Cause HBO could just show a lot of better fights or fighters.
BAD used to be good, especially when they were focusing more on up and coming fighters.
Now its two guys, on the brink of retirement, in a fairly inconsequential fight. There should at least be an undercard. I don't know, I may watch it, it might be a good fight, who knows, but its definitely not very good matchmaking.
My point is that this fight could be off tv altogether, that'd be worse right? I'm with you on the fact that the card kinda sucks but at least there's something to watch this Saturday. Plus you never know it could be a great fight, sometimes all hell breaks loose out of nowhere.
I see what you're saying Dan but if it was not on TV,would anyone really care? I agree with Ouma,I too think that we need to make more tv time for the younger stars,the older guys can have their time too but we need to make new stars for the future and we do that by giving them exposure. Imagine how awesome it would have been if fights like Miranda-Pavlik,Marquez-Vazquez etc had been given some of the hype Oscar Floyd had been given.
I'd much much much rather see Guzman-Soto than Vargas Mayorga: 2 guys who have been brutally knocked one too many times,and have looked like shadows of their former selves.Mayorga cannot even handle 154 imo let alone the ridiculous catch weight of 162 and Vargas should have retired a while ago.
Guzman-Soto are 2 guys in/reaching their primes,great syles match up and the winner get a shot at the bigtime.These are the type of fights that need hyping.
Yeah no question that Guzman v Soto is miles better than both of these match ups. I think Guzman really can be p4p top 3 material.
Remember the good old days, we miss you Marco!
