Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch is a must see fight. Mikkel Kessler vs. Allan Green - Kessler by KO, Green never wins in big fights. Fuck Peterson messing up a classic rematch. Now Khan is closer to a big fight, without even fighting.. Khan should fight Devon at 147, or the winner of Ortiz vs Berto 2, then he will have a superfight with Mayweather. Peterson is going to have a hard time getting his career back on track.

ShoBox tonight should be pretty good. It'd be good to see any of Badou Jack, only representative of his country ever in boxing in the Olympics (forgot what country though) and Jhonson should erase Nelson.

How in the hell did Nelson get up from that 4th round knockdown. Not alone did he get up he beat Jhonson down the rest of the fight. Good Shobox card.

Props to Nelson that was a massive left. I'm not a big fan of the ref stopping Jhonson for at least 15 seconds the two times he did get Nelson hurt but Jhonson's big problem has been a lack of aggression. He just doesn't go for it when he needs to and sits back too long. Nelson looked a million times better than last time I watched him fight, knockdown and all.

Jack was unimpressive considering how much hype he's been getting as a prospect.

Solis is making his return tonight, fighting for a vacant "IBF inter-continental HW belt"

He weighed in at 267 yesterday though. This guy is so talented but so damn fat. Look at him here in the Olympics in 2004:

Someone needs to get him out of Miami and all that american food!

damn that was a good fight, Green came strong in the first! he should of put it on Kessler and got him out of there. Kessler was swinging for the fences like he had some extra shit in him( I thinks hes on that shit to be honest). that was a classic knockout tho, reminded me of Pacqiaou vs Hatton. Just shows you how good Andre Ward is cause he beat that nigga kessler every round by smothering his punches.

why would you say kessler has extra shit in him? All of Sauerland's fighters take extra drug testing including kessler. Besides it was allen green, who sucks ass.

Seriously why do people feel the need to accuse every fighter under the sun of taking something illegal. If any fighter gains any kind of mass between fights, he's using, a fighter moves up weight classes and still carries his power, he's using, someone has amazing cardio and can throw punches for days, he's using, a guy is over 40 and still competing a high level, he's using. etc etc etc

co-sign man.

And trips I'm going to pick on you a bit because you said the same damn thing about amir khan and then peterson got popped for being dirty and khan came up clean. IMO it's not cool just randomly saying that about someone without a shred of evidence or even reasoning. But we're cool haha just felt like rubbing it in a bit.

As for the KO, very nice. Maybe even a KO of the year candidate

I'd like to see hopkins vs kessler in Denmark. would be a lot of money for both of them and a good way for hopkins to ride off in the sunset with a win over a good fighter.

kessler has wanted to fight hopkins before the dawson fight and there aren't many options for him for a while. bute and froch signed a two fight contract against eachother (lol), Dawson vs Ward will happen and cloud vs pascal is happening. only other option is Nathan Cleverly but who knows when he'll decide to stop fighting bums.
