Round 1: Fight!

Diaz Diazes Diaz’s Open Workout

(At this point, I have to believe that Dana and Lorenzo are on it.  I mean, they have to be, right?  They have to be instructing him to keep going with his “rebel” personality, right?  Nobody can be this unprofessional and dumb.  Since they HAVE to be pulling the strings on this, I gotta go 10-9 Zuffa…yes?)

Round 2: Fight!

Lucian Bute vs. Jean Pascal done for May 25 in Montreal.

(Fantastic news.  These are the two biggest boxing draws in Canada, and while they’ve both lost some cache the past couple years, it’ll still be an electric environment in Montreal and I can’t wait to see it.  Should be a fun fight, too!  Bute by late TKO.  10-8 Boxing.)

Round 3: Fight!

Hopkins vs. Cloud does 1.2 million viewers, continues downward trend for Hopkins.

(Not fantastic news for HBO, but it’s still over a million, and Tavoris Cloud doesn’t carry nearly as much weight as Chad Dawson or Jean Pascal.  I don’t know how much Hopkins has left, but he’s still a reliable premium-cable draw. 10-10)

Round 4: Fight!

Herschel Walker wants one more fight…in the UFC.

(Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope, but good luck avoiding fight applications from all of Walker’s personalities!  Ben Rothwell vs. Lawnmower von Dutchcastle IV in Winnipeg for 162.)
