No surprise really. HBO turned their back to American fighters. Imagine Boxnation banning Eddie Hearn.
Eddie Hear has an exclusive contract with Sky So...
Yep.... can't forget what happened to Ricky Hatton. Poor Malignaggi was calling the fight for Sky and had to sit there and watch his payday disappear at the hands of a guy he'd beaten. :rofl:
Hatton had already beaten Malignaggi comprehensively years ago, there was never going to be another fight with Malignaggi. Malignaggi works sporadically for sky sports.
Uh... no. Hatton and Malignaggi were slated to have a big-money rematch for Malignaggi's title until Senchenko derailed it.

I stand corrected cheese ****.
How did Quigg look after the Frampton fight? Haven't kept up with his fights, and Valdez looked like sh*t in his last fight and the Marriaga fight.
He looks looked good but the competition hasn't been upto much.
The Frampton fight was close though I didn't feel that Frampton outclassed him more so that Quigg was gunshy after suffering a broken jaw.
I think Quigg gets it done tonight.
Has there been anything definitive yet?
Yes it's definitely on.
Scott Quigg to win at 11/4, yeah I'll have a bit of that.
Hopefully Quigg outweighs him considerably in the ring and this is a telling factor.
11/4, unreal odds.
These tournaments have really introduced Kalle 'The Hoover' Sauerland to the wider boxing audience, especially the UK audience.
The consensus seems to be, most British boxing fans love this guy because he's so, so weird and his flagrant cocaine abuse is somehow adorable.
Here he is giving a young lad free ringside tickets to him and his Mum because they were caught up in some trouble. Heart of gold that lad.
At the same time there is speculation he was trying to coerce the kid to gamble, hit on the mum, and laying down preliminary plans going to use the child's hat to smuggle in Kalle's magic mix to the venue.
The comments on this video are outstanding. Comments like those are the true meaning of the internet. When likeminded strangers get together to playfully take the piss out of someone and at the same time make them into a bit of legend because Kalle is clearly a good egg.
I have been honouring Kalle in my signature for the last 6 years now, the man is a hero.
No question that ricky Hatton has a top notch resume, especially at 140..
Dude only lost in his prime to manny and floyd, both at their absolute peaks... Nothing to be ashamed of..
You also left of the solid win over Ben tackie that turned Hatton into a true world title contender, he also has a good stoppage win over titlist maussa...
I always wish hatton would have fought Judah, morales, corrales, gatti and Bradley..
Especially Corrales and gatti.. Those would have been huge in 05-07
I can remember watching the Baldomir-Gatti fight and Billy Graham was a pundit in the Sky Sports studio. I never forget him saying "That's just cost me an absolute fortune" (Baldomir beating Gatti :lol1:). The fight was to happen next.

How much more obvious can it get?.

You're comparing Collazo to Duran and Khan to Leonard?
:lol1:
Also, FYI : Leonard/Duran 2 was a close, competitive fight up until the point where Duran quit. So your comparison tells us that A.) You never watched Leonard/Duran 2 and only saw clips on Ray's "Beyond the Glory", and 2.) You suck at making comparisons.
You do realise they didn't even have a fridge in Greb's day?. With todays modern techniques and sports nutritionists, i simply don't see how it would be farfetched to compare a Duran to a Maidana or a Leonard to a Collazo.
