Comments Thread For: Photos: Hopkins, Shumenov Face Off and Trade Words

Excited to see Hopkins fight and excited to see Paulie vs porter. Hopefully having to deal with seeing the Watson twins and hearing a hundred "thank you, al haymons" won't f up the experience.

Haha no kidding man. It's kinda surreal seeing those guys at every single GBP event. Same smiles, same mannerisms every time. It's like deja vu every time. And the "Oh thank you Al Haymon, I love you" stuff after the fight is also bizarre. It's like seeing someone make the phone call saying they're OK while a gun is pointed to their head. If they screw up the thank you, it's over.

I still can't wrap my head around the Haymon surge in signing fighters. I don't know if it's good or bad, but my gut says it isn't good. That said, I'm looking forward to the fights this weekend.

when a paulie fight is the best fight on the card you know you failed(or succeeded from the promoter's viewpoint)

Don't understand why Shumenov has been holding the other belt for so long.

Hoping for Lucas Konecy beats Quillin. It'll be pretty cool for him cuz i think that makes him first ever world champion for Czech Republic.

EMBRACE the 49-year old Bernard Hopkins and enjoy history being made each fight with an almost 50-year old still producing high quality wins.

Don't fight it, just embrace it.

Hmmm...odd isn't it. Prior to Kovacs (who is not even a top 100 fighter per boxrec) Shumenov had 4 defences in 4 years, including no-one of note, yet 18 months of inactivity was deemed a good reason to elevate him to super champion?

A link has been inferred by some between his families staggering wealth and the WBAs favourable attitude towards Beibut.

He looks like a damn grandfather who got lost and wandered on stage.

Damn right I'm going to enjoy watching him do this at his age, and I'm not even a fan.

Does Quillin actually have any fans ?

Paulie looking in tremendous shape,I see few are backing him.not certain Paulie pulls it off but I hope he does,that said I won't be too dissapointed if Porter wins either,as long as they both keep taking competitive fights unlike Quillin,the faqqot.
