    • Johnny Ace: Really looking forward to these fights, but you got a good point.

    • Thats just where the money is placed. We can still see that there are some good matchups this weekend.
      Davis – Barrios is more of a 50-50 at this point.
      We haven’t seen Davis at 140 and he’s in really tough.
      When Santa 37-1 came up to fight Tank there was a lot of outcry against Tank. Now that Tank is moving up (2 weight classes), against a tough championship level fighter 26-0, you think its an easy fight because of how the odds look? The joke is the fans continuing to not give credit where credit is due.

      • Good points. Barrios’ style of fighting in my opinion is what will make Tank take the throne this weekend. Barrios uses minimal head movement and tends to stand in front of opponents when he sets his power-up. Tank’s style is tailor-made for this matchup. My prediction is Tank will take the fight in his direction in the middle rounds and beyond leading to a TKO. I am okay to admit if I am wrong.

        • my chrystal ball shows Barrios head flying back from a vicious Tank uppercut in the 9th, but after a valiant effort.

    • Agreed. This is a good fight, but not worth that much money unless your bank account is plentiful. I am sure the Firestick owners are salivating now since it’s a freebie. Like always, nearly everything gets uploaded for free post-PPV. I thank the uploaders for their work in doing so.

      • Where do you find full fights? Seems like Showtime gets them taken down as soon as they are up. Still looking for full fights of Jack and Hurd from recent Mayweather exhibition. If you see good quality full videos post from future fights let us know.

        • Johnny:
          Buy the Amazon Fire Stick for about $40 and you will get to watch every PPV for free. This is what I have been doing for the past 2 years.

    • At least they’re real, supremely talented fighters, and have paid their dues in the sport. I would much rather see these guys reaping the rewards of overpriced PPV than Brothers Paul, but I still don’t think this is a PPV caliber fight. Boxing fans should refrain from paying for these fights before it spins out of control. That’s what killed boxing in the late 80’s and 90’s when Don King and Bob Arum took boxing almost exclusively to cable and PPV.

  • Barrios has zero chance of winning a decision. He can knock down tank all he wants but if it goes to the scorecards Tank wins it.

    $75 for this garbage? No thank you!

  • I don’t know man. I think going up two weight divisions may be somewhat of a tough time in beating Barrios. We will see how Tank performs and if he scores the knockout/win or maybe barrios scores an upset.

    Also it be nice if PPV boxing was under 30 dollars.

  • Remember when TVKO had a monthly Friday night ppv series for $19.95. Think Nunn vs Toney and Cooper vs Moorer were a couple of the fights offered.

  • Easy work for all of the favorites.

    Not one upset should take place.

  • Davis-Barrios is an intriguing matchup, but not enough for me to shell out to watch. I like Barrios’s style in and out of the ring, and I dislike Tanks style in and out of the ring, but I gotta go with Tank by late round KO. Aside from the fact it’s free, I will be watching the Morrell fight. He’s the reigning WBA Aluminum belt titlist, but from what I’ve seen, he’s a spectacular fighter and stylist who has boxed circles around everyone he’s fought so far (4 fights). Time will tell how good he really is, but I predict he’ll be a multi division champion for a long time.
