    There were four non-premium cable fights cards on television this week.

    These were the results of the main events:

    Fox Sports Net
    Jesse Vargas (14-0) UD 8 (79-73, 78-74, 77-75) Cristian Favela (28-32-7; 1-6-1 last 8 fights)

    ESPN
    Juan Carlos Burgos (25-1) TKO 2 W Frankie Archuleta (27-7-1)

    Telefutura
    Danny Garcia (19-0) TKO 2 John Figueroa (7-8-3; 1-7 last 8 fights)

    Telemundo
    Jesus Pabon (16-1) TKO 1 Americo Santos (26-4-1, last fight 2007, lost TKO 1)

    That is one pathetic week of boxing.

    At least next week should be better, as Ismayl Sillakh-Yordanis Despaigne is (as of now) still scheduled for ESPN2 and Telefutura will have a decent main event Vicente Escobedo-Walter Estrada.

    was he remotely in shape? he looks like he goes up to 190s in between fights especially as he got older.
