Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
Why do they have to do this? Boxing having to compete against its self is bad for boxing.

Is the date set? I pick Peter to win and Taylor to win.
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
Yes, it's stupid.
Showtime should move Peter-Maskaev back a week, and air it on the first Saturday of October, on their normal schedule.
If both fights air on 9/29, I'll be watching Taylor-Pavlik.
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
Has the JT-Pavlik fight been 'officially' signed?
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
I hate that. I know it would mean taking a hit in gate money but why can't these be on the same card? That would be awesome.
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
I'll be watching Tayor/ Pavlik if the fights are on at the same time, this is the sort of thing that affects boxings standings in the main stream. They should have made the fights a week apart.
I think it'll be KO's for both Peter & Pavlik
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
I would definitely watch the Taylor-Pavlik fight befor watching the Maskaev-Peters but like CutMeMick said is this official??

I hear two of the judges scorecards for the Taylor Pavlik fight have already been written up.
If it goes to decision there scores are 116-112, 115-113 for Taylor
The third judge is going to score honestly to avoid cries of match fix. His likely score will read 120 - 109 Pavlik

In all honesty, I'm suprised Taylor didn't accept Vic Darchinyen's offer to fight him!
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
This is what DVR is made for, watch Taylor v Pavlik live, then watch the Maskaev fight right after. I actually don't mind this at all, makes for a great night of boxing, IMO
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
Its not like every weekend is stock full of great fights. They should have layered these title fights.
Peter gets his shot at Maskaev and about time too. It could be brutal.

You ain't kidding on that one!!!! :o :o....If Peter comes in that fight full of pent up aggression due to being ducked it could be brutal for Maskaev :'(
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
If these fights are competing the Taylor fight will win out. Maskaev vs. Peter is not that intriguing. I would love to see Peter fight Tua. But Tua seems to only fight stiffs and then lose his big fights. The only time he wins against a top fighter is when that top fighter has a weak chin like Moorer.

If he said it I would stand by it. His word is pretty much gold around here.
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
That night will be for Pavlik and Peter. Pavlik fight should get more viewers. I wondere if it will be on hbo or hbo ppv. I don't know. I see Pavlik putting Taylors lights out by the 10th.
Re: Sept 29- Maskaev v Peter on Showtime---Pavlic v Taylor on HBO
Pavlic vs Taylor will be on regular HBO.
My main concern is that while watching Taylor Pavlic, that the HBO crew does not make a news annoucment like "we are just getting word that Sam Peter is the new WBC champ"
Because Jim Lamply did that in the middle of an HBO telecast when Shannon Briggs beat Liakovic.

I think it was Merchant who said it actually. You never know he may have had a stroke by then and not be able to broadcast anyways. Kellerman wouldn't say it as he's a true fightfan, Merchant is just an old, cranky, belligerant sob who likes to shit on people's parades. It probably gave him pleasure to ruin the result for everyone, a bit like TysonBruno

In that article about Merchant he did not give Kellerman much credit. He pretty much built himself up as the last of the newspaper guys to be a commentator. He does not seem that impressed with Kellerman just on how he spoke.

I like Max but truth is I like The old timer style of Merchant....He is truly one of the last of the old era as far as it goes to calling and broadcasting....He came up in the days of Burt Sugar.....Like them or not those guys have forgotten more about this sport then any of the guys today ever knew.....I like Max but he has a long way to go before he is on the level of Larry.
