Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[Jello Biafra]

We can talk Stevenson/ Hopkins/ Kovalev to death. Coli boxing heads, looking forward to Saturday- HBO has boxing listed on HBO at 4pm, and HBO Latino boxing at midnight. I assume that we will get the Macau card on HBO at 4pm, but does anyone know if we get the Froch/Groves fight then too, or just on the midnight HBO2 card only? That would suck to have to wait until midnight to watch that fight taped.

Froch/Groves and Donaire/Vetyeka begins @ 4pm...Donaire fights first and then its the Froch/Groves rematch as the main event.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Stevenson-Fonfara averaged 672,000 viewers
total Showtime telecast was 476,000


For comparison - Stevenson-Bellew on HBO averaged 1.3 million.
Stevenson's audience shrinks - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN

HBO's higher sub rate and being Memorial Day weekend are the reasons for the drop.
There is no difference in opponent visibility from Bellew to Fonfara to explain why viewership would plunge from one fight to the next.

so freddie roach wants a pacquiao danny garcia fight. what yall think about this?.....I mean yea it'd be good for pac to get in with a good boxer with nice power, but I think pac would most likely dominate and probably get the stoppage late. don't even think danny is tim bradley level.

idk about stoppage but I agree with Manny dominating him.

So far angel garcia is 1-0 against roach fighters..

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Manny will kill Danny at 140.

Breh I'm not doubting B Hop just saying this will be his hardest fight in years. BHOPs best openings aret going to come off countering Stevenson's 1-2 step to the left and hook. Ironically, the easiest way for B hop to win this fight is evading punches stepping to the left and hook. He'll also have an opportunity with the lead left hook. He will confuse Adonis with his non-movement shoulder movement but he needs to watch for the straight left to stomac, liver/kidney. It's going to be a grreat fight (if made)

Funny you mention this friend, this is part of the reason I'm so dismissive of in regards to a Ward fight. As far as the fight goes I think you are the one talking with the most logic out of all the Stevenson fans.

you didnt care about froch-groves 2 breh? you must have not seen the first fight lol..ive been anticipating it

I have a hard time caring about Euro fighters

80k in the national stadium and a guaranteed FOTY contender

Potential FOTY. Lets hope there's no shady reffing or judging. I have a strong feeling Groves is gonna continue beating the shyt out of Froch. Only problem I could see is that Groves(based off that bootleg HBO faceoff) seems to have no respect for Froch at all, and will ironically be the one fighting emotionally.

Froch/Groves and Donaire/Vetyeka begins @ 4pm...Donaire fights first and then its the Froch/Groves rematch as the main event.

Donaire Went from top 10 to fighting 10 rounders
Also seems like HBO has relocated Donaire to the bushes

Garcia couldn't beat Bradley (still 5 p4p) I think manny would beat the crap out of him probably win 8-4. Thing is pacs chin is getting questionable. He got rocked by Bradley 2-3 times....if those punches came from garcia I think they'd have put manny down not KO'd but I could see Garcia getting 2 kd's or something of that nature.

at Rigo giving my breh Donaire the bushes treatment

I hate boxing sometimes, lose to one of the most pure talented fighters the game has seen in a while and get tossed in the bushes

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

you guys do know Donaire is fighting for the WBA FW title. The guy hes facing ended Chris John's 48 win streak
