    Hell of a conspiracy theory. I seriously think IV and V are a bit out of line though. It's not like GBP has changed the voters for the Ring rankings since they took over, and it's not like their fighters have been unduly bumped in the rankings. Also, FNF doesn't tend to pay enough to get GBP fighters on there. Finally, Solo Boxeo has been replaced by another boxing show Arum will be airing on Azteca America.

    Could be interesting, but we'll see how it goes. Hopkins isn't the most eloquent fighter in the world, but he's gotta be better than Flummox Lewis.

    the only problem with Roy is that he has a thick accent. Sometimes i don't understand it.

    I wonder how he is going to talk without sounding muffled when he is on the air. It must be hard for him to sound normal when his head is jammed up Oscar's rectal canal.

    He did pretty bad already. They brought him in with Brian Kenny and they talked Celtics vs Cavs. He kept stuttering.

    Then they talked about Gamboa and he sounded like John Madden (i.e. stating the obvious).

    I thought he would bring something more, but that was his first time I guess.

    His commentary tonight was excellent. He provided his predictions on Marquez/Diaz (taking Diaz) and Margarito/Mosley (taking Mosley).

    Only thing is that he started calling Margarito, Mayorga at point.

    He spoke articulately.

    He's pretty decent so far. Hopkins isn't a natural speaker so what he's done so far is pretty decent.

    He's doing alright so far. I wouldn't mind them keeping him on.
