    They're having a FACE OFF. How could you not be excited about that?

    Because Kellerman is atrocious at hosting those things, and Lemieux and Golovkin have dry personalities.

    I'd rather watch a Lewis-Vitali chess match.

    If they do one of those, I'd watch, because Ray Donovan is an awesome narrator.

    They should get him to host the Face Offs going forward - in character,.

    Very odd. Seems to me they're clearly choosing the wrong horse (with Kovalev being the clear frontrunner that they SHOULD be tryiong to turn into a star).

    I imagine the fact that Kovalev is stuck with Main Events and Kathy Duva is preventing what I'd imagine should be his natural progression.

    Humble/Kind isn't dry. They have charming personalities. Watch Emoji face-off with Max Kellerman on Sportsnation with both of them and you'll see what I mean.

    Also, regardless of whether trash talk is said, it's still an intense situation to listen to your opponent explain how/why they're going to beat you to your face.

    Pac never trash talked in his face-offs, and they were still awesome to watch.

    But, then again, I don't think you'll ever be satisfied with anything regarding this fight. ;)

    I'd be satisfied if it does less PPV buys than Hopkins-Dawson, but that's about as likely as a Lemieux victory.

    And see, as awful as Kellerman is at running those Face Off disasters, I'd tune in for this one, because Wlad and Fury have interesting personalities.
