It's going to be a pretty miserable start to 2016 for HBO... Here's what's on the schedule
Jan.30 - Kovalev vs. Pascal 2. Kovalev pretty much destroyed him in the first fight, I don't expect this fight to be any different especially after the way Pascal looked against Gonzalez.
Feb. 27 - Crawford vs. Lundy, with a co-feature of Verdejo vs. Silva. Lundy loses every time he steps up. This guy lost to Dulorme ffs. Verdejo vs. Silva is another tune up fight. When will he step up? Doesn't look it'll be this year but he's getting a co-feature spot on HBO.
March. 5 - Roman Gonzalez/ Gio Segura. Hasn't been made official yet (lets hope it's not official). Segura has taken several bad beatings in recent years to point where boxing might put him at serious risk. It doesn't help that he got beaten up by 3 guys that Gonzalez already beat.
March - Sadam Ali vs. Jessie Vargas - Decent fight, more of a co-feature. But will it be for a title? No one knows if WBO will strip Bradley.
April 9 - Pac vs. Bradley 3 - The fight no one wants to see. To add insult to injury it's on PPV. (I hope it bombs).
April 23. GGG vs. Johnson - Johnson will get beaten up and TKOed. Bad mismatch. Although if they somehow make Saunders vs. GGG, that will be a bit better.
May. 7th- Canelo vs. Rosado/Monroe. Who wants to watch either opponent?
Apart from a decent scrap between Ali and Vargas, these are showcase fights and mismatches.
