I'm heavily leaning towards Hopkins but he did look a bit dodgy against Murat. Bute's last two fights were pretty poor and Hopkins would negate his power as he always does.
It starts whenever it starts. Perez vs. Takam starts a short time after HBO goes on the air, which happens @ 10:15 PM EST. So it all depends on Perez vs. Takam, really. The main event could be earlier than eleven or later than eleven thirty.
There's several good up-and-comers on the undercard: Rivas Beterbiev Zewski [url]http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=677666[/url]
Rivas is very promising but he is fighting a cruiserweight if I'm not mistaken, and not a very good one at that.
I agree, Cox is a disappointing opponent for Rivas. Both Zewski and Beterbiev are fighting soft opponents as well.
agreed... beterbiev i can understand, its still very early in his career but we all know he can do better, maybe his opponent was all gym could afford given the size of this event. zewski on the other hand, i would like to see them step it up...they are doing the sme thing with him as they did with david lemieux..if they dont step up his competition, then by time he does he will be full of confidence but wont be prepared to fight a better fighter..
