DKP: Trevor Cosmo Bryan, Jr. vs. Bermane Stiverne RBR

Trevor Cosmo Bryan, Jr. vs. Bermane Stiverne, 12 rounds @ heavyweight

 

So they couldn't find anyone for Ralph Murphy? (originally scheduled to face Beibut Shumenov in the co-main event)

As of this morning I thought King had still been scrambling to find him something. Why not have just done Langston vs. Murphy, then? If anybody is to have to left in the cold and sit the card out, wouldn't a journeyman like Webster be low man on the pole?

 

Well, their regular title, for sure. Which is sad, because that is the one that actually traces its lineage to Ali/Frazier/Tyson/Foreman/Holyfield/Lewis...

The one AJ has (the "Super championship") is technically only a decade old, in the infancy of its legacy.

 

Wait...so Holmes vs. Cooney is the actual main event?

Or rather, the walkout bout. They're saving it for last to cap off the PPV, anyway. Whatever you want to call it.

 

Charr has been stripped. This is for the vacant regular WBA heavyweight title.

 

So the ring announcer starts the pomp...and then we get the last bit of Randall vs. JCC to randomly kill 10 minutes?

 

No seriously, hold it for him, his hands are shaking..

 

DLH would've beaten Tito in a rematch had it not been for the SSM rivalry derailing plans for it, we all can agree?

 

I agree; if anybody comes out of this whole debacle smelling like a rose, it's Fres moreso than Gilberto Mendoza, or Chagaev, or Charr, or King, or anybody else involved...but it's also a tad farcical that he's still not giving up the ghost at this point. On the one hand I respect doggedly pursuing it on principle, but on the other, if he does get what he wants, it'll further devalue a piece of the HW gold which...isn't great. There isn't much further down left for it to sink.
