Trouble in paradise? One of Amir Khan's sparring partners kicked out of camp


Also I got gym footage of a Junior Welterweight who might take some step up fight very soon, rumored to fight Monty Meza Clay

Dan Rafael chat wrap 11/21:

- The Klitschko's get very little respect in America because they are not American. If they were American they would be superstars by now.
Which is fukked up especially on thsoe P4P lists where Wlad is in the bottom half while dominating his division for over a decade.

- Does not know the exact amount, but does know Mayweather paid Pacquiao "millions" to settle the civil suit where he accused Pacquiao of taking PED's.
:ufdup:

- Danny Garcia does not have an exclusive contract with Showtime, so he could make a fight with Pacquiao...if Haymon allowed it.
Make it happen, Al!

- Wladimir would be a big favorite against all 3: Jennings, Stiverne, and Wilder. He would like to see Wlad fight Jennings and then fight the Stiverne-Wilder winner. Technically the Fury-Chisora winner is his mandatory. If he wanted to fight any of the mentioned fighters, the WBO would allow him an exception to fight whoever he wanted, in whatever order he wanted.
We could possibly have a big time heavyweight fight in Vegas for the first time in the longest and maybe even on PPV if Wlad fights the winner of Stiverne/Wilder.

- Both sides have talked about making Canelo-Cotto. Once Top Rank gets back from China expect more to get done.
Don't fukk it up, Bob and Oscar!

- Response to is Peterson-Garcia close to being made? "Ask Espinoza".
Does anyone even care about this fight anymore? If it gets made I anticipate a collective :manny: from the majority of the boxing world.

- Predicting between 500-600k buys for Pacquiao-Algieri.
That seems too optimistic to me.

- Does not think Canelo-Cotto does 1 million PPV buys.
I see that fight doing a million easy.

- Potential to be a bigger star, Mikey Garcia or Thurman? Thurman - he has a better personality and fighting style.
:lethallisp:

- RJJ said he would like to broadcast a fight, work a corner, and fight in the same night...and there was no doubt he was serious.
Coming to a Russian arena in 2015.

- Andre Ward is no closer to being back in the ring.
:snoop:

- Vargas is a name Arum has mentioned as a possible future Pacquiao opponent.
:stopitslime:


- FNF season premier main event: Darleys Perez vs. Jonathan Maicelo.
:blessed: I have missed drunken Teddy Atlas.

- Gary Russell fight vs. TBA (seriously) on Dec. 20th in Shelton, WA off TV.
:deadmanny:

2012 United States Olympian and highly touted professional, Errol "The Truth" Spence, will square off with veteran "Mighty" Mike Arnaoutis on December 13th, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout is part of a star studded cast on the undercard to the Amir Khan vs. Devon Alexander Showtime televised main event, with Keith Thurman, Abner Mares, Victor Ortiz and Beibut Shumenov scheduled to appear in separate contests.
For Spence (14-0, 11 KO's), this is a long time coming as he's wanted opponents with name recognition since the beginning of 2014. Offers to Alfonso Gomez, Vernon Paris and others were rebuffed, so in steps the gritty Greek, Arnaoutis (25-10-2, 12 KO's). Arnaoutis spent the bulk of his career as the gatekeeping to the upper echelon at 140 pounds and has campaigned at '47 for the last half decade or so.
With names like Danny Garcia, Juan Urango, Kendall **** and Victor Ortiz on his ledger, Arnaoutis clearly carries the edge in experience. But no pretense here, as Spence has substantial advantages in every other category.

im wondering now what fights are going to be on the main card and what fights are going to be on sho extreme :ohhh:
