Thanks for posting the schedules, but they don't show the approximate times of the main events (i hope). Since the crawford and matthysse/provo fights are a split-site double-header by HBO, i was thinking they might want to stagger the fight times (otherwise viewers will have to pick one to watch live and one via tape delay). However, the second link (which i normally use) has the exact same times for both fights.

It's always hard to approximate main events because there's no telling how long the undercards will go, but I'm positive the Matthyse/Provo (in East Coast) fight happens first, then they go to the Crawford vs. Dulorme fight (in Texas). _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Hope nothing happens that'll kill the momentum on that one, like when Juan Manuel Lopez and Gamboa were going back and forth in the media. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

And he tried to use the example of Pacquiao making him come down to 145, which was actually only 1 pound less than he weighed in for his prior fight with Clottey.
Not only that, but he's gonna ask all Middleweight fighters to fight him at a catchweight, not the full 160! Eeek...He might as well go back down to 154. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Cant see the fight happening now. I blamed Stevenson the first time but this falls on main events, Kathy Duva. They went to the WBC and asked to be made the mandatory then backed out of a purse they knew they weren't going to win. On top of that they signed a extension with hbo which prohibits kovalev from fighting on another network

Yup. They're trying to build up the hype, but something is going to derail that from happening for sure and it won't be anywhere near as big, if it ever does happen. They're hoping to make it into the next version of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao...LOL. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

126 was too much for Nonito and even though he got picked apart by Rigo, I'd still love to see Nonito bounce back at 122. I don't see that much greatness in either Quigg or Frampton.
In the meantime, there are reports out of the Philippines that Nonito might fight another tuneup in July (Macau) (I'm assuming that's if the Quigg fight doesn't get made). _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Kathy Duva responded...Stevenson's promoter might have done that, just to bring Stevenson out of the bad light because this entire time, everything has made it look like Stevenson didn't want the fight

They went to the WBC asking to be made the mandatory. Maybe they should have waited
Yeah, I think that move was just to piss Stevenson's people off and offset Al Haymon's strategy in building up Stevenson's value. Stevenson and his people started the whole mess, by agreeing to the fight initially, but then bolting for an exclusive deal with Showtime (even though he was a HBO fighter at the time), which is why Kovalev ended up having the famous "He's a piece of $4@!" quote.
I think Duva purposely asked to be made the mandatory, just so that Stevenson would end up losing the belt from not being able to finalize fight negotiations, then Kovalev would fight someone else for the open title and become the unified/lineal champ and they could build the hype up more, hoping both guys would keep winning and it would reach a Mayweather/Pacquiao level.
I don't know if I can see them realistically build up that fight to that proportion, but all the things that have been done were clearly business decisions, to build up the tension and animosity (all publicity is good publicity), for when they can really make big money out of it. _________________ Just chill and watch the new Dynasty evolve...

Could be leading up to September versus Canelo. Canelo's moving up in weight. Nothing at 54 left for him especially after the Floyd loss and barely beating Lara.
