Pat keep me posted on the lines for Miura/Beichert..........no way Miura gonna be able to survive another war, this will be three in a row.
I think Barrera is gonna box the shyt out of Joe, but get caught with something hard, gotta see how his recovery skills are. Good fight. BTW BeterBeast both knocks them out cold, under 6 rounds.

Brook: Khan is a Media Whore, Likes To Get Done in For Money!
By Chris McKenna in Fuerteventura, courtesy of The Daily Star
KELL BROOK has labelled Amir Khan a “media whore” who doesn’t mind getting “done in” for big money.
The Sheffield star is at his training camp in Fuerteventura preparing to defend his IBF welterweight title against American Errol Spence Jnr on May 27 at Bramall Lane.
Bitter rival Khan will be ringside at the home of Sheffield United working as a TV pundit.
But while Brook is heading for one of his biggest nights, Khan’s career has stalled since his knockout defeat by Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez a year ago in Las Vegas.
The former light-welterweight world champion has not fought since and has undergone hand surgery as well as dealing with fall outs between his family and friends.
But Brook showed no sympathy as he stuck the boot in on his foe over his family issues and career.
He said: “It’s comical. He is Amir Khadashian. He has so much drama around him, he is in the paper all the times for the wrong reasons. It’s all good, it’s funny.
“I have heard he is a bit skint and has problems with his dad. I am hearing his wife wants a big fancy house.”
Khan and Brook have so far failed to agree a deal for a fight that could be worth around £30m.
But the Bolton boxer came out last week and insisted he wants to get it on before the end of the year.
Brook said: “It’s annoying when he talks about me but that’s what he does. When (UFC star) Conor McGregor has something going on he starts telling the world he wants to fight him.
“He is a media whore, he wants it. I think he’s after a big-money fight and he knows he would get done in, but he doesn’t mind getting done in for money. I think he wants it.
“Maybe with these big fights that have been happening lately - Bellew vs Haye, Joshua vs Klitschko, Golovkin vs Canelo - fighters have the bit between their teeth now and want to step up and fight.
“I am sat here and I get asked questions about him all the time and does my head in. It grinds me. It’s just a fight that I don’t need an alarm on my phone to wake me up for. It would be a really fun fight to build and have.
“The paying public and the fans want to see it and I just want to give it to them. Will it happen? We have to wait and see.”

I want this very much to succeed and include REAL top fighters but I'm still careful with my expectations knowing that Sauerland is behind this. I just hope this whole thing won't be some stunt, free publicity for Sauerland fighters who nobody gives a fukk about but it will be exactly what they promised or at least close to that.

So......it seems like Bradley actually DIDNT wanna get in there and rumble with The Ohio Powerhouse huh?
No wonder Shawn Porter and Kenny were excited at first about their potential opponent, but now we know who it is that declined the opportunity to face Porter and possibly Thurman afterwards

They should've included the fact that it was when AB was still a 135lber, in preparation to move up to face Paulie at 147, and Spence was at 154.
But then again, it's AB, so things like that don't matter
this is broner...i dont think weight wise he was anywhere near 135 brehThey should've included the fact that it was when AB was still a 135lber, in preparation to move up to face Paulie at 147, and Spence was at 154.

Its sparring he went on to win his fight afterrwardk (barely) Spence did his job.

I doubt Spence was anywhere near 154 either......he's already told us a he's a huge 147lber that walks around higher than Brook does
