Per Rafael, Adonis Stevenson vs. Tommy Karpency is official for September 11th on Spike.

What a joke... I'm not a Danny Garcia homer but he gets too much flack, when there are others who pick worse.

Stevenson has been a joke to me since he ducked Kovalev, I have zero interest in watching him until he steps up his competition.

Told GGG-LEMIEUX ppv will be  $49.95 according to a source at HBO PPV #boxing

So much for being priced to sell 

 

How much is Canelo-Cotto going to be then? 74.99/84.99?

The undercard isn't bad at all IMO..

Well if Groves vs Jack was the main event on a regular Showtime card with the other two fights as the undercard, I would consider it better than average. I do agree that it isn't great, especially for PPV and certainly doesn't make up for the mismatch in the main event.

 

[doublemesh96]

I'm not sold on jack

Broner vs Khabib Allakhverdiev on Oct 3rd

 

[niketalker23]

A dude coming off a loss thats only fought twice in the last two years, and its for a vacant belt? What a joke..

 

[degenerate423]

Broner and DSG .

 

[illphillip]

Those 2 are not comparable

 

[degenerate423]

Those 2 are not comparable

They're both underachieving right now.

 

[illphillip]

And yet still not comparable.

 

[degenerate423]

And yet still not comparable.

In your opinion*

 

[freakydestroyer]

How about the two just fight eachother and the loser becomes irrelevant?

 

[degenerate423]

How about the two just fight eachother and the loser becomes irrelevant?

But they aren't comparable!

I'd be down to watch that fight with that stipulation though.

 

[illphillip]

So we're just stating the obvious now like it's profound?



I don't like Broner at all but I don't see either being "irrelevant" any time soon. Sad but true. Garcia not even close either.

Garcia/Paulie just put up the highest Boxing ratings on ESPN in close to 20 years.

Obviously Paulie was a part of that. But it takes two. Thurman couldn't do something like that on his own.

Not a fan of some of Garcia's recent fights. Even as a fan, I thought Herrera beat him and Peterson fight was tough and could, probably should, have gone the other way.

But when he fought great fighters, he fought well. At least well enough to make them competitive. Something I haven't seen Broner do in a while.

Herrera is a tough out. Peterson is no joke. But he didn't get washed the way Broner did vs. Maidana and Porter.

And he does still have W's over Khan, Matthysse, under his belt.

Even looking at the way they fight....not at all similar. Danny is at least active.

Hence, not at all comparable.

 

[definition of dopeness]

Staged *** press conference.

Mosley still got some speed doe.

 

[japanair21]

When Broner decided to step up his competition he got his *** handed to him. Multiple times.

Danny had a few really good fights against top level opposition but most feel like (including myself) that he lost a few of his more technical fights, and we want to see him take on better opponents.

Not comparable.

You can draw better parallels to DSG and Adonis.

 

[illphillip]

I was actually going to mention Adonis.

Because if we're talking about questioning some of the matchmaking of Garcia, totally understandable and I'd say the same of Adonis.

I don't see comparing Danny and Adrien at all. They are nothing alike. Personalities, performance, the way they fight etc.

Even their "kryptonite" is different. Danny has a tough time with boxers, Broner with brawlers.

Even as a fan of Danny through his fight with Matthysse though, I've admitted that Herrera and probably Peterson got him and I ain't even wanna mention the Salka fight

 

[japanair21]

The only way I can see them as comparable is saying that they've both been disappointments in recent times.

And personally I find Berto the biggest disappointment. I was really liking the dude like five years ago.

 

[degenerate423]

The only way I can see them as comparable is saying that they've both been disappointments in recent times.

They're both underachieving right now.

That's all I was shaking my head at.  Y'all took my post and made something out of nothing

.

 

[illphillip]

Even then though, the disappointments are not really comparable.

It's hard to see a way in which they really belong in the same breath.

It's a GANG of dudes out there that have been "disappointing" in some way or another

You're thinking way too hard about it.  Seeing Broner's mismatch made me think about Danny's last weekend and how they're both underachieving, not to mention they're both under Al Haymon.  Want me to create separate posts for them next time, would that make you happy?  Should I mention every other underachieving boxer in the history of boxing too?

It's a GANG of dudes out there that have been "disappointing" in some way or another

So what?  I have to mention them ALL now?  Get over it.

 

[illphillip]

If I'm thinking too hard, you ain't thinking enough.

But I'll "get over it" since you asked me to.

And because you seem irked.

 

[degenerate423]

If I'm thinking too hard, you ain't thinking enough.

It's a boxing thread... On a shoe forum
