Should be fun right, BPP?

[Silencers]

Oh joy.......

This could be an ugly fight.

I will be there.

[mspiegelo]

i will be there as well. I've been to B-Hops last 3 fights (not including Calzaghe), and always wanted to see the ghost live. I didn't really want to see him against my boy, but it should be interesting. Hopefully B-Hop doesnt get Ko'ed in his farewell performance...

I'm pretty sure Bhop isn't going to beat you up, no matter how much you want it

B-Hop is fighting Pavlik just to justify his losses vs. Taylor. Thats how the man thinks. He needs to retire.

Also losing to a whiteboy. And you can't get more white than Mavrick.

170??? That's gay, why dont they make it 160 so the titles are on the line? Or maby Poopkins can't make 160 anymore.
