I thought it was a decent episode, but mainly because of Mosley. I've seen him in the ring a lot, but I don't really know anything about him as a person outside so on that basis I enjoyed it. The Floyd stuff I can take it or leave it because you pretty much know what you are going to get with him and his antics don't interest me all that much. He's been in too many of these programmes. I'm probably going to be accused of the terrible sin of hating after saying that. The label 'hater' is so gay.
Agreed. I really like the fact that Mosley is able to share the spotlight in one of these. He comes across as very likeable to me.Quote:

I wish it would have happened a few years earlier but still cmon Shane knock Mayweather arse out!!
A big improvement. I thought the Mayweather/Marquez one was alright, but the problem was the fight was a hard sell to boxing fans. This is the best since Mayweather/Hatton already. I think the Pacquiao/Hatton could have been good, but was let down by over-focusing on the trainers.
Mayweather had some great lines in that.
"Shane says I just fight for money... DUH! I'm supposed to, I'm a prizefighter, I need my prize"
Mosley was good, but as someone who used to worship the guy I was a little disappointed he again didn't really deal with the PED allegations enough. Fight Camp 360 is a bit more preferable in that it actually shows you the fights and the reactions throughout though.
Good post, been looking for this.
Cheers
;D
Good post, the "gerri curl...hot tub time machine" part was hilarious!!!
I think the main reason I'm enjoying this is that it's a fight I'm really hyped for. Mayweather Marquez and Jones Calzaghe were not interesting really as we all knew in advance who would win.Quote:

I laughed out loud when Floyd was ribbing Mosely for dressing like a leprechaun, and seeing his daddy all pimped up in suit was hysterical too.
I think of Uncle Roger and Floyd senior as being almost comic creations like Zelenoff and Kid Thunder, they are just hilarious to me.:D
Not too bad I enjoyed it. Shane is such a genuine nice fella I don't know how you can root againsed him unless you just support unbeaten wankers.
Floyd shouting like Ali.........epic fail:p
So it's Rocky vs Apollo?
Floyd came out with some good lines, especially the - "i'm a prizefighter so need a prize, you fucking dummy"
Floyd took over 5 hours to take a piss? No wonder Pac fucked off the tests. Those drug guys must be on good dough
Yeah Floyd did have some good one liners. I had to laugh a few times. But I'm still going for Mosley.Quote:

Why does Floyd need seven bodyguards when he's in the gym? I hope that's just for the cameras.
One thing that struck me as very suspicious was when Shane was talking about the USADA style testing about 2/3 through the episode. He seemed very lethargic and was unable to put his words together fluently.
