HBO went from the top boxing network to Bum Fights

HBO didn't fall, american boxing did.

American fighters can shine and look spectacular against tomato cans, too.

HBO is choosing not to support that for some reason.

Nah. It’s all on Showtime now. And ESPN.

They aren't supporting much of anything.

I guess that's why Deontay is fighting on Showtime.

Exactly.

Although Luis Ortiz was certainly no tomato can.

The fact that it was two scrub foreign fighters is also a new twist.

I don't want to see squash mismatches but if they are going to go that route at least do it to boost American fighters and the American boxing scene, no?

golovkin v. dom wade and/or kell brook was awesome....grreat youear

They are reduced to putting on showcase bouts for promoters like Eddie Hearn and Kathy Duva now. Peter Nelson really dropped the ball.

Lucas Browne was awful and had no business being on those once elite airwaves. Other than to make Dillian Shyte appear like a world beater.

So you would have preferred if HBO never picked up the fight in the first place? Why?

Others may have been interested. If you didn't like it you did have the option of not watching it. More boxing on TV is a good thing.

I was glad I had the chance to watch it. It was a decent fight on paper. Great KO to end things.

[Sid-Knee]

Yea, tonight’s fight ****** pretty bad. Looked like 2 kangaroos fighting in slow motion. Really sad display of sports, or should I say just schitty overall. I also don’t like just Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman, they needed Roy to bring some knowledge and light to the fight

I guess you found it really hard to watch Deontay's whole career then.

Placed their bets on the euro fighters that they could sign and air for cheap.
