    I hope this is a joke.

    Showtime has been putting on mismatches, showcase fights and 2nd rate fights. The problem is that a lot of the fighters are under-performing, making some fights more competitive than it should be.

    HBO is putting on quality match ups compared to Showtime recently.

    :lol:

    everyone and their momma thinks maidana gave floyd all he could handle.

    same with herrera against garcia....then fonfara against stevenson.

    explain to me how those are mismatches????

    kovalevs fights on hbo have all been mismatches.

    same with ggg.

    BS.

    Look at the odds for those fights.

    Garcia -1000 to -1900
    Mayweather -1100
    Stevenson -1800

    Herrera got robbed. Stevenson and Mayweather got exposed by big underdogs.

    the best fighter on hbo is ward. guess where ward came up? showtime.

    he jumped ship at the wrong time because they don't appreciate him. he beats both ggg and kovalev when those fights happen.

    i actually thought the garcia/herrera fight would be tough. i had garcia 7-5. wouldn't mind seeing the rematch. i knew fonfara would make it a fight. again...wouldn't mind seeing the rematch but i'm looking forward to bhop/stevenson. floyd stood in the pocket like he said he would...maidana didn't really land ****. everyone is screaming for the rematch. looks like showtime has some pretty good opportunities for rematches and other fights.

    hbo on the otherhand....no one wants to see ggg's next fight against his mandatory. who is kovalev fighting next?

    i need to catch up on the seasons. i've not been watching much lately.

    i will say that hbo has some pretty good shows. game of thrones and boardwalk empire were two of my favorites.
