Hopkins-Shumenov Malignaggi-Porter & Undercards RbR Discussion Thread

Please retire B-Hop I am a fan but I can't stand anymore of you fighting these slow, handpicked bums.

Nearly 50 and unified, amazing achievement but retire. With all due respect most top fighters could extend their career to that age fighting such dog**** opposition.

I take it Kazakhstan had no other light heavyweights but this berk to send that year? Olympian and all he did was plod forward, literally like a zombie.

He was so kind he's even grunt like a pig to let B-Hop know he was sending one from the back row.

I can't even call myself a boxing fan anymore, I have honestly lost my love for the sport. Shumenov couldn't even beat my ****ng nan and the gormless looking mofo was a world champion? Sickens me the state of boxing these days. I see more talented guys than that in every gym.

Nah B-Hop will eat up Stevenson, I thought Shumenov might have been able to replicate that strategy a bit but he totally fell into B-Hops trap.

Stevenson won't stand in front with no movement at all I'm starting to think Shumenov was actually trying to blend into the scenery to fool Hops.

It's a lot different hitting a guy who's moving away from you with the threat of a fast lead Left hand coming at you.

If Hopkins smashes Stevenson that would be a major achievement.

Both were fighting for a vacation to England.....
or Maybe Paulie's "adviser" lit a spark under him

Nah Porter's not coming over here.

Brook and co know they're going to have to go to the USA to fight Porter.

That's why they wanted Pauli to win, which Brook was open about, because they could get Pauli to come to the UK.

Porter's definitely not coming over here.

Hearn and Brook were flashing money though. I mean... it was for Khan... but even a fifth of that would be more than enough to bring Porter over.

I didn't say it wouldn't be a very quality win, but he will fall into the B-Hop trap also following him around. Stevenson is very basic and loads up as opposed to taking what he can get, which is why Dawson won that fight.

[John Barron]

Don't hate Hopkins at all just think it's an absolutely laughable notion to say that beating Shumenov indicates that he's a Top 15 ATG which of course he is not nor close either.

I don't even know what you're attempting to say with the Roy Jones Jr rematch.

it's pointless, dan. you're just following mathed around the ring. he makes false claims all the damn time and then moves on to something else. dude freestyles with his ******ity.

They aren't paying Porter anywhere near 5 Million dollars.

They only offered Khan that kind of money because of how huge the domestic clash would have been and generated over here. That's a huge PPV here.

Porter-Brook won't even be on PPV here.

They've already openly stated that they chances of having Porter-Brook in the UK is slim to none.

I mean, nowhere near that. I don't expect Porter to get like a million or nothing...more like half. I feel like 500k would still be more than what he'd get from GBP/Showtime for a regular fight.

Maybe GBP/Showtime break the bank and put a milli up, but I'm doubting that since their investments seem to be in the LHW division and now the lower division with the imminent signing of Rigo.

I think Porter would've knocked him out either way though

[MrRolltide91]

Who did Hopkins beat who was undefeated who is 20 years younger than him? Remind me I must have missed it unless you're talking about Cloud who was dominated by Campillo in his fight prior but robbed?

Well yeah obviously he's an ATG. Top 15? Yeah because he beat the great Shumenov!

And here we go

I'm telling you my friend this fight is not happening in the UK I'd be absolutely stunned shocked if it was to be. Right before I brought my ticket. But that's dreamland because it's simply not happening.

And yes Brook get's stopped either way.

Porter is going to put a beating on him.
