HBO been all year so far with these struggle cards. Mayfield/Dulorme was . They need to clinch and dance there way into the bushes Hunter just can't seem to make anybody look better except for Ward.

Kovalev did what he was supposed to do, just took a lil longer since his opponent was tough and didn't exactly lay down quietly.

HBO been dropping the ball with some of these fights. Garcia/Gamboa is gone and Stevenson/Kovalev looks like if it were to ever happen it would be later and not sooner. nikkas wanna be the top dog, but don't wanna pay the top dogs top money.

You have bum nikkas like Mayfeild they will put on TV to push a anti GB/anti Swift agenda, but they have fighters like Rigo who they refuse to showcase as a co feature or headliner......


I give HBO 2 more months before I cancel that shyt

Them nikkas done had Miguel Vasquez on that bytch like 3x already

HBO be on some contradictory type of shyt.

Mayfield is a poor man's Shawn Porter.

as much as i think about cancelling HBO I cant...i dont want to have to watch streams for every boxing related thing outside of PPV's or international cards..FIOS gave me 50% off on HBO and showtime so im maintaining for now...but boxing on HBO has to get better..by this time last year HBO gave us bradley-provodnikov (unexpected) and Rios-Alvarado 2...prolly the best fight they've aired this year so far was Jennings vs Szpilka..I'm hoping that the pac-bradley 2 card has something noteworthy other than judging fukkery happens..and above all no more....if he's not facing Crawford..NO MORE MIGUEL VAZQUEZ FIGHTS!!!!! I didn't buy a big ass TV just to watch a Mexican fight like a gotdamn Cuban and being a 135 version of john ruiz

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Yeah I can't cancel HBO when Crotch/Groves 2 is coming up.

They still need to step the fukk up though. I swear we come up with better match ups then these suit and tie wearing ass nikkas do.

HBO has lost their way completely, and it all boils down to that Manny/Floyd saga and protecting Manny, had the network had any integrity like in the past they would of had a national interview with both Floyd and Manny for the world to see, like they did with BHOP and Roy to see who was ducking who in that case it was clear BHOP aint want it; why wasn't this done for Manny......Everything post that debacle has been going further and further downhill; back in the day you couldnt pay me to watch a showtime event, now I much rather watch them..............


HBO is making me hate that nikka Kellerman with a passion also, I listen to his podcast and listen to him on sportsnation, and that ain the same Max, that aint the Max we fell in love with commentating on HBO. Hlf of the time it seems as if a gun is being held to his head and forced to spew either straight nonsense or a dummy fighting agenda, contrary to when he's on ESPN and is talking about pure boxing and is kissing Mayweather's ass left and right......

 

[patscorpio]

the problem is there's nobody at HBO that seems to have a love of boxing..its bad when we can list fights that could or should have happened on HBO and they didn't for no real good reason

Latey I have noticed every HBO/Showtime televised boxing match being like 10 dollars on PPV, I have directv so I'm not sure if other companies are showing those matches on ppv.......


What I'll miss is the Fight games 24/7 and such

Fukk is they pursuing; they are laying down in this war out of pride, when they have made money hand over fst with these fighters for years...



What the fukk Arum whispered in their ear

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

hbos propaganda commentary has worn thin aswell

they most probably have earpieces in telling them what to talk about, i think thats why kellerman has changed up.

roy is the only one who keeps it semi real

Bottomline is Bradley will have to go to the gutter for this one..............

While you have some points....Manny is one of the last guys I would want to gamble with. This aint Prov. If Bradley gets hurt bad, Manny will finish him. Manny aint that far gone and I wouldnt want to wake up the beast in him either. Its best to keep him complacent and having him signing unspoken agreements. I do think when Manny goes on the defensive....Bradley needs to put a lot of pressure on him. If Manny doesnt respond well then keep it up. If he starts to come alive...ease back.

In other words...Manny may not have the Eye of the Tiger as they stated....but its like muscle memory. You feel safe once you move to the suburbs...but once you go back to the hood, your whole mentality changes due to nature of the threat. Taking Manny to the gutter will likely bring back that General Santos City mentality.

good post

Bradley might fukk around and get dropped from a counter hook Manny was only throwing because of muscle memory

kovalev reminds me of mike mccallum a little bit. that jab to the liver that knocked agnew out, kovalev threw another jab to the same spot just a few seconds before he took that knee. i dont think he was too hurt but he was just defeated psychologically at that point those jabs to the liver just sealed it. he had his elbows up, almost to his chest at times, all night, with that liver wide open. i've never seen a jab knockout to the liver before but kovalev was smart to see those high elbows a lot of fighters get away with it

You are right Manny aint Prov, lets not pretend Manny aint have Bradley ready to go early in fight 1, this is my issue with picking Manny here, it's a how much he wants it thing, and from his actions very little, contrary to Bradley


I will waver alot on this fight, but thats what having when 2 great fighters are squaring off with one another.....

who knows but all they need is one more channel that ups the amount of good fight cards that they air and HBO will be in serious trouble

Maybe Starz needs to throw they hand into the boxing jar.

Wealth TV and NBC Sports been having better fights than HBO too sometimes.

Adamek/Glazkov >> anything HBO showed this year so far.
