I'm more intrigued in the Hopkins fight I still dont know how to feel about him.
    I feel the same way. Can't stand Broner's attitude and gimmick, but I'll watch it and root for the Brit.

    Winner of Sakio Bika vs. Nikola Sjekloca is likely to face Bute next!

    No interest in that fight. Bute already beat Bika and Bika will win this weekend, but it's a good fight on paper. Glad to see Bika back in the ring. It seems like he hasn't been in a meaningful fight in forever.

    As for Broner, I understand the dislike for his personality, but his thrashing of Demarco was legit. There's no reason for him to go up in weight if he can make 135 comfortably. I want to see him against Vasquez at 135, if he gets by Burns. That said, I understand why people would not want HBO wasting $ on a Rees fight. The outcome is predetermined.

    Agree. No reason for Bute to fight Bika again. For Broner, I do not understand the hatred levelled at the guy. He's a goofball clown who looks a little silly with his Floyd worship but so what. Irrelevant. I don't watch boxing matches because of a particular persons personality. That is merely a by-product of the main ingredient which is pugilism. Lots of my favourite fighters were wing nuts.

    Many people were taking Demarco across the boxing forum world and several sports writers. Of course which is the norm these days after suffering from a good ole can of whoop ass, he is a bum.
    And if someone could I'd like to know a reason for calling Gavin a bum also?

    Hbo probably got that fight for a song and we do not know if anyone else was offered the fight. Keep in mind that this is an optional defense but he will be faced with a mandatory next. I have a feeling that he will go to 140 because they will not be able to come to terms with Burns. In addition there appears to be a lot more options in that area. I don't think anyone is going to be lining up to fight him at 135. I think he will be a welter by December or shortly thereafter.

    Bute may want to fight Bika to see what he has left after the smack down from Froch.

    Broner is the real deal and I would love for him to fight out best lightweight and that is not Gavin Rees.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Burns has beat Vasquez first and I'm riding with Vasquez in that one.

    I'm looking forward to the Broner fight to be honest. I'm just hoping Rees does well enough so that Broner has to show us what he's got. At least both of them have managed to stay uninjured for this fight. This is the first main event of the year that's been televised by the two big US channels that's survived, right?

    -Heads up, it looks like HBO isn't going to air this card until 10:30 PM ET or about 2 hours from now, first we get a wrenching gutful of Jay-z's ugly, skanky, 'ho, 'Bounce'. Just guessing, chances are, the only undercard fight that will be shown will be Sakio Bika vs. Nikola Sjekloca.

    cheers

    Well, Sky sports is still saying the fights start at 2am uk time, which is only 10 minutes away?

    That's not what i'm seeing on the HBO listing for tonight's card mate. Sky sports may be airing some of the other undercard fights like the WBC super middleweight eliminator fight, with Demetrius Hopkins vs. Charles Whittaker et al, a bit earlier.
