HBO hasn't learned its lesson televising Wlad with his snoozfests and low ratings?

[Earl-Hickey]

No offence to wlad but I'm not too interested in this one, Povetkin is just another opponent

About 5 years ago Povetkin had something, he was intense and you could tell he wanted it but since thenhhe's got so much worse.

I can't wait for this fight, what a showdown it'll be. Monstrous event.

Go for Showtime.

I hope Wlad beats the piss out of Povetkin.

[ShoulderRoll]

HBO doesn't like boring fighters so I'll be surprised if they bid on this.

This will be a really cool event, not much else. Wlad is going to make Povetkin pay for all his bull****.

[thuggery]

I hope Wlad beats the piss out of Povetkin.

It wouldn't surprise me considering Wlad is the most dominant HW of all time.
