HBO can still make the most important fights of the year like Ward vs Kovalev, but I think they save Canelo for Manny.
Not even hating at all, to be honest when you said "HBO last week" in your title, I was like wtf is he talking about. I had completely forgotten GGG/Gonzalez had an event. It was so forgettable. Though that guys McWilliams Arroyo put in a better effort than most anticipated.
Oh? Two bums in Ortiz and Berto, and a group of fighters either long in the tooth with average fighters struggling to perform.
I didn't even bother watching.
Chocolatito alone was better than this this weekend.
Great night of Boxing
Great night of Boxing for hardcore fans a lot of questions got answers tonight my favorite sport that I love is Heating up Berto uppercut was sensational degale vs medina was tremendous fight close fight Bute vs Jack was a good even fight that badou was winning clearly through 6 rounds I had it 6 3 Badou but Bute works rate and combinations was Rising and Jack was getting tired by the 12 round I had badou winning the fight by 1 point but Bute close strong which even it up badou body shot is what i was impressed by they were landing at will but his tank in the last 4 rounds let Bute get back in the fight
Showtime is putting on the best most competitive fights, even if the fights aren't barn burners. At least we're getting high quality top rated guys against each other. That's very rare nowadays.
