An eye for an eye: HBO steals Hopkins Pascal II from Showtime

[FloydTBE]

hbo got it..

[Pocket Dogs!]

I was wishing this would've been on Showtime. I'm getting tired of Lampley and his over the top commentating, Steward and his "I knew this would happen" predictions, and most of all Merchant and his ****** ass metaphors "They said blah blah blah stars and the sun and the galaxy."

[武士道]

It's like watching paupers steal from one another.

I'll be viewing the Super Six instead.

Froch-Johnson is 10x better than this fight. Why HBO puts it on the same night is ******.

[The Hammer]

I wonder if its going to take place in the States or its going back to Canada.

Well, they won't fill an arena in the USA with 18,000 fans to watch the boring old Bernard hold and headbutt.

Wlads fights aren't that much more interesting either........

To me they are. Beatdowns and brutal KOs are better than headbutts and holding.

But to each his own.

This is going against the super six that night too. I'm just glad this fight is happening. This fight did pretty good ratings on showtime, so it should be solid for HBO. I hope they put Cloud-Dawson on the same night. That'd be tight.

That's more like an eye for half an ear.....the lobe to me more precise......but ok I guess it's better than nothing.....

I'll take Hopkins-Pascal II anyday over Froch-Johnson. Froch's fight maybe exciting, but the outcome is more obvious. Throw in Pascal-Cloud with this and you are sure to have a bigger night.

It could be sold in Philly.
