    HBO Prefers Berto-Malignaggi To Berto-Quinatana and Khan-Mali... [WTF]

    DiBella would like to instead match Berto with former titlist Carlos Quintana. The Garden loves the card, I am told. I love it too. However, HBO isn't jumping up and down for the show. For some reason, HBO seems to prefer Berto-Malignaggi. Dan Rafael

    Quintana would provide a serious test to Berto and Paulie would be a solid (safe) opponent for Khan's HBO debut. WTF is HBO doing?

    I think its because of the styles. I think HBO feels that Paulie & Khan are 2 boxing counter punchers with suspect power so it could be a dull fight for a headline but if you put Berto in with Paulie then it should be pretty exciting. Its not just that. They were hoping for Berto-Paulie & Khan-JMM but its not happening and they dont trust a Paulie-Khan fight. I think they will end up accepting though

            Just like Arum is protecting that little Boriqua mula lamb Juan Ma.

            But yeah, I agree Khan and Berto need to step it the fuck up.

                    Seems very foolish to me. That is an excellent BAD card.
