Fat Dan wants fights on HBO Legendary nights that weren't aired by HBO.

His fat ass show know better

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Would love to see Jacobs stomp a mud hole through Saunder's bytch ass.

- Broner wins relatively easily vs. Theophane.

he should...still not going to stop me from putting a bet on theophane though

- Yvon Michel told him that Beterbiev is likely to fight in June and is good to go after shoulder surgery.

he's going to fight during ramadan?

- More accomplished career: Castillo or Corrales? Hard pick. (Couldn't decide and picked them both)

- Believes that Boone would have KO'd Ward had the round not been over when Ward was knocked down.

- Likely location for Thurman vs. Porter is Barclay's.

- Toney vs. Jirov is probably the greatest CW fight in history (or Quawi-Holyfield 1).

those 2 are interchangeable although i prefer qawi-holyfield 1 as both are ATGs plus they went the old school 15...15 round fights like that resonate with me

- Even hardcore fight fans are not interested in Bradley-Pacquiao 3. Both guys have more interesting fights with other opponents. It isn't for lack of HBO promotion, it is just that no one cares. The PPV numbers should be much lower than Pacquiao typically generates. It is very possible this fight loses money.

i have a feeling some creazy shyt is going to go down on this PPV

- Hopkins wants a fight this year and says he would like the SMW title. Looking at the Abraham-Ramirez winner. Possible he lures Froch out of retirement.

bhop just won't retire

- No word on if Fury is staying in shape, but with how much he was partying at Wilder vs. Szpilka it wouldn't be a surprise if he was a bit out of shape.

fury never stays consistently in shape..if he's not facing a threat he comes in sloppy..if he is he comes in less sloppy lol

- Wants HBO Legendary Nights to be brought back. Shows he would want to see: Corrales-Castillo, Holyfield-Tyson 1 and 2, Chavez-Randall, Chavez-Whitaker, Tszyu-Judah, Mayweather-Canelo, and Calzaghe-Lacy.
- If Showtime did a similar show to Legendary Nights, good ones would be: Tapia-Ayala, Vazquez-Marquez, and Benn-McClellan.

how is HBO going to do legendary nights with those choices when some of them aired on showtime

- If there ever was a time to believe someone who tests positive for steriods, the Browne situation MIGHT be the one time to consider Browne is telling the truth.

why does he think lucas browne is telling the truth about his explanation with clen in his system?

- Erik Morales always looked horribly drained at weigh-ins, Rios-Abril and vs. Murray were bad as well.

Rios used to look like thinner at the scales lol

- Mills Lane was considered the best referee when he was active.

dude was great...its a shame a stroke incapacitated him

- Thoughts on Saunders-GGG: He called out GGG, GGG made an offer that was 4x what BJS had ever made, BJS turned it down, GGG signed another fight, and BJS calls GGG out after GGG signed his fight, BJS then goes and signs a C-level fighter. GGG can decide if he wants to go to the UK or not, he is the A-side. He is better regarded and sells out fights in the US. Saunders could barely sell 4-5k tickets for his fight with Lee.

saunders double talks and puts his foot in his mouth..the sooner the belt is off him, the better

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

hook me up with a nice link of broner vs theopane..im out tonight..

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

why does he think lucas browne is telling the truth about his explanation with clen in his system?

Basically said:
That fighters who test positive are always guilty and they know they are guilty, but they have to fight it publicly and deny it. Under regular circumstances there is no reason to give the fighter the benefit of the doubt.
In this case there has been some legitimate shady stuff that went down with this fight, plus the country he fought in against a hometown fighter.
It doesn't mean he is innocent, but maybe we should listen to Browne on why he could be.

Dan Rafael chat wrap 3/31:
- Even hardcore fight fans are not interested in Bradley-Pacquiao 3. Both guys have more interesting fights with other opponents. It isn't for lack of HBO promotion, it is just that no one cares. The PPV numbers should be much lower than Pacquiao typically generates. It is very possible this fight loses money.

The only person who wanted this fight to happen was Bob Arum and I hope he loses millions on it because this bullshyt didn't need to happen at all. There were other far more interesting options for both fighters.

- Doubts we see Canelo vs. Lemieux this year. Believes we see a Canelo-Cotto rematch negotiation for the fall, with Canelo-GGG being put off until 2017.
- The two most likely options for Canelo this fall will be a Cotto rematch or the winner of Pacquiao-Bradley.

I gotta disagree with Dan on this one. If Lemieux wins his fight against tapia and especially if he does it in a crowd-pleasing way, I think GBP would def do a Canelo/Lemieux fight as a reward for Lemieux for being a good soldier and to give Canelo a showcase fight for another highlight reel KO before moving onto bigger and better opponents.

- Things are trending towards very unlikely a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch will happen.

Was this rematch ever anything close to being a reality? And who was actually wanting to see this dull garbage again?

Anyone else think AB is going to try to rob Ashley for hisfor 50k after the fighf

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

A slip

 

[Mook]

- Had Vitali beating Lewis at the time of stoppage.

Damn Right


- Fan wrote in regarding Broner weighing in overweight: Did he forget to take the gun out of his pocket?





Y'all seen Berto - Ortiz 2 has a date and network right? shyt bout to be lit! @LeVraiPapi

Welcome back @SuikodenII breh!

Thanks a lot Ski, that means a lot coming from an OG.

I admit that after losing the greatest person in the world, I probably won't ever be the same, but I'm entirely grateful for all of ya'll here and I hope we reach another 100,000 posts.

I ask that we keep this as positive as possible, even in disagreement, cause life is too short not to enjoy the company you keep, whether it's family, friends, or even an online community. Let's put love first and keep supporting this sport we all love
