I cannot get excited at all about Tarver and Johnson. I hope Johnson knocks him out but I don't think I will waste my time watching this thing.

why can't Gatti vs Mayweather be this weekend!!

Boring indeed but there is Phillips vs Quartey, although I feel both fighters have seen there best days. What could be a really exciting fight, I expect Quartey to keep his distance and jab Phillips all night to a UD victory.

Boring? Did you think the first fight was boring? I know it wasn't Castillo-Corrales, but it was a damn good fight and I expect more of the same Saturday. I expect Mayweather-Gatti to be much more boring, with a lopsided decision going to PBF. Think Winky-Tito redux.

Agreed!

Plus look at Tarver's track record of losing the first and winning with one big shot in the second fight. I hate Tarver and would love to see Glenn get another victory.

I just can't imagine paying for Hopkins vs. Tarver on PPV....that would be absolutely dreadful.

The first fight was very entertaining to me.

I found it rather boring, I was expecting Tarver to come out in a blaze of glory and Johnson fight the fight of his life. I am not a fan of the 175 division so it doesnt interest me much but the first fight was dull as hell. Both fighters didnt fight there best and should have.

I enjoyed Tito vs Winky because of the skill Winky showed, he shut down everything Tito had and didnt let him do anything. Tito looked hopeless and dead

This fight is a PPV here in Canada. They want $35 for it. There is a pub one block from my house that shows every fight PPV or not, and I won't even go there to watch this, yet PPV wants $35?
Don't get me wrong, I think it'll be a decent fight. I just don't think it's worth dropping $35 for a PPV or $20 for some beers and wings at my local bar just to see it.

If Bars here would show fights I would be at everyone even those lame DLH ppv's. Boxing is boxing and I love it and never want to miss a beat of it.

Id easily go see Tarver vs Johnson without hesitation for the "what will happen" factor.

Mayweather-Gatti has the potential to be much more boring than this fight.

Tito-Wright WAS more boring than this fight.

Tarver and Johnson were/are closely matched. The aforementioned matches could be or were severe blowouts. Tarve-Johnson isn't worth a PPV, but if you think it's "boring" well...you must also like the taste of ****.

The first fight was very entertaining to me.

same here..and getting to watch it live (for the first time ever!!) will only add to the exictement! There are a total of 10 fights on that card (according to SoundTraveler), so surely out of all that there will be some good action!

Tracy-That card is stacked you shouldnt have any problems picking out a favorite or having a good time.

Lightweight-I agree about the Gatti vs Mayweather fight, Mayweather knows it is risky for him to be in there with a bigger man. I wouldnt be surprised to see Mayweather use his jab all night long. He could embarass the hell out of Gatti.

I know it...and me and my kid are so excited!!! Just the atmosphere and getting to experience something like that..will be amazing! And getting to meet all the fighters too aint bad :D ST said Ann Wolf was bringing me and my mini-me some autographed photos (very cool) so I really look forward to meeting her. Just a great time all around.

I wasn't bored, though I felt Tarver won the first match and feel like this match is pointless. I cannot hardly get excited for the match as well. After Mike Tyson lost last week, which was a big personal letdown, it is even harder for me to look forward to this match. I will be watching, rest assured. This is Ike Quartey's first fight back in years, against a live body. Years ago, he should have wiped the floor with Verno Phillips. Now, its a real toss up. I'd lean toward Verno just for more activity, but if it goes decision, the judges might go with the bigger name regardless of if he deserves it or not, especially if it is close.

Now, I am slowly starting to look forward to Mayweather vs. Gatti again. It has been a very hard time for me. One of my New York brethren was defeated and retired, my favorite fighter of all time. I am now convinced that Tyson's loss is all my fault. Since I have been at boxingscene, I have yet to win a single bet:

Tito vs. Winky: I bet Tito
Golota vs. Brewster: I bet Golota
Tszyu vs. Hatton: I bet Tszyu
Abdulaev vs. Cotto: I bet Abdulaev
Tyson vs. McBride: I bet Tyson

I should shoot myself in the face. Mr. Knives, after I pay your money, I believe I want no money. I have a gambling problem. Since I lose all my money anyhow, I will start giving it to people rather than betting them. The end result is the same anyhow. I should be banned from this website and maybe all of boxing so that I quit ruining my fighters.

With that being said, GO GLEN JOHNSON! I wish to bet lots of money on Glen Johnson.

Johnson's style will prevent a boring fight
