Cotto-Branco and Klitschko-Peter headed to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City

Is there some kind of bus transportation between AC and NYC? I'm trying to take the bus up from DC to AC for the fight and the same night take a bus/train to NYC to visit my buddy. Anyone thoughts?

Nowadays, Sports = Politics :cool: Well of course Sports is a business like any other profit making company. But thats the key right there "profit" Klitschkos dont want to cash in on their success....As any business person should know is that the bigger the risk the bigger the reward and that stands true in boxing.

No I think they are well talented boxers but their whole way of dealing with issues is what makes me bitter. I think that have very very VERY GREAT potential but they hold themselves back. Nowadays, Sports = Politics :cool:

Good fight, Wladimir by UD. :) No I think they are well talented boxers but their whole way of dealing with issues is what makes me bitter. I think that have very very VERY GREAT potential but they hold themselves back.

You mean to say Wlad was really devastated by fast POWER punchers (Sanders, Brewster).. Byrd is one of the most skilled and fastest boxers in HW right now, yeah he's lazy and $hit and wins by pure luck, or with the help of DK... But Wlad gaving a boxing lesson.. Problem is Peter will be more than willing to eat Wlad's Jab or two to land his own left hooks. Sanders/Brewster possess speed and power Byrd is lacking in the power department. If Wlad paces himself and keeps a distance with the jab and throws one of his beautiful hooks it could be a cake walk. We know what Wladimir is capable of but we know nothing about Peter. This fight will be his coming out party if he wants to be a force.

Good fight, Wladimir by UD. :)[/QUOTE im suprised I thought u were a Klitschko hater...

Wlad was really devastated by fast fighters, despite his powerful hands I dont think he is fast enough. The one thing that makes me think Wladimir will win is his jab alone. Is Peter ready enough to deal with one if not the the best jabs in the heavyweight division? Peter stands a very good chance indeed but I still think he will have problems with Wlads jab considering he has never had to deal with a jab.You mean to say Wlad was really devastated by fast POWER punchers (Sanders, Brewster)..

I really have doubts Wlad can still last full 12 rounds. Aside from his recent stamina problems, he will be under a huge amount of pressure trying not to get caught by one of Peter's wild swings. This will burn him out.. :confused: He should stay loose, mobile, and keep firing that laser guided jab.. otherwise he will get caught.. But if Wlad wins.. this is how I see the fight happening... 1 - Peter starts Brewster/Golota Style.... Wlad backs out 2 - Peter tries again and again.... Wlad keeps backing... 3 - Wlad gains more confidence in the ring... Starts firing his Jab... 4 - Wlad, double jab followed by a left hook all night long... 5 - A straight right puts Peter out of his misery... Other Scenario... It will be Wlad/Sanders all over again Wlad was really devastated by fast fighters, despite his powerful hands I dont think he is fast enough.

Yea if I'm in the area, I'm fairly sure the fight will not sell out. You think it will? What do you mean if you're ever in the area? Do you just happen to wonder your way in to AC? :rolleyes: For all I know.. people always go to AC for a reason: Gambling, Fun, Boxing, Concerts, etc.. But no one just "happens to be in the area" :bottle: LOL

No, I'm not Asian Sensation ;) I will contact a buddy of mine who works for boxingtalk... see if he can hook me up with some ringside tkts for 1/2 price (as he usually does) Boxingtalk is nothing but a bunch of welchers! :D

cooler = asian_sensation????? if so, i'm trying to get a convoy together to get out there to atlantic city - i'm waiting for these tix to go on sale. hopefully both of these fights stay the same and this card comes to fruition.

I will be there come fight night. I'm in N.Jersey. My brother knows Sam peter from doing business with him Plus we're both Cotto fans so, I'll definitely be there.

Hopefully if everyuthing gets done I will go see the fight AC is like 2 hours away from where I live, I hope this fight gets signed...

If you go to HBO.com/boxing they have the cotto fight listed as a regular HBO and the Vlad/Peter fight (though not listed yet) will hopefully be one of the undercards. well, it IS a regular HBO program, u know, the good ones u dont have to shell out $50 for. god, i cant wait for this card.

So is this gonna be on HBO or PPV? If its on HBO it will be a steal. Im glad that Cotto is working his way up, beating every possible contender untill he faces the likes of Hatton/Mayweather. The fight with Branco should be interesting. Although he lost to Gatti he showed potential.

These are both going to be two really competitive fights, especially Branco vs. Cotto. I'll take Cotto and Peter by KO's, but I'm saying it now: DO NOT be surprised if Branco decisions the kid
