The Juanma-Medina fight was ridiculous though. I know he knocks everyone out first round, but Medina looked like he just wanted to go home. There was a fuckin world title at stake! Bob Arum better not just stick in a national champion next time for Juanma, although Arum bein da c**t he is, that's probably exactly what he'l do
To be fair though, Medina had given Rey Bautista a hell of a fight. He's looked very good in the past.
Yeah to be honest I think I just wanted to vent at Arum, did anyone else want to smash his face in the other night when he told Pac to thank Larry Merchant? Or was that just me? :confused:

I did as well, but I would hope it would have enough follow through to knock Merchant out as well...
Re: Worst undercard ever?
The Lopez-Medina fight was a joke. Medina probably researched the fine points in phantom punches very well. I actually heard Lampley(?) quipped, something like, "it'll be the last we'll see of Medina in a pay-per-view", then not content with what he just uttered, upgraded it to not only PPV, but to HBO.
Funny stuff, all the while Emanuel Steward reminding audiences that fighters from Argentina have a long history of fierce fighters! Sad. Pathetic attempt at international diplomacy. Nothing against Argentina, for sure, my comment is for Steward's. ....He should've just let it slide.
Re: Worst undercard ever?
It happens alot....I dont know if it is a sad attempt at international diplomacy as much as announcers using broad hype/stereotypes.Its the same as them saying fighters from Mexico are huge body punchers and don't box much... or ...some Europeon fighters are stand straight up and prone to cuts.Undercards are becoming frail.
