Two excellent doubleheaders on Showtime in September?

Those are two very solid cards Tunney, so HBO let their discrimination against Wlad cloud their judgment and Showtime capitalized huh?

HBOs loss is Showtime's gain.

LOTS of people in the USA will enjoy seeing two former Olympic gold medal winners fight for the Ring, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweights titles!

And because of Povetkin's aggressive style and fighting spirit, it will be a very entertaining fight. He's not going to just try to survive and go the distance.

Yes. Ross Greenburg said they decided on Monday not to show any more Klitschko fights. They are not showing any more Lucian Bute fights this year either.

He says the only Klitschko fight he's interested in is one with David Haye. Greenburg obviously doesn't like white European boxers.

He said HBO will focus mainly on showing American boxers and the 140 pound division.

Once again, Showtime>HBO.

Love both those cards in a big way.

i foresee a hand injury

Tunney Greenburg has a point. No one watches Wlad when he fights on HBO.

Haye vs. Wlad is the only BIG heavyweight fight. Im sure you get that. You play the race card way too much man. Its not that serious. The only color greenburg cares about is not black or white...its green.
