Boring? Maybe to low IQ fans who only like brawls, but not fans of the sweet science.
Nah sweet science works best when one is a brawler another one the Master boxer if they both try to be the Master boxer it could turn into a game of tag easily but i predict one of them will step up and be the aggressor.
We put on nothing but quality cards. The best fighting the best.
HBO puts out ****. Keep paying for Zou Shiming vs. homeless Mexican bums off the street.
Funniest thing I have ever read on here hahahaha
GGG and Ward vs. Bums
HBO is nothing but hype.
Yeah, can't wait.
Dude all these SHO cards are packed with "bums": Paulie, Soto Karass, Ortiz, Judah, Porter, Seda, none of them are top 10 in the division. Even Maidana is a fringe contender at welter, and Broner is not top 5. And that's the main event on a PPV.
Theres not a single FOTY fight there on paper or a top 10 P4P fighter GTFOH OP
Kinda hard to predict which matchups will be FOTY, but this card seems to have a chance.
I have both channels so I really don't understand why people hate on either network, boxing fans win at the end of the day. I'm looking forward to the SHO cards as well as the upcoming GGG, Ward, Donaire and Rigo fights on HBO.
wow some good fights. And at least Alexander-Porter should be competitive, if not all that entertaining. I'll still watch it. I usually root against Victor Ortiz but I'm so bored with Carlos Molina's style that I'll be pulling for vicious victor. Thank God Trout-Lara is finally coming off too!
I think the Network/Promotion Split is good because if it did not happen someone like GGG probably would not be getting the coverage he is getting now
No question GBP has the deeper Roster so Showtime is able to stack up the Cards for the fans and give you a full night of good match ups while HBO and Top Rank just kinda give fans sh1t undercards even tomorrows PPV Undercard is SH1T!
But regardless I watch both networks and both promotions so it don't matter
Great cards! Hard to tell if goldenboy is trying to set up victor with the winner of maidana/broner or the winner of thurman/karass??? I guess we will find out soon enough
I guess he's setting up Victor with Alvarez. That's what they want imo!
So Rigo Abego is less enjoyable than Lara Trout? 28 fans for Rigo and Lara and Trout are big stars? Cmon, lara vs Trout will be a very technical fight.
Plus don't forget James Kirkland vs Glen Tapia is on the Rigo undercard which will be all action.
Kirkland vs Taps is must see tv.
Trout will toy with Lara.

As far as Showtime boxing goes.....I have to watch it with the volume muted. Good Ole Al Bernstein is the only one worth listening to. They have a bald dork on there that sounds like he just came from working a monster truck rally.
agreed, I hate that dude
SMH this **** is like WWE....like some Raw vs Smackdown ****.
How long have you been watching boxing? Boxing invented the brand split. Everyone else just copied it.

Nah..not killing HBO but doing a damn good job of competing with them !!!
Their December 7th card will kill Rigo card.
Trout vs Lara is excellent fight and Zab vs Paulie is the battle of NY.
Rigo is hard enough to watch and having a non-action fighter like Abego will make it even less enjoyable for Rigo's 25-28 fans.lol ...:boxing::boxing::boxing:
