HBO and Showtine go head-to-head

i going to watch casamayor beat castillo. casamayor then should fight chico in the trilogy.

eastman would beat taylor

Joppy may give Taylor a little bit of problems early. But I see Taylor later in the fight winning by KO. Joppy seems to start fast, then gets caught moving straight back. Taylor will weather the early storm and put Joppy on the canvas.

I still have nightmares about Joppy's face after the Hopkins fight. The only way I think he can beat this kid is by a KO. If it is a close fight and goes to the cards they'll cheat for the up and coming Taylor.. No need for a cheat. Taylor's for real.

I'd rather watch the Showtime card than the HBO card. A totally shot Joppy is not really a step up for Taylor. I don't like Malignaggi's style for some reason it's a bit boring for me to watch. The kid is cocky as hell though but he probably will fight some nobody that's why his opponent hasn't been announced.

It's just a gif I pulled off of archive.org - somebody gif'fed an image off one of those old public domain movies. That's the same place I found the one where the guy was vomitting the purple stuff.

Thanks for the info - I like this Malignaggi kid, but 140 is so deep, I'm surprised he's getting on TV. This explains it. I guess HBO's soured on Bojado, now. Paulie's got a few more fights under his belt than Fransisco. hey, who the hell is that in your avatar?

I hate when this happens, on December 4th both HBO and Showtime will have great cards but only one can be watched live. What is it going to take for these networks to stop skrewing over boxing fans like this. HBO card- Jermain Taylor VS William Joppy (whatever happen to Eastman?) Pauli Malignaggi VS TBA Showtime card- Joel Cassamayor VS JL Castillo Jeff Lacy VS Omar Sheika are you fuckin kidding me? i dont have showtime and i will break someones face if i cant see the casamayor/castillo fight. see what you did? now im pissed :mad:

The only reason he is on that undercard is because he is signed with dibella as well as taylor, So that is how he got the shot because it is fully a dibella card.

Im gonna watch Castillo vs Casamayor.

That's why they've got Tivo. Actually, going head-to-head might help their ratings. There's double the chance a boxing fan will flip to their channel that night. When the monday night wrestling wars were going on, the ratings were higher for each show on Monday nights than the ratings were for WCW Thunder and WWF Smackdown!, which both ended up being the only show of that kind on at once. Some boxing fans like myself will record both and don't want to miss a second; others will flip back and forth between the fights and watch the one that looks most interesting. I'm surprised HBO's ready to give Malignaggi a TV shot already. Even Showtime had him on ShoBox, not an undercard of a major show. The only reason he is on that undercard is because he is signed with dibella as well as taylor, So that is how he got the shot because it is fully a dibella card.

You got me, but she's hot though So the Taylor camp is going with Joppy because they think he will be the easier match-up. In that case I kinda hope Taylor goes down as well. Joppy always comes to fight so, he does have a fighters chance. HBO is in NYC and Showtime is in Vegas, so mabey the times will allow us to see both cards. Showtime will open with some BS heavyweight fight. Taylor has never been pressured in a fight, Joppy comes out firing *look back at his fight with trinidad*. Taylor has never fought a guy that aggressive...How do you think he will handle it???? Deciding on Taylors power will be the key to see how the fight turns out....If Joppy comes forward like he always does, Taylor has nowhere to run......I dont give joppy much of a chance but he could easily cut the ring off for taylor.

showtime as some good fights coming up Yeah they have had some damn good boxing this year, it would be even sweeter if Corrales/Castillo was signed though.

By the way who is that girl on your avatar? You got me, but she's hot though So the Taylor camp is going with Joppy because they think he will be the easier match-up.

i cant belive i am saying this but..its has to be showtime this time...anyway ...Taylor thinks joppy will prove he stepping it up..come on..after getting beat up and killed by tito and nard..this aint much of a step up..and the other guy i dont know...so it has to be showtime... showtime has KT vs Shambra...showtime as some good fights coming up

I hate when this happens, on December 4th both HBO and Showtime will have great cards but only one can be watched live.

Pauli Malignaggi VS TBA Showtime card- Joel Cassamayor VS JL Castillo Jeff Lacy VS Omar Sheika Joppy has been off a year and hasnt trained one bit, perfect pick for taylor *snoores* I hope Joppy knocks him off....His Jab WILL match Taylors nicely...No doubt about that.... Malignaggi should be a good fight, Finally I get to see this man fight.....Hopefully it is against an A/B class opponent.... Lacy will destroy sheika, Cassamayor and castillo will snoore to a boring decision...... I will Tivo Both, But watch HBO live.
