    Default They should be ashamed of themselves...

    Pavlik/Espino as a PPV is a joke. Espino is a glorified club fighter who is very easy to hit. This should be another Palik/Lockett. Props to Espino for taking the fight but who the hell is going to pay for this? I'll read about it the morning after cuz this fight would just barely be suitable for B.A.D.

    Horrible.

    Agreed did you pay for it?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's a private Top Rank PPV because none of the networks wanted anything to do with this crap of a fight.

    I'll watch a stream.

    I just want to watch the card so that I can see my boy Humberto Soto fight.

    It's not a great matchup on paper but it's not Kelly's fault, its his mandatory and if he doesn't take it he's stripped of his middleweight belt so what can he do?

    Plus Espino is game, he can box a bit and has a big heart. I reckon he will put up a better show than you think.

    I really have no interest in either fighter.

    It's a slow, deliberate process... this PPV scam. Slowly but surely, they continue lowering the bar on the fights that are PPV. Most people start off saying, quite correctly, "I wouldn't pay to watch that sh*t". But eventually, they wear the consumers down, to where it's commonplace to pay for the mundane, crappy fight. When in the past did people imagine they'd have to pay to take a dump in a pay toilet?

    Bilbo, Espino is WBC #3. He's not the mandatory. This is an optional defence as far as I'm aware.

    Anyone who pays for this garbage either is related to the fighters or is in Bellvue. A true stinker!!
