Comments Thread For: Photos: Kovalev, Alvarez, Bivol, Chilemba Hit Atlantic City

[Superbee]

Went to Atlantic city last year and was unimpressed with just about everything. The food women casinos and boardwalk were all garbage. I guess I was expecting a mini Las Vegas and was let down. Only thing I enjoyed was the nightclub we went to. It was called the pool after dark or something like that.

Place seems like it has potential though they need to start doing more fights there maybe itll get some money flowing through there and cause a domino effect of nice things to come along there

You were just 20 years late to the party bro...

One time I was in Atlantic City, a fat hooker who looked like Biggie Smalls offered my friend and I a blow job.

Isn't it exactly their purpose ?

Kovalev vs Bivol or Beterbiev is gonna be so badass I hope he doesnt get old before that

Kovalev looks younger now than he did before the Ward fights. Getting off the vodka maybe?

I don't think Bivol is ready for the power Krusher packing and he takes too many punches. Now if he can take him into deep rounds and take advantage of Krusher lack of stamina I could see a hard earned decision.

Bivol looks like a hitman

Clemenza makes his return to the city by the Atlantic this weekend to see his first prize fight there since the late Great Arturo “ Thunder Gatti knocked out the Great Jesse James Leija. It looks like some good people quality under card fighters as well. Kovalev might be to strong for Alvarez in my humble opinion, he’s not Andre Ward now. Bivol on the other hand brings speed and youth. But he looked like he can swell up, very High Cheek bones , as the late Emmanuel Stewart used to say about Gatti. Let’s hope AC Boxing is Back. I’ve seen great bouts there, Mercer vs Holyfield
Bobby Czyz vs Andrew Maynard, both Gatti’s wars with Ivan Robinson, Iran Barkley vs Roberto Duran, to name just a few, I can go on and on, Gatti vs Mickey ward 2&3. And that’s that

... probably so...

Glad to see Chilemba looks in shape. Should be a decent card.

Hey everyone- buddy and I are heading up to Atlantic City this weekend. I'm pumped because although I've supported local amateur boxing events, I've yet to go to a major televised pro event. Weve got a hotel but I have a few questions regarding tickets.

1) Has anyone been to an event at the Hard Rock (Old Taj Mahal)? Any areas to avoid? Looks like we can get tickets in 110 for $200, front of 201 and 214 for $150, 212 or front of 207 for $100, or back of 207 or 300 level for $50. What should we go with?

2) Should we purchase tickets in advance or wait to buy them at the door/from a scalper? We'd like to get there early and watch most of the undercard, so not sure if that would impact us buying tickets at the event.

If I didn't have any plans for holidays, I would have tried to be there. It's a solid card for August.
