the fight on NBCSN with Gilbert taking the place of Paulie on a week's notice reaffirms my belief that this shouldn't be allowed. these fights with replacements are always ass beatings.
We've got a potentially good one tonight. Don't miss it. Spike / BoxNation (UK), 9:00 pm EST: Amir Khan vs Chris Algieri, Bryan Vasquez vs Javier Fortuna. Amir Khan returns for what may or may not be an audition to face Floyd Mayweather in September. Khan's been close to that fight before and fallen short, and nobody's really giving Algieri a shot here. The co-feature is a really good fight at 130 pounds, much better than the Malignaggi-O'Connor fight that was originally supposed to be in this spot.
A bunch of people wearing "Khan Promotions" shirts were behind me at the SFO airport yesterday. Cool story
Yeah, I'll try and post a link if I'm around. Brook-Gavin intrigues me, and I'm a big Kell Brook guy. More excited to see what Anthony Joshua does with Kevin Johnson.
I've said it before and ill say it again, Joshua is an absolute beast. Hope he's got a good chin, then he'll be difficult to beat.
I know they let it go to the 2nd because Johnson had never been stopped and wanted to let him try to get back, but come on. Joshua destroyed him, and should have ended after 1. What a performance by AJ. He's absurdly good.
Two cards today, one this afternoon and one tonight. Let's go. NBC, 3:00 pm EST, Robert Guerrero vs Aron Martinez, Jesus Cuellar vs Vic Darchinyan. Take it however you wish, but we're already at Robert Guerrero tune-up fights for PBC on NBC main events. Cuellar-Darchinyan is easily the better of the two fights, and it's not great. Or even included on the banner, though it is the co-feature.
HBO / BoxNation (UK) / Main Event PPV (AUS), 10:30 pm EST, Miguel Cotto vs Daniel Geale. It's a one-fight bill from the Barclays Center, as Roc Nation kicks off their relationship with Miguel Cotto, as the reigning middleweight champion faces former titleholder Daniel Geale of Australia. Geale's only previous HBO fights were both losses, a decision against Darren Barker and a wipeout against Gennady Golovkin. If Cotto wins, it's expected he'll face Canelo Alvarez this fall.
lol Geale should get destroyed tonight because he sucks. Cotto choosing this fight over Canelo is so stupid- at least he still has that Mayweather money.
Roy Jones is like Chris Webber. He makes a good point and then keeps talking for a paragraph too long.
Please, HBO, get rid of fucking Geale. This is no rap, but if you come at RJJ Like that you are bound to go down
