Golden Boy will announce tomorrow Canelo Alvarez vs. Josh Clottey in December on HBO

Damn everyone was looking forward to that fight. Kirkland must have pulled out to fight Canelo, can't really see any other reason. you never know with kirkland...

CLottey? :lol1::lol1: Last time this clown was in a meaningful fight, he blamed his loss on a bad case of diarrhea. Then there were rumors of him purposely throwing the Pacquiao fight. He's a chump.

Kirkland is out of the Rosado fight on BHop-Kovalev card. Never finalized it. New fight likely Abregu vs Sadam Ali. (TR vs GB). #boxing— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) September 23, 2014 Clottey is favorite, but Kirkland still an outside possibility, I***39;m told.— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) September 23, 2014 Damn everyone was looking forward to that fight.

So you guys take i like this means Canelo will only fight for HBO now WTF I think there will be deals going both ways.

Cool. Well it seemed apparent this would happen when B-Hop made his move...this is great news for Canelo. And dammm, aside from the obvious Cotto fight, it makes Canelo-GGG the next huge fight on the horizon. That **** would be epic Holy sh1t your right bro and Canelo has balls unlike some people. He'll go for broke with GGG.

I'd like to see Andrade-Canelo or Canelo-Kirkland in the near future.

I think this could be a really interesting fight. Clottey is fighting for his career and has looked good moving up to 154lbs, if he has a good game plan he could take this fight by decision. Canelo should try for the KO to get the hype train rolling for Miguel Cotto. I will give Clottey this, he has some pop in those punches. He'll certainly test Canelo's chin unless he shows up scared and basically "shell-shocked" by the magnitude of the fight. Mundine should've lost just for wearing Nike running sneakers during this fight..his damn sneaker came off during the fight.

seems like the whole GB stable that are non-haymon fighters is going to hbo, im not sure BHOP is with haymon... He is. But yeah- I think GBP will have fighters on both networks but their main fighter likely back on HBO.

Very happy that this is a great step forward. GBP/HBO working together. Hopkins and now Canelo.... that's good for boxing.

bhop sounds like a one fight thing. if he wins, hes going back to showtime to fight Adonis. seems like the whole GB stable that are non-haymon fighters is going to hbo, im not sure BHOP is with haymon...

dont forget BHOP... bhop sounds like a one fight thing. if he wins, hes going back to showtime to fight Adonis.

big loss for showtime. HBO goes into 2015 with manny, canelo, chavez, cotto and GGG the 4 biggest ppv attractions and 5 biggest stars in boxing after Floyd. Add to that Crawford, Verdejo, Kovalev and Mikey and Ward (when they decide to fight) and HBO has solidified its position as the #1 boxing network. Showtime and Haymon had better use their roster wisely since they already are in 8-10 million fewer homes than HBO. they better start in Dec 2014 with Broner and Matts. dont forget BHOP...

Will there be some people getting axed over at Showtime? First the PPVs aren't producing a profit and now Canelo is going to HBO.

Showtime is taking hit after hit. Damn.

damn big news. gb fighter back on hbo, oscar making sh1t happen

Not mad at all. Can't wait for Canelo-Cotto in May!!! :boxing:

I hope the fight is not on pay per view.
