    here's tua's play by play ahead of time.

    bernard will make it boring grabbing and holding his way to a unanimous decision loss while punching 10 times a round.

    he will later claim to have been robbed by the judges who actually score the fight closer in his favor than everyone else would.

    the end.
    I agree but one judge will have it close or give it to Hopkins

      Billy Dib? Seriously?
      Yeah, buddy....can't believe some of the undercards on PPV "events" they expect you to fork over $50 or $60 for. For that matter, Hopkins isn't really PPV material regardless....well, except maybe in this case, where he stands a good chance of getting stopped. I know alot of guys who are buying it for that reason alone.

        great minds think alike.

        there will be times when bernard makes kelly look silly but those will be far and few between.

            i can only hope for a tko/ko loss for 'nard.......

            only way that happens though is if 'nard runs out of gas.

Enough for even my old small town, Crawfordsville, to show all of the PPVs...they show WWE too but they've never had a boxing card on. They just don't have the audience.
              lets see...Small town in Indiana,WWE and UFC PPV's only no Boxing,JEEEZZZZ I wonder why UFC has the rep hillbillies LOVE UFC. Let me guess you go with your sister in your IROC and your buddy Billy Ray with the sweet mullet to the bar.

                You mean to tell me B-dubs cant put boxing up on one of their 40 TV's? Just one?


                i'd rather watch a choppy stream than sit in a bar full of drunk MMA fans that i dont know and listen to their bull****...

                  I honestly envy that MMA fans have not had to go thru the burden of seeing their fighters die from competing.

                      There has only been one guy... unlike various boxers each and every year...

                      I just got sick to my stomach today about hearing that another boxer dying.
