Format will be this( for now, what I'm told): Mares vs. Darchinyan and Perez-Agbeko. And winners will meet. More details to come

Oh boy. We are gonna find out just what "Whack-whack-whack" really has aren't we? He's fighting Darchynian? WOW!

That sounds good with me. I presume Arum didnt enter because he still trying to make that in house money. Donaire and Montiel would of made it a lot better, but Arum refuses to work with other promoters. Vic Darchinyan is the weakest here because he cant bully at Bantom. Agbeko is a step below Perez. Mares was screwed in a decision against Perez. This is a tourney at which can make any of these little guys an instant star.

vic aka gargamel has no bussiness at 118. mares will ko him silly. that perez-king kong rematch looks really good though.

Sucks Arum is such a greedy bastard. Those will be some great fights, I'd pick Mares to win it all.

I really am starting to hate "bullshit" bob arum. His disregard for what is good for the sport is unbelievable.

Typical Arum, it's becoming more and more clear he's not fit for the job anymore, it's time Todd Debouf took over Top Rank.

Once again Showtime proves why they're the #1 netwrok for boxing !! More interested in making great fights than trying build up stars and milk pay per views.

HBO's whole idea is ridiculous. They try to predict who has star potential and then they go into propaganda mode.


Then when the guys lose they look like idiots, for their blatant cheerleading.
Jacobs get KTFO and they don't interview Pirog. Maybe there wasn't an interpreter, but there has to be someone in his corner, etc.... that spoke enough english to translate if that wasn't the case.


Want to know if there is a star, then match top fighters and see who has something special.

Pirog had a interpreter at the press conference, and anyway it's Las Vegas so there's bound to be multiple Russian interpreters walking around.

Imagine what would happen if Showtime had HBO's budget.

HBO is bad for fighters and their development. When you overpay a guy like Berto to fight guys that he should beat, then why in the hell is he going to fight anyone dangerous without getting paid alot more?????
