By Jake Donovan - That time of the year is rapidly approaching for Americans. Three more weeks before we as a nation elect our next President, even if far too many in the voting public aren’t particularly thrilled with the two leading candidates from which to choose.
With little in the way of a strong alternative, the reluctant choice will inevitably come down to Blue Donkey or Red Elephant once they enter the booth. Voters will keep campaign promises in mind in choosing one or the other, though not under the belief that either will deliver on even half of what was said on the road to Election Day, but based more so on intent.
It’s along those same lines that many in the boxing industry view the main event on tap this weekend, when Kelly Pavlik and Bernard Hopkins share a ring in Atlantic City, NJ (Saturday, HBO PPV, 9PM ET/6PM PT). It’s not quite the fight we asked for – it wasn’t even Team Pavlik’s first or second choice – but one on which the boxing public will ultimately settle. And of course, it’s an event where both promise the performance of a lifetime in an evening well worth your $49.95 PPV investment.
One difference between the Presidential race and this weekend’s bout is the level of guess work involved in stressing over broken campaign promises.
The former is a matter of what they will eventually take off the table and how long it takes before the first promise is broken. [details]
