Showtime got the best fighters from too to bottom

[wrecksracer]

As much as I like more boxing, there are clear favorites in each of these fights. The only way any of these b-sides win is by massive upset. The fights just aren't that compelling, especially the Garcia/Rios. Yeah, I'll probably watch these sparring sessions, but that's all they are.

I think they are looking for a new date. Mikey Garcia took the original one, and the 2 heavyweight fights would be ahead of them too.

I was hoping they would pick up some of the world boxing super series fights.

I hear that. Especially when you got big time compelling 50/50 matches like matthysse vs kiram, Kovalev vs mikhailkin, and cuadras vs arroyo coming up on HBO. Then showtime has the nerve to tease us with meaningless fights like wilder vs Ortiz. I'm with you on this one. Who really cares about about an undefeated knock out artist defending his title against another undefeated slick boxer labeled the boogeyman of the division because nobody wants to fight him??? Horrible fights indeed. Lol

Broner-Figueroa on Showtime as well.

It’s all good. My man adonis, like most pbc fighters only fight once a year. That fight will probably get locked in April or May

Don't Showtime only have an option on Joshua's next fight?

No. They only had an option on his last fight, but by picking up that option, they gained the rights to the fight after that as well. One of the reasons why Hearn wants to wait on the Wilder fight is because he knows HBO will make a massive offer to try to block it and if he does the fight next, he loses that leverage.

It's a massive upset if King Kong beats Wilder? It's a massive upset if Badou Jack beats Stevenson? It's a massive upset if Gavril beats Benavidez?

It's just sparring when Garcia jumps another weight class to fight an undefeated world champion?

It's just sparring when Broner faces an undefeated former world champion?
