Comments Thread For: HBO putting added focus on 160 to 175 weight classes

[DoktorSleepless]

Other than Kovalev, there's nothing worth focusing on in 175. Are they just going to feed him mismatch after mismatch.

Aka arum has no welterweights

PACQUIAO,BRADLEY,RIOS,JMM,ALVARADO,ABREGU,VARGAS are thinking you are.....????????!!!

showtime has quillin, advantage showtime

He's lucky he's on showtime. Because if he wasn't 3g would prolly decapitate him. And that's real talk.

Froch Groves II is probably the most exciting fight announced for the whole year. Can't wait for that one.

True, but I don't see your point. Arum doesn't have many assets at 160-175 either. HBO is not just Top Rank, so what are you getting at?

HBO should be showcasing Cruiserweight fights too

[MDPopescu]

Neither HBO or Showtime has a hold on 68....HBO with Ward and the other guys being foreign fighters.

175, Showtime got the bulk of the big names with HBO having Kovalev.... weak division below those 3 guys...Mekensov and Oleskander too young in their careers.

160, HBO with the sleight advantage. Showtime hasn't put on many good MW fights, but there are fights available for them to make.

HBO didn't have 160... And just recently lost the grip on 175... (On two of those cited above: Pascal will play the Canadian game; while Bute is in Limbo...)

Artur Beterbiev might be better even than Kovalev.

Egor Mekhontsev is another very good up-and-comer, and Oleksandr Gvozdyk looked very good in his pro debut yesterday.

Please showcase the Flyweight division too, HBO. Lots of great fights to be made, and one bona fide P4P star in Roman Gonzalez.
