      Ha I like Powel Wolak but back before he lost, I thought he was gunna be like the next beast in the division, I don't know what made me think that. But it will be a good fight regardless.
      HBO will not show the Wolak fight.

        Who do you guys favor in the Wolak fight?

        I mean I guess Wolak is the better guy but I've seen them both and neither one is a world beater. At 6-1, I am happy to have my money in on Moore as I see it as almost a toss up fight.

          Let's see the attendance numbers first.

          This fight hasn't really been that hyped. Its only known of in boxing circles.

          When my friends heard of Miguel Cotto fighting Foreman, they asked "oh didn't he fight Ali?"

          P.S. Ты русский или украинец?
          Ukrainian, you?

          I hope they're showing the undercard fights.

          I'm just urked because if you're going to hold a fight in a huge stadium in the US you should have 2 or 3 significant fights, hopefully with 1 or 2 of those that will make for crowd pleasing matchups. Get some good press and draw casuals in.

          You have this huge stage and the line up they choose is worthy of being held in a casino with 8k fans.

            Maybe Im alone but I never seen Cotto in a boring fight.

            I also never seen Foreman fight someone who can impose their will on him.

            This will be a good fight.

              To call this match up a super fight is total bull****.

                I have some Russian ancestry, that's why I asked. Ukranian women blow the Russian broads out of the water.

                  Just say it how it is...


                  Its getting a lot of attention for the simple fact that Foreman is ***ish. There is a big ***ish population in US and NY in particular so it's going to generate a lot of noise.

                  I think Cotto will make easy work of him, but you guys gotta remember this is about making money.

                    I'm sure Yankee Stadium has something to do with it too.

                      I think it will be a good fight too. I think people are vex because Foreman isn't a house hold name the fact of the matter is you don't need a name to provide a good fight.

                      If Cotto can successfully cut the ring off and get his body work in it should be a interesting fight.
