As much as I wanna watch this Fight, there is no way I’m gonna pay to listen to rap music and rap commentators. I’ll watch the highlights.
What, you don’t want to listen to more of De La Hoya’s lucid and insightful commentary?
Boxings biggest event of the year AND historic too.
I hope the streamers come out in full force for this one! The sooner Triller goes bankrupt the better.
Hunter vs Wilson should fight for the WBA Bridgerweight Championship.
So, Mike “The White Delight” Wilson is in a WBA World Title Heavyweight Eliminator? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this Wilson’s first fight at Heavyweight?
The WBA. The gift that keeps on giving….
