Round 1: Fight!
Bernard Hopkins and Nathan Cleverly interested in a bout between the two.
(Very interesting to see Hopkins being so complimentary towards Cleverly. Cleverly is very skilled and precise, not unlike the Executioner himself. Hopkins has a mandatory challenge in the summer, but I’d love to see this happen down the road. 10-9 for B-Hop for calling all comers, even younger guys with nothing to lose and not coasting on names.)
Round 2: Fight!
Superkombat president Eduard Irimia Announces a Split with K-1.
(This is only good news for Superkombat. K-1 wasn’t contributing anything and leeching off of them. It could have been a fruitful partnership if K-1 could have chipped in anything, but SK is doing fine on its own and is becoming a clear #2 Kickboxing promotion in the world. 10-9 Superkombat for cutting the cord with a viable name. Ballsy and I like it.)
Round 3: Fight!
Bellator Summer Series is Back! Now with shorter tournaments!
(Everyone is a winner here. 10-8s all around! I’d prefer the longer tourneys, but if they’re running a short series, it only makes sense to have short tournaments. Plus, this will get right to the contenders. Fantastic. I miss Bellator already.)
