Boxing fundamentalists will surely run after this one, but let's face it, the average boxing fan looks for excitement, slugfests and blood & guts, not technical mastery and chess matches. The poor undercard isnt helping things either. Larios and Andrade are hardly marquee names and recent shoot out losses have proved that they're not top rank guys. Katsidis is too unknown at this point. My prediction is that this one will sell under 200,000. What's your figure and are you ordering it or not?
either way snoozefest or not they are 2 huge names in the division. id say somewhere between 400,000 and 500,0000
I don't understand why everyone needs to hate on the fight. Why does every single fight need to be a brawl to be good? It's not like these two boxers are B-level technical boxers who will be feeling each other out for 12 rounds. They're both technical masters and it should be interesting to see how they adjust to each other. I love seeing brawls and I'm excited about matches like Vargas-Mayorga or Arce-Darchinyan, but isn't it fun to sometimes just see how elite BOXERS compete with eachother?
Wright's not all that boring to me. He's not especially entertaining nor is he a big puncher, but he does tend to stay at range and throw a lot of shots. Hopkins, probably due to age, has to pick his spots more and throws less punches. He's the one who's generally been dull in the last couple years.
