Great Heavyweight fight tonight with Kubrat Pulev vs. Alexander Ustinov in an IBF Eliminator.

Fuck that shit fight with Povetkin and his fake title. I love Hasim Rahman but I don't want him to win. I want to see Povetkin squirm when he's in the ring with Wladimir.

BTW, if a stream from my source is available, I try and put it up here for everyone to see the live action from Germany.

EDIT - Khan returns to fight 5'6 Lightweight Carlos Molina (17-0-1 with 7 KO's) in December. As Khan is now heading to Showtime, it's possibly taking place in Madison Square Garden.

The opponent could be worse. I'm just glad he isn't fighting Tyrone Nurse who has like 3 KO's in over 20 wins.

It's best not to share streams in public.

Share it via PMs.

Ah, okay. Thanks for pointing that out.

Haven't actually found a stream today but the fight I was looking forward to has already taken place. It was such a one sided bullying from Kubrat Pulev to Ustinov from what I've read.

Ustinov who is 6'7 and weighs over 300 pounds. Another big man that falters when he realizes he can't bully someone.

Now then Povetkin, lets see how you fare against the real World Heavyweight Champion.

Wladimir isn't no washed up Hasim Rahman. As a Rahman fan, I hate to see him look so pathetic but..

In his prime, Hasim was a danger man. Sucks to get old.

Sauerland Event are my favorite promoters. They can make great fights when they want to.

Masternak vs. Alekseev has been made but with no date yet. Good fight. Alekseev is one of the most disappointing talents in the Cruiserweight division. He should have been a titlist by now. His weak chin should make this fight fun.

Oh and Bermaine Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola is happening. Stiverne hits like a mule so I wonder if Chris can take his shots. Stiverne's only defeat is to the tough Demetrice King.

Antonio Tarver is suspended for a year. His defense was 'I didn't take steroids because my body didn't look no different at the weigh in'..

Anyways, I reckon he'll retire. His Showtime job is done.

On another note, Top Rank has signed Felix Verdejo. I reckon he'll go far.

Arthur Abraham is fighting a Middleweight in some clever match making from Sauerland. Robert Helenius is also returning. He's had some vicious knockouts so I'm pumped for his return.

I always enjoyed Tarver... unless Andre Dirrell was fighting. Tarver doesn't know the meaning of impartial when calling a Dirrell fight.

Some folks were saying he shouldn't lose his role as a Showtime commentator.

I liked him. I thought he and Roy Jones were the best commentator's out there.

Speaking of old fighters.. Roy is fighting Kimbo in Jamaica and Evander Oldyfield.. Holyfield.. is taking on Ray Mercer in South Africa.

They're exhibitions but I still find them incredibly sad.

Oh and the 'legend' Danny Green is fighting Shane Cameron for the IBO belt. Should be fun. Cameron's KO of Monte Barrett was fucking awesome. One of the best KO's this year.

HBO is launching a Middleweight box off. The participants discussed:

Daniel Geale
Gennady Golovkin
Dimitry Pirog
Matthew Macklin

Geale is coming off the Sturm upset. Golovkin needs the exposure as he is just dynamite to watch. Pirog just needs to be active and Macklin destroyed Alcine in just 1 round.

This is going to be good.
