in terms of its programming super 6 was outstanding...fight camp 360: inside the super 6 are some of the best behind the scene episodes that ive had the pleasure to watch regarding boxing...i also think it was good because it spotlighted a talent laden division that needed attention and gave them much deserved exposure. my issues with the super 6 was that half the fighters dropping out diluted the quality of the fights and the tournament some. i would love to see it come back for another division with a tweak here and there


That fight camp stuff they did was VERY good. I even caught some of the women at my old job discussing that stuff, I walked by and overheard them like :dwillhuh: I think it was the "reality show" aspect of it that attracted them.

pretty much abe showed himself to prolly be the most swagged out german boxer ever..although i was :patrice: about him paying random nikkas in the street to rap for him...froch was gold esp with this shyttalking about calzaghe and so was andre dirrell..."ima eat the ham...ima eat the abraham" :bryan:...although without context to what was going on in that scene it would have been a very suspect statement haha..showed all of them as regular ass cats with personalities..matter of fact I may rewatch these shyts during my vacation at the last week of the month

I actually expected fighters to drop out. I think Showtime should have the set the proper expectations to fans that this could happen & made a theme around the tournament being "survival of the fittest."

The fact that Ward got through a tournament where half the fighters couldn't hang makes him winning the tournament even more impressive imo. Here you have a guy that took it one fight at a time & grinded it out.

Another thing is that the fights that happened where others dropped out where actually entertaining.

Ward-Green
Johnson-Green
Ward-Bika (this was actually a non tournament fight & shouldn't be here, but was a very entertaining rugged fight)

Bute being really hot at the time caused the tournament to get a lot of hate.

green was a big reason of the dilution IMO..dude got his ass whooped by johnson and ward..he had no business being in there as a substitute.if there was one career that got effectively killed (outside of JT) because of super six it was his

Not so fast my friend.....:whoa:HBO also has Crawford vs Beltran and Hopkins vs Kovalev coming up too and that August 9th and September 6th Showtime cards are both garbage.


Im anticipating 9/6 because it's the Return of #BandCamp:blessed::ohlawd::wow::lawd::whew:






































But they're both still weak main events:heh:

Herrera was a nobody :comeon:

Nah nikka Salka is a nobody.


nikkas in this thread thought Herrera was from Mexico N only fought in Mexico

nikkas in this thread thought Herrera was fighting Swift after losing his last fight

nikkas all over the internet was bytching that it was a cherry pick

I wouldn't call Herrera as known back then breh
