Comments Thread For: Hearn: Abril vs Rees, Golovkin vs Proksa in Play

Fighting on your opponent's home turf is always difficult, but Abril has had some hard luck. I'd hate to see Richard get robbed again. Too bad he doesn't have the power to take the fight out of the judges' hands.

let's not forget that rees was stopped by kotelnik who is not exactly mike tyson. i think abril's skill set is so far above rees's that he'll be capable of stopping him, just because he'll be hitting him so cleanly all night.

He's like Campillo, these guys have no choice but to fight on their opponent's turf and get shafted.

Abril schools Rees but probably gets robbed again though I do think Rees is a good, underrated fighter.

Abril might get robbed again, Rees sucks but he's busy as hell in the ring, the opposite of Abril.

Hearns is putting on some good fights of late. Matchroom Boxing is going to pick up a lot of fighters over the next few years.

Hopefully these 2 fights get the green light.

Poor Proksa, his promoter doesn't give a shit about him, so he is feeding him to Golovkin. He would never give his boy Barker to Gennady, but now he's hoping that maybe if Proksa will win it somehow, he will have easier fight for Darren for a title.
But that would be great doublheader, it just hurts me as Proksa fan as I know Golovkin is all wrong for him...

Yeah, Proksa's promoter is doing a huge disservice to him; he's getting his fighter a fight with one of the best mw's in the world and probably a good payday. Bad promoter...

sorry bro but mexicans and puerto ricans support and pack venues even when the fighter aren't very good, you just don't see that with cubans.

I'm not sure I agree with this statement. While Mexicans and Puerto Ricans certainly support their bigger names, lesser fighters don't necessarily "pack venues." For one thing, it doesn't make economic sense. Mexican boxing fans wanting to support their countrymen have too many athletes to follow. They have to literally choose their battles wisely. And while a guy like Cotto might have Puerto Ricans flying in from the island to watch him fight, someone like Cintron would be lucky to get even minimal support by his own people.

what a pair of great match ups, i hope it happens. abril made me a fan when he exposed rios, he deserves another title fight after getting completely robbed of a title/win.

I'm a fan of both fighters and I hate that these two dudes have to take each other out so soon. Proksa has a lot of potential but needs more development, a brutal KO loss to GGG might ruin his career...

hearn is great for british boxing -- even though his two fighters get owned in these match-ups.

I hope Golovkin finally lands a good opponent, the entire division avoids him.
