    That would be an explosive card.

    That's a decent card. No interest in seeing zou shimming 2 be honest. Why not just put ruslan on there against somebody so he can loose and not take a spot away from somebody on a regular hbo card.

      Amnat schools Zou over 12.

      Juan Francisco Estrada UD or possible Stoppage. Brian is on the decline.

      Unless Rodriguez Jr stops Nietes, I got Ahas taking it

      Great card and I'm excited for Nonito to come back. This would be Estrada's 3rd time in Macau and on HBO2 However.. I'm not sure about Viloria being his opponent. I read Roman Gonzalez wants Viloria in Nicaragua. It's between Viloria and 2 other Mexicans for Roman, however it will be a free admission and open to the general public. IDK if Viloria would be down with fighting Roman in Nicaragua at such an event

        Amnat wins but not without trouble, I'll take Viloria in a rematch (assuming he doesn't fight ****** and gas like last time [fair play to JFE though]), and Nietes to stop Rodriguez Jr.

        I'm actually interested on what Roach's gameplan would be against Amnat. If they go and make Amnat come forward, then its a VERY winnable fight for Zou IMHO.

          How do you suppose they would make Amnat come forward? Dude is the Bernard Hopkins of the Flyweights. Zou is an offensive minded, weak fisted fighter, no way do I see him troubling Amnat in any round. Plus, it's not in Amnat's nature to fight coming forward, no way in hell does Roach make a crafty fighter switch up his entire fighting style to better suit his overhyped olympian.

          Viloria has a shot but I don't know, he hasn't fought any decent names since 2012. In fact he was having trouble with a journeyman earlier this year. Personally I see Viloria rolling down hill fast and his stamina has always and will always be an issue, especially now.

          Rodriguez has a great chin but I can see Nietes hurting him a few times with his accurate/lightning fast punches, However I can't envision a stoppage unless Nietes is the one being hammered.

            it'll never fly. They need at least one name on the card that is somewhat recognizable by an average boxing fan. (average being he follows it, but not that closely)

                Yeah they don't pay much for these cards, it's probably more of a favor to Arum to get shimming American TV time.

                  What is HBO2? I've never seen a live card on anything but HBO1. Someone please explain.

                  I have seen rerun boxing on the other HBO channels.
