Comments Thread For: Provodnikov-Matthysse Set Down in Verona, New York

[Kilrain]

Fat Dan Rafael was trying to claim this was a great site for a boxing match, who is he kidding?

Yea, Took a 3 hour train or so from Penn and took a 15 minute taxi.

Casino out in a rural-ish part of NY.

God... really fucked them on the venue.... even for people who live close by, it's a damn hassle.

Did you go to the Rome station? Easy to get a taxi from there? Was thinking of making a trip but didn't want to have to rent a car.

Was really hoping this was going to go down at StubHub. Haven't been to a live fight in a minute, and definitely was going to catch this if it was.

Oh well. Just cool to see them go at it period.

will regret it if I don't make it out for this. 75 ringside??? I'm there!

This fight will be a slug fest! Too bad it will be in NY. Guess will have to watch it on TV. Not sure if Lucas can withstand Ruslan's pressure and power. They will go toe to toe first and whoever gets hurt first will box wisely and I see Lucas doing it coz Ruslan can only fight forward. WAR!!

Yes, that's where I got off. I forgot what Taxi I used, but call beforehand. Kind of in the middle of nowhere too (the train station).

I forgot how much it cost too.

Ha, Turning Stone is an hour from me. Really Verona should just rename itself Turning Stone, even upstate and central NY'ers know Verona as Turning Stone, ie the only reason to ever go to Verona.

Does Delahoya have any legal recourse for Haymon fu cking him over on the venue? Like loss of revenue or some kind of faith and fair dealing?

That'd be more of the venue than ODLH, Haymon reserved it before him

[Scipio2009]

why is this not at stubhub? ppl were saying haymon blocked it but Gonzalez vs. Russell is in texas now...

StubHub is owned by AEG, former partners in Golden Promotions who walked away from the company in lieu of how Oscar did Schaefer dirty. You reap what you sow.
