    So you got a don king fighter against a do Bella fighter on a card opened by a top rank fighter against a goosen fighter? Strange

    I know top rank won the purse bids for rigo vs ramos but thought they were doing it on a top rank live card on the 17th

    Wow... Showtime is getting serious with boxing. HBO better watch out!

    And I'm glad they got rid of Steve Albert for Gus Johnson.

    I can't believe they're going to put a card on new years eve. Nice card at any rate.

    Maybe I've got some things wrong, but I thought Erdie vacated the WBO title in order to move up to cruiser, but apparently he moved right back down to 175. So fill me in. What was that all about?

    He was forced up to CW by Universum and weighed 178lbs for the fight.

    Gus Johnson is the worst announcer in boxing.

    Brahmer (an ethnic German) held the WBO interm belt, Erdei the WBO belt at SMW. Universum forced Erdei to move up to CW so that Brahmer could be the regular WBO 'champion' knowing that Erdei would kick his ass if he had to fight him. Erdei weighing 178lbs engaged in a FOTY slugfest with 200lb Fragomeni and won the WBO CW title. He then left Universum (not without difficulties just like Golovkin, Dzinziruk. etc) signed with an American promoter and has been avoided by 175lbers until now. Here's his oppertunity to prove what he has.

    great fights

    Cloud is great toe to toe, likes to mix it up has power and likes to punch, Erdei likes to trade and throws lots of punches, i see and inside fight where neither guy wants to give ground

    Ramos vs Rigo two guys with power, the Japanese guy that Ramos won the belt from was schooling him til the left hook i think Rigo wins
