There's something a bit dull about the Don King PPV card

Post by Kilburn »

It's supposed to be another blockbuster but really I won't hanging myself if we don't get coverage over here.

Byrd v Golota - Interesting I suppose although both are looking shot.

Ruiz v Oquendo - Couldn't pay me to watch it. Horrible fight.

Braithwaite v Azille - Champ has already K this guy TFO.

Sellars v Davis - Sellars is exciting sure but not a world beater, and Davis already lost to O'Neill Bell who aint that hot in the first place.

Rivera v Mayorga - Nobody cares about Rivera and it's a paper world crown anyway.


Five world title fights? You can keep 'em.

Yes it's a load of bollocks for a supposed PPV show.
Mayorga v Rivera is defintely the pick of the night - I saw Rivera win in Germany and he's a very decent fighter. Mayorga wont have to go looking for him either.

Well a certain Boxing writer for the BBC said a few weeks ago this could be a potential classic. :o

However he is now saying that the Heavyweight division is turnrnig into a bad dream.

This card does seem to be quantity over quality.

i'll try but take oquendo-ruiz off and i might be able watch it all. What a horrible match. Ruiz and Rahman literally put me to sleep last time. I missed Mayorga-Spinks and Hop-Joppy. It's going to be even worse with Oquendo.

Most fighters throw punches off the jab. These 2 throw punches off the hold.

King always gives value for money that's for certain, the fights are not always great quality but there is plenty to watch. You never know maybe some of the fights could be hidden classics? Ok maybe not :roll:
