ESPN2\u2019s Friday Night Fights<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This Friday on ESPN2\u2019s Friday Night Fights, super bantamweight Antonio Escalante, 22-2, 14 KO\u2019s, will take on Miguel Roman, 28-6, 20 KO\u2019s, in Texas. Escalante is currently on an eight fight winning streak, five of which are by knockout since his defeat to Mauricio Pastrana in 2007. He has had two notable wins as of late, scoring an early knockout over Gary Stark, JR., and winning a decision against Cornelius Lock. <\/span><\/p>\n

Roman has gone 3-3 in his last six bouts, but he has never been stopped and did stop two prospects in recent outings. He will be coming into this fight with a puncher\u2019s chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the supporting bout, light welterweight Danny Garcia, 15-0, 10 KO\u2019s, takes on veteran Ashley Theophane, 25-3-1, 7 KO\u2019s, in an eight round bout. <\/span><\/p>\n

Double Assault PPV<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This Saturday, Wilfredo Vazquez, JR., 17-0-1, 14 KO\u2019s, will headline a pay per view coming from Puerto Rico entitled \u201cDouble Assault,\u201d featuring Vazquez, JR., in the main event against Marvin Sonsona, 14-0-1, 12 KO\u2019s, for the vacant WBO Super Bantamweight Title. <\/span><\/p>\n

The interim WBO Latino Super Bantamweight Title will be decided as Jonathan Oquendo, 17-2, 11 KO\u2019s, squares off against Reynaldo Lopez, 30-7-3, 21 KO\u2019s, for 12 rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

The card looks rather poor for a pay per view, but it is one nonetheless. Rent at your own risk.<\/span><\/p>\n
