    Who the hell is that??

    I know it was hard for him to find a fight but hes not really bound to TR right?? So whoever promotes him needs to start doing a good job. Dude is a fan friendly fighter but fighting some cupcakes (and HBO telvising :patsch) is not gonna get it done.

    Who is this guy?? :huh:huh

    He seems like a Cedric Agnew type guy. He's an undefeated fighter that no one has heard of and who hasn't beaten anyone. Aligieri has faced worse comp than Wilder and Gary Russell Jr.

    HBO will gladly air mismatches as long as the right fighter is involved.

    Yep! People talking about Showtime has been showing mismatches well this last card there wasnt one. While Kovlaev was 25-1 favorite over Agnew in a main even fight!

    Oh is that right?? What are u talking about?? Whats the last PPV's?? Pac-Rios and the weakest undercard ever were all mismatches. Then the Pac-Bradley card was weak and mismatches on there too. Last saturday's showtime card has been better then HBO's PPv's

    Ur just talking main events. The Pac-bradley card sucked. GGG-Chavez isnt signed yet. Serigo-Cotto will be a good fight

    Yes Floyd-maidana is a mismatch but anybody facing Mayweather is a mismatch. Khan-Collazo is a good fight and could steal the show. Molina might rock Broner's socks off also.

    Not saying HBO is total crap but they need to get some GB fights back on there

    they should change the name of "world title fight" . when describing an upcoming match.
    world title at one time mean the 2 best fighters in the world going at it at that weight to see whose the best. Aligieri hit list of opponents is damn near pathetic. i think he is rated in the upper 30s...and thats being generous.
    another day another water down mismatch

    thats so cliche its laughable.

    him fighting pac or sergio dropping to his old division at 154 is no mismatch.
    maybe, just maybe he would be a slight favorite in vegas. thats the key word. SLIGHT. not mismatch. mismatch was JMM, Ortiz, Fat Ghost, 40 year old Shane.
    Alvarez i dont know what the odds were but it was no mismatch on paper....it was after the fact

    Void is running from Pac because he knows that styles make fights and Pac is the wrong style for Void............

    Provodnikov will knock Aligieri out............

    Aligieri has some talent, but quite frankly I cannot believe his people made this fight. It has to one of the worst managerial decisions I have seen in a while. Provo is going to roll him.
