    dude, you got the point. If going at me rather than asking why HBO approved such a bad fight is how you will play this, so be it.

    There is no need for this fight or kov/pascal 2.

      He's probably mentally checked out of Boxing.

      He knows he pissed away some of his best years.

        Come on el-blanco. you are stretching what I said and then leaving out that I corrected myself in the heat of debate.

          How about we just agree this was a BS fight and we are all glad Nevada cancelled it.
          Fair enough.

          I agree with you that HBO was disgraceful for allowing it.

          And PBC has been putting on some better matchups lately.

            Murdock looks like a big guy but the NSAC must think he's a ***** if they feel the need to protect him in that way.

                    That's embarrassing. Good job by the Nevada commission.

                      Never understood why these people think showcase fights are entertaining to watch.
