Don't worry about it breh:obama:




True. The fight is definitely anticipated, and if pushing it back to January 23rd (which ironically AB is supposed to fight Theophane around that time too...may be on the undercard), we might have a great PBC card to start 2016 off right:banderas:

AB was on that card. Thurman's very next fight dropped 3 million in views without AB in the co-main....all the way down to only 1.2 million vs Collazo.


Thurman would be the A-Side of course over Porter, but anything more than the 57/43 split AB took against Porter is too much imo.

it should be 50/50

Garcia: Canelo Bout Has Been Mentioned For Rios

A few days ago, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum informed BoxingScene.com of a possible fight scenario for 2016 .

On November 7th, WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (32-1, 12KOs) will face Brand Rios (33-2-1, 24KOs) in an HBO televised bout from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

The winner could be in line for a lucrative opportunity against the winner of the November 21 showdown between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto and Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Arum has spoke with Golden Boy President Oscar De La Hoya, who promotes Canelo. De La Hoya is on board with matching his fighter against Bradley or Rios.

Robert Garcia, who trains Rios, informed BoxingScene.com that Canelo's name has been mentioned to them as a possible future opponent - if Rios wins next week.

The weight limit for such a fight would be interesting. Cotto-Canelo takes place at a catch-weight of 155-pounds. Garcia does not appear comfortable with Rios going up that high, but something between welterweight and junior middleweight might work.

"Canelo has been mentioned, but Canelo has a very dangerous fight. That fight is not easy, so we don't know if Cotto will beat Canelo. And we don't know if Cotto will be available because Cotto just left Top Rank," Garcia told BoxingScene.com.

"[Manager] Cameron [Dunkin] has mentioned a Canelo possibility. There are other welterweights that Top Rank has and there a lot of junior middleweights that Top Rank has, that maybe at a catch-weight would make a lot of sense."

We do that on Tuesdays on The Ruckus. We even do it on Saturdays for our After the Final bell show. We gotta record a couple of eps to get the flow down and after we gel it, we'll have folks calling in. I'm going to let folks tweet questions for them to answer for tomorrow.

good lil card for quill vs jacob


Chris Algieri v Erick Bone added to Jacobs v Quillin card

.......................................................................................



Antoine Douglas: I want Danny Jacobs or Peter Quillin


Antoine-Douglas.jpg



ANTOINE DOUGLAS:


“I know my opponent is a tall southpaw. He likes to fight on the inside and smother his opponents with his punches. It’s a good matchup. I can adjust to any boxer face.


“I’m satisfied with the way that my career has progressed, taking steps up with each opponent along the way. We’re ready to take that next step, more toward a title shot.


“If all goes well with my fight against Les Sherrington I hope to start fighting on Saturday, make that move from ShoBox to SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING.


“I see myself fighting for a world title in the near future. There are plenty names in the division that I look at, but only a few guys that hold the titles. I look at Daniel Jacobs and Peter Quillin as guys that I would like to fight.


“The Jacobs vs. Quillin fight could go either way. I think I’m leaning more towards Quillin.


“I was born prematurely. Doctors told my family that I wouldn’t be able to walk or see, but look at me now. My mom is always screaming at my fights because she’s so proud of the fact that I’ve overcome so much.


“I grew up with my siblings bouncing around at different foster homes from the age of 5. I was running the streets because I didn’t know any better.


“My cousin adopted us and he first introduced us to boxing.


“Boxing provided me with a family, structure and disciple. It has made me the person I am today and has brought me success so I can live a better life in the future.


“My upbringing in the streets prepared me for my career in the ring. I have already been through the battle and if something was to stop me it would’ve already happened.


“My mom battled addiction when I was younger and she wasn’t in my life. She’s now back in my life and it means a lot to me to have her supporting me with my career. I am also able to provide structure in her life.


“It would mean everything to me to have my mom and I celebrate a world title.”

Breh...the sentences bolded above are a dead giveaway that fight is a pipe dream.


#CaneloCartel isn't fighting anyone below 154 at minimum or 155 at maximum. :canelocartel: is already on record saying this multiple times
