August 9th Showtime Boxing Card is a disgrace!

I also have to agree with a point you made earlier, which is that hopefully the fights will at least turn out to be much better and much more competitive then everyone anticipates. :) I just cant predict fights, I would rather let them play out. Makes them more enjoyable when you are not just looking at one guys punches at not the other guy who is also throwing and landing. Anything can happen in a fight. This is not a highly anticipated fight card, but i will be watching.

I agree with you, there are better fighters who deserve title shots, honestly they could have made all 3 non title fights. And believe me sir, im not "eating it up," I am just going to watch the sport i love and let the fights play out in the ring.

This card reminds of those wwf superstars show they used to have on Saturday mornings. The ones where a superstar would fight a pale guy with plain trunk named John Smith or something.

I'm actually glad fans are finally moving past Mayweather and Pacquiao. These other fighters have been getting a pass for fighting inferior opponents. Something that's unforgivable when it comes to the sport's top two. About time fans focus on throwing the deserved flak on these fighters. I just want them to both retire so everyone can move on.

Just like wine not all fights are created equal, if one enjoys fine wine it doesn't mean he will drink or purchase any bottle that's adverstised to him as such. The problem with this fight and this entire event is that it is being advertised to the public as something that it is not which is the best fighting the best. There are far more proven boxers in each of the fighter's that are being showcased divisions that desserve shots at these world titles, and these same proven fighters don't take on soft touches or breaks, instead they go out and prove themselves tough fight after tough fight in the hopes of getting a shot at a world title. I'm sure you enjoy boxing as much as anyone else on this website but just because you enjoy it doesn't mean you have to eat up everything they try to feed you. You have the right to demand better but to each their own. I agree with you, there are better fighters who deserve title shots, honestly they could have made all 3 non title fights.

I am not happy and I won't be watching these crappy fights. You talk about their past opposition as if that justifies them fighting stiffs. What fans want and expect is for them to take a page from Floyd Mayweather's playbook. Whether you like him or hate him, anyone on this message board who has any sense must admit that Floyd Mayweather has consistently fought the best fighter available in the last eight years. He may not have fought the person that fans wanted him to fight, but he has fought A-level competition in the last eight years. He has not had a Brandon Rios on his scheduled since his first fight at welterweight against Sharmba Mitchell. He had a tough fight against Maidana, but you can bet he won't be taking a breather in his next fight. He will be fighting another boogeyman. Even though fans on this message board criticize him like he is the worst person in the world, they want every fighter to take a page from his playbook and fight the best A-level fighters available. This board honestly always finds a way to put down Floyds oponent, so i will disagree with you on that one. The only thing i can say though dude is, they fight in the ring not on paper. I mean they are not the most eye catching mathups, i agree with everyone, but let the fights play out, and if they were terrible fights then cool, but if they are incredible fights.............

Who is Antoine Douglas what has he done and who has he fought? He is just a nice nice nice young prospect. he has been on ShoBox 2 or 3 times and everytime he is on their he is very impressive. He is the main event on July 25th card. Check him out. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=antoine+douglas+boxer&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=2F0B5BFCCC3B576ECB8E2F0B5BFCCC3B576ECB8E He throws too many power punches sometimes, but he seems very heavy handed. Cant find the whole Marquis Davis fight, but he knocked Davis tooth out. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2t7_jXN77M

Read Houg's post. I was referring to my Boxnation account. My bad. I think Shotime is honestly a must for any boxing fan.

Dont assume they are my favorite fighters, cause they are not. How does ANYONE know how these fights are going to turn out. Man i am happy i just watch the fights in the ring instead thinking I know whats going to happen. I subscribe to HBO & Shotime for boxing, everyhing else is extra. I will be happy to watch boxing on August 9th, cause I have no crystal ball on what will take place. Im going to enjoy my favorite sport. if the fights suck after the fact, I will complain (possibly), but if they turn out great, thats even better. Just thought about something, over the past 3-4 years, when was Garcia NOT in a competitive or good fight? Just like wine not all fights are created equal, if one enjoys fine wine it doesn't mean he will drink or purchase any bottle that's adverstised to him as such.

DANNY GARCIA VS. ROD SALKA LAMONT PETERSON VS. EDGAR SANTANA DANIEL JACOBS VS. JARROD FLETCHER Who the hell is Salka, Santana, and Fletcher? I am waiting on someone who posts on this message board to notice that, with the exception of Floyd Mayweather, GBP and Al Haymon only put their best fighters in the ring against each other every two to three years.

Garcia is two fights removed from fighting the "Boogeyman." Who is ducking? Petersons resume over the past 4-5 years has been solid, and he also fought the "Boogeyman." Who is he ducking. Happy im not like you, I just care about in ring fights, and would NEVER say someone is ducking. If you not happy, why complain or talk about it, dont watch. I will be watching cause this is my favorite sport. I am not happy and I won't be watching these crappy fights. You talk about their past opposition as if that justifies them fighting stiffs.

Serious question. Why would you cancel Shotime when they give you more fights, more new fighters than any other station? So you are going to miss Antoine Douglas on July 25th? Who is Antoine Douglas what has he done and who has he fought?

I'm bout to cancel that sh1t too after the Canelo-Lara PPV :rofl: Serious question. Why would you cancel Shotime when they give you more fights, more new fighters than any other station? So you are going to miss Antoine Douglas on July 25th?

This is an absolutely atrocious card, everyone agrees. However, anyone with any objectivity whatsoever has to find it comical that the people being most critical of the card are diehard TR nuthuggers who defend Manny undercards like their child is in danger.

If you enjoy watching what I pressume are your favorite fighters engage in soft sparring sessions then just check them out on youtube or show up to one of their media workouts. You don't need to subscribe to a premium network or purchase expensive tickets to a non-event to witness that. Dont assume they are my favorite fighters, cause they are not.

DANNY GARCIA VS. ROD SALKA LAMONT PETERSON VS. EDGAR SANTANA DANIEL JACOBS VS. JARROD FLETCHER Who the hell is Salka, Santana, and Fletcher? I agree. Peterson and Garcia should be fighting each other and Jacobs should be fighting Quillen. Golden Boy, Al Haymon and Top Rank have mastered the art of feeding fans bullsh.t and trying to convince us it is filet mignon.

It doesn't matter if the fight will be competitive or not, there's guys out there that are way more deserving of a title shot! I was a big Danny supporter until he pulled this crap. I'd rather see him face Peterson, Postol, Provo anyone but this guy. He's done nothing worth noting and hasn't even faced top 10 opposition or is even ranked highly. What part of that don't YOU understand? Ok, i spoke on the fact you stated that you want competitive fights, and i stated, you/us/we have no clue how the fight will turn out. Of course we always want the number one versus number 2 guy, OF COURSE. I understand what you are saying about not facing anyone, but doesnt garcia get a chance to get his game back in order after his disappointing performance against herrera? Look, all i am saying is, garcia could lay another egg, Peterson could get touched up, Jacobs could be a brawl. we dont know any of this until they get in the ring, which is where th fight takes place.

Golovkin is ducked by everybody. Who would duck Peterson and Garcia? These two are clearly the duckers. Apple and chicken. Go and disappear. Garcia is two fights removed from fighting the "Boogeyman." Who is ducking? Petersons resume over the past 4-5 years has been solid, and he also fought the "Boogeyman." Who is he ducking. Happy im not like you, I just care about in ring fights, and would NEVER say someone is ducking. If you not happy, why complain or talk about it, dont watch. I will be watching cause this is my favorite sport.
