Vitali Klitschko / McCline - on SHOWTIME?

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I thought Vitali is an HBO fighter... how did he end up on Showtime?

the HW does not catch my interest at all, after lewis retired and tyson left the sport, it wouldn't pay a dime to watch HW

Maybe it has more to do with the heavy-weights being ruled by people of white skin complection that has him not intrested in it anymore, even though he can say the heavy-weight divison sucks. But what was so special about the majoirty of bums tyson ko'd in the first round? So, basically I sense a hypocrite in niceguy. It's not like tyson, vitlai, and wlad choose to be in ****ty boxing eras... It's not their fault that they are better then the bums in their division.

maybe if wladimir , bites the ears of his opponents and gets convicted for **** and says how he wants to eat lamons children then he would pay more attention to the heavyweight scene?

Are you nuts? Vitali Klitchko is an extremely exciting fighter to watch. Unorthodox, prone to catching big shots, great chin, highly aggressive...his fights almost never go to the cards, he's constantly throwing, and he never lets another fighter get away with running or holding. Whether he's an ATG, or even the best of them right now isn't even important...he's what makes a heavyweight fight great to watch.

Hey, where did you read it? I couldn't find it anywhere.

HBO must not be doing many long-term deals with fighters anymore. Plus, Vitali retiring might have voided a prior contract anyway.

Wlad fought TOS on Showtime.

Other top fighters who have been on HBO, then on Showtime (and sometimes back to HBO) include Toney, Cotto, Tarver, Castillo, Brewster, Juan Diaz...

Showtime's better anyway. You don't have to pay extra for their PPV's if you're already a Showtime subscriber.

I would expect Klitschko to win this one. McCline is finished, at least mentally. But then again, how bad will inactivity and age affect Vitali in this fight???
