I'm most excited about the hopkins fight though, I don't think kovalev has the speed to cause bhop problems, and bhop has an amazing chin.

:whew: Your gonna witness history son. IF Hopkins wins this he's up there with Floyd, Ward, and Manny on the p4p list. His ATG status becomes even brighter.



Gawd damn Nov. can't come any sooner :noah:

I was never a fan of hopkins growing up, always liked roy. I've warmed up to him though, everything he's done the last 10 years has been amazing. You really have to respect hopkins as a boxer. His ring iq is top notch. He really could continue fighting into his 50s.

Same here. I was huge Roy fan myself and wanted to see the rematch before Roy's athleticism began fading away. Seeing Tarver TKO Roy had me :sadbron: for a week.

Hopkins is something else though. He gets better as he ages. Dude really is the "Vino" of boxing.

Showtime blew all of their budget on these 2 Floyd PPVs this year, and not so great fights in the first half of this year.

NBC is about to start being a player for some of these big fights too.

Gotta believe showtime has something else for the rest of the year. You can't put on 2 cards in 3 months
bonus: Who in the fukk is Zou Shaoming fighting :heh: Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express?? Is that a train station? A techno band? Is that how you say Rod Salka in mandarin?

When Haymon takes all of his big name fighters to NBC we can expect Showtime to be putting on Comcast Sports Network caliber fights.

Zou Shiming vs. Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express



I know Thai fighters often put their gyms or sponsors in their name, but this :why:


And Zou Shiming is 5-0, with no name recognition, how the fukk is he a co-main on a ppv :mjlol:
