Does the surname Miranda magically translate into punching power somehow?
The worst do I can remember.Quote:

Does everyone else hate self imposed sound effects?
I am officially tired of hearing Roy :rolleyes:
Russell is real tense...thinking too much. Guys get dropped by unknown power hitting imports like that :-X
Please tell me you're joking? :dontknow:Quote:

I still wonder about Russells Jr's power
....damn russels hands are pretty fast. He doesn't hit much. But fast either way
I'm starting to wonder about his fighter immagination...and mobilityQuote:

Guessing/hoping its over confidence that he can stand there and not have to do much more. Not really a clever thing to do but arrogance is arrogance??Quote:

I hated tarver ....but he's pretty good behind the mic as well
Nice hands. He should work on foot work, big time! Volume could use a shot of juju too
Definitely.Quote:

Max is all over russels nuts, he's honestly not all that impressive. Hitting a lot of air with those punches, reminds me of devon alexander in that sense, garcia would take him out. Dude in front of him took the fight on short notice, relatively slow and still taggin him here n there, meh I guess they're gonna shove him down our throats one way or the other.

Did you not see the Martinez/Dzinziruk fight? It was unbearable during that fight. It ruined the fight for me actually.Quote:

Miranda is game, but he has no chance of winning this fight.
I may be wayyy off. But Russell looks like he's stamina concious and just doing enough to get by...wheres the sustained explosion with a guy he can tee off on ???
I only saw the last couple of rounds of that fight.Quote:

Needs to realize he's not got great power, so just standing in the pocket isn't going to work for him stepping up. If he starts moving more and utilizing his speed I think he'd look alot more impressive.
If he's just coasting for the sake of coasting it's a bad move. It's about time he stepped up to dominate guys and make some kind of statement. I dont want another Chad dawsonQuote:

When an opponents corner instructions are..."Get out...dont get hit...step to the side" its your duty to end the show on HBO.
Russell needs more ESPN shows...or a recorded sparring session. But he ain't ready for this much HBO grooming and pillow biting on his stuff.
Oh no question he's got potential and obviously he's young and has plenty of room for improvement, I just hate how hbo jumps on a decent prospects nuts like he's the next coming of robinson. He's a good prospect but just now they threw out the words "elite level skill" fuck of max.Quote:

Also these sort of match ups belong on fnf undercards
Anyone else notice how Ledderman mentioned the major fights the judges had worked except the one who scored the fight where Roy was KO'd by Johnson?
Your right. He really seemed to just be watching the clock. I'm not sure if I blame the network more. Really.Quote:

I've not had HBO on so I didnt hear that, pretty stupid, a top prospect is what he is nothing more. Theres too much pressure for them to step up too soon, everyone looking for the next superstar without giving them time to develop.
My take on the main:
Zaveck has a 20% chance of winning a decision.
Zaveck has a 60% chance of getting fucked on the scorecards.
There's a !00% chance that HBO will be all over Berto's nuts.
And an 80% chance that Berto will win an unpopular decision.
Am I the only person who thought Hopkins - Pascal II was a really close fight?
I do feel it was closer a win for hop than the first meeting would have been without the kds.Quote:
