Any word on who the bum will be as Tony's opponent in two weeks? Is Todd gonna fight Farmer on that card?

Is Oscar De La Hoya going to be present at the media events weigh in and fight week?

Can anyone provide details about parking at the armory. I'm guessing it is a cash lot next to RFK, but there is no info on the armory website.

The parking lots are actually across the street from the Armory.

Truthfully, the best way to get to the Armory is to take the Metro. It doesn't close until 3:30 AM on Saturday evenings/Sunday morning. You can park at an Orange or Blue Line location and take the Metro in.

Track work on the Orange Line this weekend (weekend Metro is slow/frustrating) - probably better for me to drive. Thanks for the info on lots.
