may as well cancel the Super Bowl while we're at it.

Good. Salita bores me.

Decent fighter that doesn't do anything with excitement.
I wouldn't mind seeing him in with another big name prospect.

Other than that, keep him on Broadway Boxing shows if you have to.

Bad news; Kotelnik suffered an injury that causes him to postpone his next fight. I've been his fan since I saw him do a very good job of dealing with Witter.

Good news; Though Norio Kimura of Japan was utterly defeated, he inflicted some damage to the champion.

i hope they dont get a replacement...salita's a boring fighter. this looks like its gonna be one of the worst hbo ppv ever.

They really need to add a fight to the PPV. Why not try to get Bradley or Holt to give Salita a title shot?
