i agree, but just wish it was on HBO

Doesn't matter to me either way. I prefer the HBO cards but I can't stand Merchant & Lampley. I'd take Berstein any day of the week over those biggots. I do like Max & Steward though. Regardless, I subscribe to both for the

If Khan beats Peterson on May 19th, he should fight Devon Alexander in August. That's 3 months between fights, more than enough time. I doubt that happens though.

I wish the Brook-Alexander fight would happen.

He should at least fight a WW first

Just by taking a quick look at boxrec and top 25 welterweights, and knowing showtime, im predicting the opponent will be Antonio Decarie, who fights at the bell centre on 4/20 for the WBC international title, so it will likely be for the WBC silver title with Alexander, maybe in Montreal, and it can set up a fight between Devon and t Guerrero, if Guerrero gets by Aydin for the full WBC title.

i'd like to see alexander vs ortiz if the berto fight is pushed back again from his injury.

I never understood this - why do networks buy a fighter's fight w/o knowin who the opponent is - this often leads to so-so fights because theyl get whoever the "best available opponent" is.
Ths happens with gary russel Jr. networks such as HBO and Show agree to televise his nxt fight, then he fights some bum.
I agree Devon Alexander is a hot ticket now after comin off him latest win, but Alexander vs winner of Berto-Ortiz wud b a great fight to buy, but that wont happen in August, so instead Alexander will probably end up fightn a B level opponent instead of an A opponent
Networks should buy fights, not fighters

wtf is this it seems more and more good fights going to showtime. And all these fighters who HBO was loyal too (Williams, Berto and Alexander) are moving over wtf

Golden Boy's attorney took over for Showtime, thus why fighters like Ortiz, Lara, etc.. are now fighting on Showtime.
