‘The Gloves are off’ ‘the round table’ is there an American version?

The gloves are off in the uk is the only part of the build up I can be bothered with.
Sack the pressers, media workouts nah not for me, weigh ins nah mate, face offs staredowns pfff these are all standard requirements, obligations I get that.

Question for US fight fans, is there anything similar over there? And isn’t it time they were mandatory as part of pre fight publicity?

 

I didn’t realise thanks for the education, would you agree that this format should be a requirement for a fight? Iam biased as I think it’s awsome, I noticed Joshua and povetkin didn’t have one. Thanks man, did RJJ ever do one? Respect

 

That’s an interesting thought think Iam the opposite, I want to see every fighter face their challenger intellectually, I love to see the fighters knowlage put to the test by their foe. And having to handle the pressure.
I thought Higgins Hearn was fantastic, Higgins is such an odd character, how is he involved in championship boxing?
My favourites (without being aware of HBO original) were not the Mano a Mano gloves are off but the heavyweight and middleweight specials. Kugan is awsome love ifl and love to see him do the hosting, but I think his soft natured interview style wouldn’t fit. Kugans awkward interview style is what makes ifl not so sure it would translate to GAO

 

Jackobs vs Derevianchenko? Really? FOTY contender?

 

I wasn’t sure myself like, I trust it tho.
When the last decent US card, that had universal apeal? Apart from main event? US cards are main event and filler fights, from an outsiders POV and I stop up every weekend to watch.
Over here the undercards have more appeal and seem to be more inclusive and more part of the whole card.
Eddie is doing good things for boxing fans over there, and here.
He has no concern for any of his fighters tho and it’s scary that it goes so unnoticed by so many.
Look at his treatment of Kell brook
