I've been to see fights there before. Good place, no bad seats, at that time, at least.

I do not know what to makes of Banks but I do not like Tarver. @Max Power thinks heavyweights are the best they have ever been!

I guess your referring to the fact an aged former cruiser Tarver and part time boxer/trainer Banks are a hot topic today is some kind of proof of superiority.

But a win over 50 year old veteran Archie Moore who regularly boxed several classes below HW is testament to a more superior era? I think not!

Seems like Trout is fighting a gimme here, didn't think he looked very good in his last fight, was in a bad way for a bit when getting dropped. Like his style but not sure he can quite hack it at top level.

Tarver-Banks has awful cagey stinkfest written all over it imo, still probably be watching though :D

Terrell Gausha showing some defensive lapses, pose-punch-pose.

Gusha a is going to KO Vila as soon as Vila runs out of gas.
1-0 Vila

5-1 Gusha

It's good to hear Teddy's voice. Doesn't take long to get tired of his voice though.

Been waiting but that was a nice little combo finish!

Tyson Cave ??? Seems he wishes he was Hamed a bit.

Teddy just called him out on receding hair line :-X

Cave is a fighter I'd love to see stretched out. He's a little too cute for me.
