This has been a really rough couple of weeks with no boxing on. Taylor/Pavlik cant get here soon enough!
You would think that Showtime/HBO would put out some sort of a card, or at least FOY replays or something. This has been pretty dreadful.

are you guys getting the woods v gonzalez fight next week captain?

 

[Captainobvious]

I dont see it on the schedule to be televised.

 

[Captainobvious]

What sucks is that both Showtime and HBO are airing good fights the same night. They should have done them on alternating weekends, and they both would have gotten more viewers.
Showtime will be airing the Dawson/Mendoza fight while Hbo airs the Pavlik/Taylor bout. Its obvious which one I'll be watching, so I'll be DVR'ing the Showtime card.

to bad captain, that should be a cracker. i know there first fight was.

 

[TysonJones]

it'll all be over soon, ponce deleon fights on telefura friday night as well.

 

[Rayman]

I agree, really hard to stay engaged in a sport with such sparse exposure. All you can do is talk about past fights and that gets old. Taylor and Pavlik better be good or that'll just be another nail in the coffin.

From a "what's good for the sport" standpoint. It would be far better for Pavlik to KO Taylor than for Taylor to get a decision. There really needs somebody for the casual fan to get excited about. These guys in other parts of the world ain't gonna cut it. It's way to hard to follow them. As far as that goes, pretty easy to forget about American fighters too since they fight so infrequently.

HBO does that on purpose. They are more about trumping Showtime than expanding boxing or aiding the fans. And what also sucks is that you know darn well that Lampley will call out the results from the Showtime card thus ruining it all. I am going to try to have my remote ready to mute him when I think it is coming.

AHHHH, I hate it when he does that.

good poins you make there. Although i wouldnt want it to be too watered down either.

 

[Rayman]

Got a long way to go before that happens. There is nothing more exciting in sports though than the days hours and minuets leading up to a big fight, I'd just like to see more of them darn it.

 

[TysonJones]

taylor is going to ko pavlik so that'll be good for fans too. but just think once the 29th gets here, we get boxing 3 weeks in a row, then it skips i think a week and then we get more boxing.

id love to see taylor win this fight looking impressive doing so, he's a great guy and could be a great posterboy for the sport.

i just dont think he can beat pavlik though after his rescent showings.

You just don't quit. Have you worked on your Moderator resignation speech for being so wrong..LOL

 

[TysonJones]

sure why not. no i dont quit, i can easily predict and see how a fight is going to go. i know what stylse are wrong for each guys. Taylor's style is pavliks worse nightmare. however, pavliks style is what taylor eats up. its simple.

 

[TysonJones]

i dont know if we have already bet on this fight rayman, but if we have, forget it!!

if pavlik wins, and proves me wrong. I will GIVE you 50 k aight.

 

[Rayman]

OK fine. I'm glad I don't have it that figured out cuz it wouldn't be something to look forward to. However, I feel the same way about Mayweather and Hatton. That's the easy one in my book. Just can't get excited about it. Kind of like Holmes and Randell Tex Cobb. That was the fight that literally sent Howard Cossell into retirement he was so disgusted by it. Well I'm sure it won't be that bad.

ouma although smaller than pavlik is in the same mould as him, that lil guy was pushing taylor back all night, i think pavlik is all wrong for taylor because if ouma can push him back when he's not as strong and lacks power i see pavlik doing a lot of damage to JT.

 

[SugarShane]

Like knocking him the hell out!

 

[Captainobvious]

Yes, that would be considered "damage"
