Showtime To Do Another Tourney at Bantamweight

[Khalid X]

I disagree with putting in Darchinyan and leaving out Cermeno.

Cermeno has not only done more at 118 but is the better fighter.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I agree that he has done more at 118 but I still think Vic is a better fighter (maybe I'm being biased here though).

Dawg what does Vic gotta do to earn your respect...lol.

Nah man, nothing against him.

I respect him for what he's done and how he's tried to go about re-establishing himself after Donaire blasted him, I just don't think he'll be very successful at 118 due to his style and limitations.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I agree that he has done more at 118 but I still think Vic is a better fighter (maybe I'm being biased here though).

If it happens, get at me.

If Darchinyan fought like he did against Mijares, I'd give him a shot at anybody. He always gets too reckless though.

The bad news.


Format.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Showtime has left HBO in the dust this year, HBO better pull their heads out their asses and make that 140 Tourney already.

showtime is doing a great job w/ boxing.

even w/ the little budget they have as compared to HBO, they seem to get the job done.

too bad Top Rank & Goldenboy passed up on the tourney ideas.

If Darchinyan fought like he did against Mijares, I'd give him a shot at anybody. He always gets too reckless though.

Vic hasn't looked that good in recent fights though and it also helped that Mijares engaged Darchinyan.

Cermeno would in all likely hood do the exact opposite. Cermeno has the ability to dictate the pace of the fight and get his opponents to chase him. He actually makes opponents look worse than they actually are. I thought Moreno just edged him, but he even Moreno didn't look too good in spots. Did the same to Valdez and Mijares too.

[..WaRSpencE..]

Because they overpay the hell out of the guys they have.

BINGO!

Khan already makes a guaranteed $1million+ per fight..how?!

Who has he beaten?..
He's got no fan base in the states..and is hated by many Brits for being a Pakistani/

HBO has all the best 140lbers on HBO now and could have very well made a tourney with Bradley, Ortiz, Khan, Alexander, Judah, and Maidana and they're all HBO fighters..(except Judah, but he's no stranger)...

A super 6 six will be a dream come true for me, and more than anything fighting the best,and plus the fans deserve fights like this.

Good for Showtime!

I'm glad they are doing what the other network cant! Its better for boxing and definitely better for us viewers!

True and I see your point, but I was just looking at this purely form the perspective of making it the most competitive and best available fighters.

If anything, I'd expect Vic to get in and not Cermeno.

Vic's in 100% I confirmed with him last night
