Isn't Joe Jr with haymon?

Props to Hopkins 100 years old and still fighting tougher opposition than the lineal champ Stevenson

Damn it, Salido!!!... I don't know how I feel about the BHop fight though. I would have thought that something with more appeal would have been generated. Ehhh, it is what it is. Hopefully, they can put on a good show.

What a pity that Salido vs. Miura is off however Hopkins vs. Smith Jr is a good fight.

[soul_survivor]

Smith can punch and is a rugged fighter, still Hopkins should beat him...unless he really has been out of the ring too long and his 52 years have caught up to him. Either way, remarkable match up and a solid one too.

I hope this is at the Barclay's, or second Atlantic City. So is Bhop giving some respects to Haymon for PBC? Would rather fancy Alvarez vs Smith Jr., Beterbiev vs Smith Jr., or Smith Jr. Vs Stevenson.

Speaking of which, sht, I want to see Bellew vs Shumenov.

with Salido out hurt, wouldn't it make more sense to do this fight in NYC or somewhere in the northeast-philly, ac, brooklyn-where both guys have a following, instead of the Forum in LA?

Interesting main event. Hopkins going out like a legend fighting a Top 10 guys in the division.

Sucks that Salido is out. Personally I would see if Vargas has recovered from his cuts and see if the rematch between he and Miura can be made. If not move Salido vs Miura to next year. Possibly as the Co Main Event to Canelos return fight in January or February.

Golden Boy needs to have a strong undercard since both guys are from the east coast.

How about Jo Jo Diaz vs Ronnie Rios, and Antonio Orozco vs Frankie Gomez?

Love that Bernard is fighting a white guy to give him that motivation to get back in the ring. He's hoping to get rid of the bad feelings he has from losing to Calzaghe and Kovalev.

You go for that white guy Bernard. Go get him. Hahaha

Smith may be unpolished and inexperienced compared to BHOP, but the kid can ****. This is a dangerous fight for the old man.
