    I'm looking forward to seeing the Andre The Giant documentary.

      I just read the "feared" Browne's record... he took NINE rounds to KO Julius Long? Long was once the go-to guy to pad a man's record... even Audley Harrison laid him out in two.


      What about that unbiased ref though, eh? "He's got a cut"... WTF?
      Browne is the boxing equivalent of a pro wrestling jobber from back in the day. His sole purpose was to get squashed so that the opponent looks invincible.

      Lucas Browne = Barry Horrowitz or Iron Mike Sharpe.

        I used to take these kind of posts seriously but now they just seem like anti-HBO whining.

        There hasn't been a better card than Superfly II on any network so far this year.

          Hadn't really seen much of him before, other than hearing about how he was indestructible, etc.

          He looked like a turd.

              To be honest the whole point of getting this fight, is for HBO to strengthen their relationship with Hearn....so they can get Anthony Joshua as his contract is up with Showtime after Parker.So it may be a clever ploy.HBO just need to offer close to what Showtime offer and give dates to Matchroom Boxing USA.Then they will suddenly look good again, Canelo,Joshua and GGG.3 of the top boxers on their channel.

                Better for HBO not to swat them Flies. It's the only card left on their hand. They can't rely on drug cheat Caneloterol anymore.

                    Super fly is their saving grace. Everything else has been mediocre. At least we get to see kovalev and bivol fight bums instead of each other doe right
