Should be a nice weekend of boxing. Some interesting fights going down.

I wish Shumenov would pull it off but IMO he is just too mechanical / robotic for the crafty / slippery Hopkins. We will see though, age can catch up HARD at any given moment at this point.

I actually like all the guys but this card does not inspire me that much. Hopefully it will turn out okay. Seems like a guarantee for no KO's except maybe the Quillin fight.
