Im surprised at how many fights Abraham has had since the Super Six where he really got exposed, just looked it up. I feel like he totally fell off the radar and i didnt recognize the name of 1 opponent hes fought in like his last 7 fights so that probably why i thought he damn near quit fighting. Even more surprised he has a belt, the fuck lol? B-Hop can definitely dominate him as long as he doesnt injure himself since hes old as dirt its an easy thing to do

Yes he is! Too many signs, too many hints in the books. I mean that quote in my sig from Melisandre says it all, she was wrong believing it was Stannis, she misread her visions. She was talking about Jon Snow, noticed the capital S in Snow. She was talking about him, thinking she keeps asking god to see visions of Azor but he keeps showing her Jon Snow's face. She was frustrated in the book about her visions, keeps showing her damn Jon Snow stupid bitch lol She didn't realize he was showing her Azor! She also says she's way more powerful at the wall. She can do things she never could before. Like perhaps bring back the dead!

Jon Snow is dead, yes, the boy is gone. But the man Jon STARK will rise!

He's dead. His whole line, except for his cousin Arya deserve their fates. His Uncle was too noble, his aunt too noble, his cousins too noble. And yeah those are his cousins Ned ain't his pops, he'll no. The only sick ones associated with him are Arya and his fuckin dire wolf. Everyone else (not including Rickon and Bran)deserve the sword.
I'm pulling for the White Walkers. Snow is dead. Stannis did some fuck shit and I despise the Boltons. The mother of dragons is cool but that's a whole different topic.
White walkers for the win!

Jon Snow is Azor Ahai. It was no typo in the book because she was talking about Jon Snow, and then said "I pray for a glimpse of Azor Ahai, and R’hllor shows me only Snow" so it was Jon Snow she was referring to since that was the context.
She also said this to Jon "This is my place as it is yours, and soon enough you may have grave need of meThis is my place as it is yours, and soon enough you may have grave need of me. Do not refuse my friendship, Jon. I have seen you in the storm, hard- pressed, with enemies on every side. You have so many enemies. Shall I tell you their names?."
She's essentially saying she knows, she saw in her visions, Jon getting iced and that he's gonna need her to bring him back.
We know Jon is most certainly that of Targaryen and Stark blood. Being the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. That is ICE and FIRE, the name of the god damn books lol.
With that and Mel knowing there is something very special about Jon, but she misinterpreted her visions and thought Stannis was Azor, it has to be him. And if he isn't Azor, he'll at least still be Stark/Targaryen and brought back to life by Melly Mel. He's going to come back and fuck shit up just watch!

Bryant Jennings on Why He Turned Down Luis Ortiz
Posted by: Victor Salazar on 8/21/2015 .

Prudential Center, Newark, NJ - Heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (19-1, 10 KO’s) was last seen in the ring giving the heavyweight champion of the world, Wladimir Klitschko, one of his tougher fights in recent memory this past April in New York at Madison Square Garden. Jennings has been idle since then.
He was rumored to be in negotiations for a fight against heavyweight Luis Ortiz on the undercard of the October 17th HBO Pay-Per-View between Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux. But Jennings turned the fight down.
“It didn’t meet my requirements,” Jennings told BoxingScene.com at the Antonio Tarver-Steve Cunningham fight in Newark. “There are a lot of fights that are put in front of us that aren’t made. I’m not ducking him, it just didn’t meet my requirements.”
Jennings-Ortiz would have probably been tabbed as the third fight on the pay-per-view bill with Roman Gonzalez and Brian Viloria being the co-main event but says talks never got that far.
“I don’t even know what place that was going to be at,” Jennings said. “It didn’t get that far. They offered Ortiz and I was like ‘what they talking? Oh never mind. I’m a warrior but it wasn’t a good offer.’”
Jennings has recently added head trainer John David Jackson and was on hand at to watch another Philly heavyweight Steve Cunningham. Jennings feels the two could get in the ring but certain circumstances have to be correct.
“We both know, we both talked about it but we both know what it would take to get us in the ring,” explained Jennings. “It’d have to be like world title circumstances or the pay has to be worth it to fight. We’d fight for real. We’d shake hands before and after the fight but it’d be a real fight.”
Jennings doesn’t like to talk about proposed fights until they are in the negotiations stages. He feels if it’s not on paper, why waste time talking about it.
“We not going to entertain that,” Jennings said. “That’s instigation. Let’s get there before we start talking about. You not going to get me like that. I have a team and you can contact them on the situation. I have no problem with fighting everybody it don’t matter.”

Golovkin doesn’t need Ward; Ward needs Golovkin

Gennady Golovkin - Andre WardThe demand for WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO’s) to move up and fight Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KO’s) has died down somewhat since his unification match against IBF champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KO’s) was announced earlier this month.
The thought of two hellacious punchers like them coming together is enough to put the thought of any other fight to the back of one’s mind, but Ward’s presence will continue to pervade Golovkin’s career after he and Lemieux are through.
Ward, with his mugging, technical style is really the only foreseeable threat to Golovkin’s dominance. Lemieux has the power, but his technique and durability are inferior to the man he will face in October. No such misgivings exist with Ward, who has tamed every beast put in front of him with Mayweather-like objectivity.
Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez was recently asked in an interview with Fight Hype if the Ward fight was inevitable at a catch-weight or even when his man moves up a division, and he seemed slightly vexed the question.
“First of all as a reporter let me ask you this question. He moves up to 168, and he beats Andre Ward, what does he do next? Klitschko? If he beats Andre Ward, the best fighter in the world and Mayweather’s not willing to fight him, what do we do next? We have no fights. We have no fights.”
“Second thing on a more real note, Andre hasn’t done anything to warrant what his demands will be. I think this shows you today [at a promotional event for the Lemieux fight] that Gennady is becoming the A-fighter and for that fight to happen I think that Andre and Andre’s people [Roc Nation Sports] need to sit at the table with [K2 Promotions CEO] Tom [Loeffler] and Gennady’s managers and iron something out that’s beneficial, but understanding who is the A-fighter and who is the B-fighter. And I don’t think that’s gonna happen because I think Andre thinks more of himself than he really is at this moment. He’s a great fighter, but he’s not a draw.”
“We don’t need Andre Ward; Andre Ward needs Golovkin.”
Ward has only recently returned from the wilderness. He spent the better part of three years out of action due to managerial disputes and injuries, and in that same period Golovkin made his US debut and kicked on in monstrous form to score 10 consecutive knockouts.
K2 have made sure to parade the Kazakh on both US coasts as well as in Europe and the fervour to see his KO power has become international, ensuring his capacity to generate huge amounts of money. On the other side, Ward is a boxing connoisseur’s delight, but a nobody to a casual fan.
Sanchez foresees Ward coming to the negotiation table with all the demands in the world, a position reserved for the biggest bread-winner which in that particular pairing would be Golovkin. A key point there would surely be what weight to hold the bout at, and Ward would be a silly man indeed to follow the ill-trodden paths of so many others to concede and drop down, draining himself against such a big puncher.
His demeanour and overall response seem to indicate that Sanchez is sick of hearing about Andre Ward and a fight that for now only exists as a fantasy match-up. So am I, as their meeting would hardly be exciting as the next one on Golovkin’s calendar.

Golovkin is going to fight Ward, even though he doesn't need to move up in weight, but it's going to have to wait a bit. Golovkin has a unification bout with Lemieux next and he's mandatory to the WBC belt (Cotto vs Canelo winner). K2 has that in writing from the WBC. So it would be foolish to move up in weight now with a likely Canelo match one fight away. He's worked hard for so long just to finally get someone like Lemieux in the ring, so they aren't going to abandon all that when unifying all of 160 is so damn close. All Golovkin has wanted was a shot at the lineal crown and to fight other title holders, but for whatever reasons that just wasn't possible (Sergio Martinez wouldn't fight him, as well as title holders such as Felix Sturm, Peter Quillin, etc).
Like I said before, their plan is Lemieux and then Canelo. After that a Ward fight makes all the sense in the world, plus that will give time for Andre Ward to rebuild his name after being gone and inactive for so long. He just had a tune up against Paul Smith and appears to be having another tune up on the Cotto/Canelo undercard (which sets up a Golovkin fight beautifully). I'd say late 2016 GGG vs Ward at 168.
