Still no announcement for the February 13 Showtime telecast featuring Adrien Broner vs. TBA. The co-feature for that show is supposed to be a good heavyweight scrap between Dominic Breazeale and Otto Wallin.

Looks like Bektemir Melikuziev (6-0, 5 KOs) will fight on the February 13 GoldenBoy after the cancellation of the fight scheduled for January 30 against Sergei Kovalev.

Lightweight Ryan “Kingry” Garcia, 22, told ESPN he’s quitting boxing when he turns 26 to go into MMA.

If you’re on the fence over buying the January 29 Charr-Bryan PPV, this might help. In addition to the live fights, you can hear Don King personally reminisce about several of the classic fights he promoted.

Sad to report the passing of Fred Levin, former manager of Roy Jones Jr.

Phuck me dead, who’s gonna buy the Charr-Bryan PPV? Such a woeful main event should be free on youtube.
Charr in 2!
Agreed. I do not see the value in the spending the cash on the event if it’s not appealing to me.
Kingry going into MMA down the road. Wow! He still needs to some more work on head movement and better defense.
Kid has too much confidence, if he knocks out Tank I’ll start believing him.
Carlos, you are right. Garcia on the confidence train big time. That’s ok. Many fighters need to have confidence to keep going. However, Garcia’s trainers I hope learned from the fight against Campbell that head movement, slipping, and lateral movement need to be greatly improved with Garcia. No complaints on his offense.
hes clout chasing superhype will be KOd by any of the champions including Haney and former champion Lomachenko
After he leaves boxingKingry will do some exhibitions against MMA fighters . Any prime ‘rassler will ground and pound him easy. Kickboxers transition better to MMA. Kingry looks very clean and MMA fighters are roided up. Dillian Whyte started out as an elite kickboxer and will never beat AJ, Fury in boxing. Whyte would be a great fight againt Jon Bones Jones.
Love the term you used, ” ‘rassler”. Funny stuff….
I love the sport of boxing, but couldn’t care less who Broner fights next if at all and I can’t find the fence to bother sitting on it to decide whether to buy Charr vs Bryan. Garcia to MMA at 26? You guessed it! Don’t care!!!! Until he actually leaves is really not news.
I will say that Breazeale vs Wallin is worth watching. Breazeale is rarely in a bad fight and while flawed does pose a bit of real danger to Wallin. If only they could fight for a “title”, but alas Charr and Bryan must fight first. Lol!
Excellent assessment on Breazeale.
Kingry could do great in MMA. He has 4 years to work on his wrestling. Its Not that hard when u have time and money for personal training. Look at McGregor. His striking skills made him famous. Definitely not his wrestling pedigree or lack there of lol
Very interesting analysis. Also, Garcia is very tall, very rangy, not easy to get close.
I think McGregor even got more media attention with the staged circus act against Mayweather. Even when Mayweather battered him to pieces, he was still giggling all the way to the bank afterwards.
Tony, you can’t just drill a few wrestling moves and then go up against the best. And in 4 years, how good will he be at submissions if he doesn’t compete in any grappling tournaments? James toney showed where that leads to.
Bektemir Melikuziev vs. Anthony Yarde could be a great fight
I guess has been hard to find an easy opponent for Broner. Not long ago was published in this web site, the ABC Watch List, I believe they can find in there the ideal opponent for Broner. I am sure there are plenty of good opponents for him at 140 or 147, but people behind him know that he is not in conditions to fight any of them, and desperately are trying to fight a diver to revive a bit his boxing career. Here some names that could be available: Vergil Ortiz, Sergey Lipinets, Regis Prograis, Arnold Barboza, Jose Zepeda and a lot more, but they are not divers
AB = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
I have a feeling if you buy the Charr-Bryan fight, Don King reminiscing is all you’ll be seeing.
I could sleep better knowing I paid to hear don king as opposed to paying for this joke of a PPV fight ….hmm then again I’ll save my 20$…. and kingry to mma? Go wrestle with the likes of DC and then open up about what you’ll be doing in the future
Why the hell would he wrestle with DC??? He outweighs him by over 100 pounds. Makes zero sense.
