You know damn well no gang wanted Sherman's lame ass.

Regardless of his lies and overall goofy antics, Adonis is my Fighter of the Year so far. Followed by Golovkin, Garcia and Kovalev.

Lame ass story man... like a white boy stepping on your shoes in the club type s**t

Adonis is a beast though. Dude got heavy hands. That is a nice division. Who doesn't want to see Stevenson fight Kovalev. Thats some s**t I would pay to see

Paulie or Judah?

Should b entertaining, too older crafty vets battling for the crown of brooklyn.

Manny Pacquiao's much-awaited return to the ring on April 12, 2014 will be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Top Rank chief Bob Arum told Fightnews and the Manila Bulletin. Arum said the identity of Pacquiao's foe will be known before Christmas. Tim Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez and even Ruslan Provodnikov, who is also being trained by Freddie Roach, are being considered. But Bradley, who won an unpopular split decision over the Filipino in June last year, and Marquez, who stopped Pacquiao in their fourth fight in November of the same year, are the leading candidates. Pacquiao is fresh from a convincing win over Brandon Rios in Macau.

I doubt its Marquez. I want to see him in against Provodnikov but doubt it since they are in the same gym. Garcia and Broner should be on that list.

Smart move by Arum to have Manny fight in April, a month before when Floyd is likely to fight next. I'm 95% sure he will be fight Bradley. Manny gets to avenge his "loss" and since both fighters are Top Rank, all the money stays in house.

No way Golden Boy and Floyd let Broner fight Manny right now. Although the money would be great, they're better off building him as the next great superstar to takeover for manny/floyd.

But he's gotta have a rival. Who's that gonna be?

Yep. I don't want to see that sh*t again.

when does broner fight again?
I wouldn't mind seeing Paulie vs Broner again. That was some legit hatred there. I thought Paulie did more and should of won because Broner just stood there in the philly shell all fight and blocked, then threw once in awhile. I seen Adrian get fatter too. I seent it.

The Paulie/Broner fight sucked IMO. Yeah they hate each other cause Broner was a d bag and tried to clown Paulie by bringing up that female, but its a boring match up. Paulie cannot hurt Broner. Broner doesn't really take chances. He'll cover up, Paulie will be busy with some weak shots and Broner will have his flurries and win relativley easily. Broner clearly won that fight.

We still don't know how good Broner is. What are the predictions for his fight against Maidana? I don't know much about Maidana, but from what I've heard its clearly Broner's best opponent. Also, they are fighting next Saturday the 14th if I recall correctly.

Sorry buddy, it's next Saturday on the 14th.

This weekend is:

Showtime
Paulie Malinaggi vs Zab Judah
Devon Alexander vs Shawn Porter
Elisandry Lara vs Austin Trout
Sakio Bika vs Anthony Dirrell

HBO
Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Joseph Agbeko
James Kirkland vs Glen Tapia
Matthew Macklin vs Lamar Russ

The fight I'm probably gonna watch is the Kirkland/Tapia bout, which should have some big hits and would be shocked if it made it past 8 rounds. Though, that Lara/Trout fight could be interesting (I know some ppl might not like Lara's style, but he is probably the most dangerous junior middleweight b/c he's technically sound, good left, and can switch from defensive to attack. His knock is the same as Rigo's, can be too cautious), and the Rigo/Agbeko could be a surprise if Rigo decides to change his style to a more crowd-friendly (and when I mean crowd, I mean general crowd. I personally love watching his technical skills and overall speed. Sure, not flashy but he's so damn polished in technique it's nasty). Should be a good weekend
