Nah, he's spot-on. It's not great card on paper. Let's hope Shumenov and Konecny turn up and make it competitive.

paulie malignaggi? porter is a decent fighter, but he's a paper champion. there are several world titles per division. it's the best fight on the card, and it's not great.

quillin against a nobody?

50 year old hopkins fighting beibut shumenov?



who said anything about hbo? you aren't a network fanboy, are you? those guys are sad.

I think all 3 of the fights will be pretty competitive, now that doesn't mean they will be good but at least fairly interesting. Hopefully one turns out better than expected.

on UFC just now..

The guy winnin the fight (dominating practically) gets hit with a jab and gets knocked down and the other guy swarms and puts him in a rear-naked choke and dude gets submitted.

Immediately followed by Dana White:

"THIS IS WHY MMA IS SO EXCITING" "BARBOZA IS HIT WITH A JAB OUT OF NO WHERE!"

exactly. the great part about the card is that there are three fights. a lot can happen in 36 rounds. i just hope somebody gets croaked with something and a fight breaks out.


these are not overly compelling fights.
