Way too many PPV's.

Wow what a damn good card

[Da Machine]

Broner on PPV thhis early is a joke! I see them working though there trying to stack the card to help sales, I still dont see this PPV doin well.

THis fight should be on HBO. Broner does not have a big following and no one outside of hardcore fans know Maidana. Not a PPV fight.

Terrible matchmaking on the Molina-Ortiz fight. I'm a fan of Schaefer and GB, but Top Rank would know better than this. Active top 10 JMWs can't take Molina off his game. You expect Ortiz to have a good shot at winning off a 1.5 year layoff, and his first fight in the weight class?

lol, showtime must be desperate, they blew most of their budget trying to cover the costs of the floyd vs guerrero ppv loss

this will flop big time, to the average person, no guy on this card deserves to be on ppv, I predict about 150k buys at most

Kirkland knew how to handle himself on the inside and Molina's spoiling tactics really neutralized him there. And that was against a bigger, stronger, more determined pressure fighter than Ortiz.


I'm not any kind of fan of Molina, but he does little subtle things in there that he doesn't get too much credit for. His footwork, for example; really gives off the impression of being a pressure fighter, but he generally doesn't stay in range after getting off. Makes him pretty difficult to read and time (even for a pretty good counter puncher like Lara.)

No, Kirkland looked slower than he's ever looked because he bulked up. Even then that didn't stop Kirkland from getting in punches. Ortiz is far more athletically gifted, much faster hands, far more explosive. He may have done that to Lara but Lara can't fight on the inside at all, he doesn't even try.
