    Terrible start to the year

    Nobody wants to fight. Full of mismatches.

    The UFC tards will be back in full force no doubt claiming the sport is dying

    Its been horrendous though hasn't it? And its not looking like its getting any better.

    Thurman vs Diaz
    Wlad vs Leapai
    Floyd vs Madonna
    Lucas vs some little bum - One of the ever growing number of bums named Molina.
    Bradley vs Manny was poor the first time, it'll be no better this time round.
    Khan vs Collazo = Intriguing yet an average fight at best
    Lara vs Ishe Smith (almost fell asleep just typing that)
    GGG is out for most of the year seemingly.
    Kovalev fight is a real mismatch on paper
    Stevenson is fighting some clown people claim is a puncher, he really isn't.
    Gonzo isn't fighting
    Mares has lost his balls
    Kell Brook has been promising his next fight will be for a world title since the year dot
    Mikey is contempt on fighting C level tough guys with no real ability
    TBA has had enough of seeing Gary Russells face

    Chisora vs Fury will be worth it just for the build up
    Froch vs Groves 2 is about the only fight I can think of that is 5*

      yeah it's been a real letdown so far compared to last year. At least the mismatches might bring some spectacular KO:s.

        dan_cov I rsponded to your other post in the other thread so I wont repeat.

        I just think its ok for younger fighters to have set up fights. I can understand frustration but you can't risk a young fighters development.

          They better name this KO Kings III.
          Then put the KO bonus back....although it won't be fair since all three men get tasty treats to set it up

                I fully understand that & I'd rather he stayed busy. Just a bit frustrated there is so many stay busy fights going on and no fights except Froch vs Groves I am really excited for.

                I just wish they'd hurry up and make Kovalev vs Stevenson or something I can go nuts over

                  Its great two top p4p fighters are rematching, a lot is at stake but I truly believe it will be a very boring fight. Bradley will box, stink the place out. Close decision either way, maybe a robbery. I lean on Bradley 7-5 with people claiming another robbery.

                  Sergio vs Cotto does nothing for me, if Sergio is at even 60% he destroys him. Horrible mismatch.
