You've got to hate this sport of ours, it keeps good fighters off TV and instead shows the ilk of Allan Green, the heartless fighter who talked a good fighter but delivered as if he was impersonating the England football team at this world cup. So over the past 2 nights two of the top American prospects managed to avoid TV coverage, people who read my last piece on this site will know who they are, others are about to find out.

First was Demetrius Andrade, possibly the most hyped young American fighter out here right now, he fought on the un-televised undercard of ESPN's “Friday Night Fights”.Although originally pencilled in to face Qunadray Robertson his opponent was changed to Dumont Welliver, even now on Sunday morning my time (BST) the result isn't on boxrec. Sadly it seemsno one else has released the result for that one as many of us wait in wonder as to who won. The other fighter I noted was Mark “TNT” Tucker who fought on the the undercard of Ward's dominant win over Allan Green. Tucker's fight, also not televised has had a record in boxrec at this time.

Tucker, a talented fighter who started his career as if he was a power puncher looks to be the fighting pride of his home city, though on recent performances he has been less and less impressive. His most recent fight on Saturday proved that he's not the star many were expecting him to be, as he out pointed Billy Bailey over 8 rounds. Thought he got the win it was in an uninspiring and close performance that saw the man known as “The Billy Goat” losing by 1 round (2 cards) and 2 rounds (the final card). Bailey a very standard journeyman shouldn't have given Tucker any problems if Tucker's fans are to believed,though the fact he did is a worry as TNT was meant to be something special.

For those interested my views on the Green v Ward fight can be found on Helium, and their's also a piece on a special talent coming later this week. Otherwise, it seems the top US prospects have been over looked, a real shame.
