For all the action and reactions to a fight that they should really bill as "The Set Up" while at least two of the judges already have their 120-108, and 119-109 scorecards in hand for Chavez Jr. They will probably get Laurence Cole to ref. "Hey Peter, stop hitting him in the face like that!. Next time it's a point!" for this. Whether deserved or not, on paper, knowing Chavez' Jr and his favoritism with the WBC can we expect maybe a 5% chance of justice for Manfredo? This is the thread to find out! Keep all comments in this thread! In the meantime, we could ummmm, guess at the kind and type of bullshit that may be pulled during this fight.
Think Gale Van Hoy's 118-110 Diaz card against Malinaggi, in a fight that should have been no more than a draw to a two-point win for either boxer. This is the bad omen, for which we must prepare. I hope the HBO crew let's on for any uneducated viewers the near impossibility of Manfredo winning a decision here. Jack |

QUOTE I feel like all of the announcers are told by the hbo producers to blow smoke up the cashcow's ass. Very true at HBO. I think less true with Merchant. I think Lamply is the worst at cheerleading. However, when a fight is thrilling to watch, he is the best commentator. Kudos to Jim for at least trying to make ordinary fights sound exciting, but his epitaph is likely to read, "I never met an HBO and/or Olympian contracted fighter I wasn't forced to like." The question is, who is forcing the pom-poming of the HBO team? Jack |
