    I try to never miss FNF's, but am really looking forward to seeing Wlad fight....and Kell Brook...and Gavin Rees vs Mathews should be good.... and Tyson Fury...and Nonito and Kelly on the same card, though both should win handily.

    Good **** :deal

    I have honestly had limited opportunities to see Tyson fight. Same with Kell Brook.


    Do you agree little Gavin vs Derry Mathews could be a good one? (or no?)



    Also like to say good on Pavlik! He's been out there taking his "medicine" for ****ing up. He's gone from thinking he should only be on big $$ shows and PPV's to fighting off TV then FNF's and now (with a little "luck" due to a pull out) here he is back on HBO!

    Everybody said he needed to take all these fights to build back up, and he's doing it. :deal

    I look at those lineups and just get pissed, mostly. What the hell is Donaire doing fighting a no-hoper like Mathebula? There are plenty of better options on the table. Same thing with Pavlik/Rosinksy

    Should be good. Definitely watching the Sky card. Hopefully the Klitschko fight too.

    Pavlik just fought a couple weeks ago on FNF's and that fight is a fill in due to a pull out. :good

    I think, even though admitidly weak opp again, he's doing the right thing staying busy like this after his issues, and he'll be on HBO....where maybe he can put on a good show.

    That was exactly my first thought too when I saw the amount of fights. His keyboard gonna need replaced. :p

    Like Janes Chicken said, not all the best match ups ever, but lots of good fighters going in the ring Saturday.

    Just watched Rosinksy's last fight a few hours ago. I don't see the kid going long with Kelly since Kelly will be out to look impressive and not go rounds.

    will rosinsky is no pushover. anyone who's saying this isnt a worthy matchup for pavlik didnt see rosinsky's performance against la bomba rodriguez. the scoring in that fight was disgraceful. this fight, as far as i'm concerned, will tell me if pavlik is truly a player at smw or not.

    Will was the proverbial "at Will" in his last fight against a guy that had so much ring rust the made the tin man look like Sweet Pea.

    will was at will?

    anyway, he pushed rodriguez and won rounds. if pavlik gets him out of there, he's made a statement.

    True dat, but sometimes it's fun to watch a really good fighter dominate an opponent, to just marvel at his skill. Plus, at least you don't have to worry about some BS SD. (maybe I spoke too soon? :? )

    Also, Sug3 has me very psyched to see this javier fortuna kid.
