Tonight's HBO doubleheader is very good, but NBCSN's is poor. Cunningham's obese opponent Natu Visinia has never even fought an opponent ranked in the BoxRec top 400! [url]http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=490434&cat=boxer[/url] Cunningham isn't getting any younger, how does it benefit his career to fight someone like Visinia?
They recently made a deal w/ Al Haymon, so they're just getting an early start w/ all the miss-matches!
Main Events is running out the clock on their deal. Why waste time and money on a decent show when the network already decided to go the Haymon route? I'll give NBCSN and Main Events credit for putting on good shows on a low budget (Judah-Paris, Cunningham-Mansour) to name a few. No they've just gone back to pretty much pedestrian bouts.
Should have been forced to rematch Amir Mansour. Mansour was robbed in the first fight, disgusting long count on each KD of nearly 20 seconds long between KD and fight being waived on again. The NBC card this year have been absolutely awful. I'm no Al Haymon fan but the sooner he takes over the dates the better as even though i don't like his match making most of the time, it'll be miles better then the fights Kathy Duva is putting on at the moment.
I agree. Amir Mansour was robbed of a KO win with that long count, and deserves a rematch. The referee Steve Smoger (who has been as bad as Laurence Cole and Jack Reiss this year) was doing all he could to help Cunningham.
