Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Some more rumored bouts...

  1. Antonio Tarver vs. Nagy Aguilera, on Showtime, October 15. It will be Tarver's heavyweight debut. Just waiting on a location to sign at this point. Aguilera has lost twice since upsetting Oleg Maskaev.
  2. Vitali Klitschko vs. Tomasz Adamek, next year, at MSG. They're still in the early stages of talks for this one, but it would make sense for all sides, and HBO has expressed interest. In the interim, Adamek vs. Lance Whitaker seems likely at the end of this year.
  3. Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal, December 18, on HBO. According to Richard Schafer, talks are progressing nicely. TV availability in both the US and Canada will determine the final date.
  4. According to Dan Rafael, Mike Jones's likely opponent for the Pacquiao-Margarito undercard is Jesus Soto-Karass. Since decent names are involved, expect all three undercard fights to be showcase type bouts.
  5. Adrian Diaconu will face Omar Sheika on the undercard of Lucian Bute against Jesse Brinkley. No U.S. TV date as of yet for that one, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't end up being available in the US somehow, even if only by internet PPV.

At least Adamek’s gonna get the deteriorating one, as opposed to the chinny one he still couldn’t hurt.

When was the last time Hopkins fought on regular HBO? It’s been a while.

Just learning from their mistakes. His last three PPV fights all did very poorly, and the tune-up was small-time enough to belong (and be placed on) Versus.

Hopkins-Calzaghe was on HBO.

Oh yeah, that’s right.

One of the least entertaining fights ever between two Top-10 PFP boxers.

I guess Hopkins-Wright and Hopkins-Taylor II were also pretty unentertaining.

I was just wondering the other day when Mason “The Line” Dixon was getting out there at heavyweight.

All he needs is a 60 year old boxer to truly challenge him for the first time.

HE SHOULD FIGHT HOLYFIELD!!

Much like Rocky Balboa no one really thinks he should be fighting anymore.

Yeah, actually, that’s exactly the matchup I want to see him in. Let the ancients stay with the ancients. Let the WBC invent a Seniors Belt (still green, but graying in corners.) I mean, it’s not like I want to see Tarver v. Klitschko/Haye/any heavyweight top 10 any time soon.

(Unless Arreola is still top 10, because then, whatever.)

Oh I was serious. I’d just pretend it was a movie.

I was too, albeit maybe for different reasons.
