Glad both my guys got some type of revenge from "draws" in their last fights with the same opponents. Flowers just seems to be a tough out this season.

Surprised Mullings performed as well as he did against Nino, the cut on Nino's eye had me worried there for a minute, but thankfully Nino took care of business and got Mullings outta there.

Hopkins and Nino won their fights today.....cmon make that match.

BoxBuzz wrote:Hopkins and Nino won their fights today.....cmon make that match.

Nino is going to start a one upping Hopkins tour over the next few weeks, and at the end of those few weeks he's going to make a definitive statement in regards to Hopkins

If Nino takes the fight with Hopkins, it will a one up fight.

Hopkins will be the one that's up. And it's Bueno Sera for Benvenuti.
