I keep getting the feeling that we gon see something dramatic in that Dawson/Stevenson fight. One of them nikkas gon get put to sleep or catch a bum fights type beat down.

Don't seem like anybody interested in seeing if Gamboa can make it through a fight without getting dropped. :pachaha:

This might be the rare moment where I actually watch the HBO card live and catch the Showtime card on the dvr.

At least for me, I just wanna see him fighting names on a consistent basis. Salido and De Leon were good fights for him and he dominated for the most part, but then obviously the whole Top Rank situation didn't help.

I'd love to see:

Gamboa vs Russel Jr
Gamboa vs Winner of Garcia vs Juan Ma
Gamboa vs Donaire

:whew:

in a way you can say it did. losing a fight of that magnitude just cant happen without some casualties and collateral damage. some chins have to be checked...as well as pockets. HBO made some mistakes and they are trying to right the ship before its too late. They are talking about closing their whole sports division. Will they do that? I dont know....but to the big wigs at the top....it may not be worth the time for them. Time Warner's M/O is to make the most while spending the least.

Tomoki Kameda Faces Paulus Ambunda For WBO Title - Boxing News
By Miguel Rivera

Undefeated bantamweight Tomoki Kameda (27-0, 18KOs) has been asking for a title shot for the last twelve months and now he has it. A deal has been reached for Kameda to challenge the WBO champion Paulus Ambunda (20-0, 10KOs) on August 1st at the Cebu City Waterfront Hotel & Casino in Cebu City, Philippines. Kameda Promotions are staging the event, which is going to be televised in Japana and in the Philippines.

21-year-old Tomoki, the youngest of the three fighting Kameda brothers, is the only sibling who has yet to capture a major title. Older brother Koki is the WBA "regular" bantamweight champion and Daiki has held the WBA flyweight crown.

Breh look at his face he was getting beat with bricks :bryan:
I'm interested in Dawson vs Stevenson only because chad is my boy...CT represent...Stevenson though has a high puncher's chance of knocking him out...Elm city will be :sadcam: :sadbron: :to: if that happens

I've watched a few Stevenson fights and his left has stoppage power but he's very crude

He's rushes in to attack but he gets tied up easily and his inside game is not very good

That's where I think Chad will hurt him and stop him unless Chad has another mental lapse :aicmon: and gets caught

Didn't think Lopez was that much bigger then Maidana

Maidana is a small dude, which is why I'm against him ever fighting over 140 unless he just can't possibly make weight....but he's not physically built for 147 IMO

Klitschko and Povetkin have ironed out their testing differences, October 5th is the date :blessed:
