Hehehehe @ total Slingblade, I like Atlas most of the time, just not as a trainer.

Manny Steward in the house.

He's much better then Bernardo in the studio, I saw him calling fights for top rank last Saturday. He used to give Floyd a lot of shit, which I really enjoyed. ;)

Noe will get the upset.

Jeff Lacy Alright its fight time!

Do you know how many children you could make happy by melting all those worthless trinkets down into Chucky cheese tokens :mad:

round 1 Stevenson. Gonzalez didn't throw any punches that round.

what the fuck?

You stopped it. Really!

huh, well...............that was pretty pathetic of a stoppage.

Well hell, now we've got 45 minutes to go before Lara vs. Hearns starts on Showtime.

Ohh my. Good punches but that ref just froze and second guessed himself big time...bad stoppage. Rule him down along ropes if anything ???

Rubbish stoppage. Bullshit decision.

Boxing meanders along like a limping dog that knows death is impending.

didn't ropes hold Gonzalez up there? Should have been a count.

Shitty ref.

If I didn't know that this fight was in Canada, I might have thought this fight was in Texas. :p

Bad stoppage.

I absolutely HATE it when a ref looks so unsure of himself. Geez... get some experienced refs in there, for crying out loud.

Yes, he should have said ropes held him up and ruled a knockdown. Or if he thought ropes didn't hold him up, it should have gone for another few seconds.

Ref and judges. None of them are worth a damn anymore.

Does anyone but me think Stevenson looks huge for a super-middleweight?

and it is for medium to big fights!

I know Stevenson isn't a star, but he is a fighter on the way up, decent crowd, FNF. Not a club show with 200 fans.

Or Rios-in Vegas.

Or Campillo Cloud.

Fucking fights on FNF, Showtime, and PPv.

Totally with that. Personally its cases like this that make me miss the old standing 8 count.

Mares vs Morel...hey honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Mares land 101 low blows on a Morel, for different reasons :-X

Quebec is like the Texas of Canada, that whole lone fleur de lis province thing.

anyone have a good stream for the Showtime card? I've got this stupid West Coast non-live Showtime channel.

Hey... there they were, interviewing Abril about getting robbed last week against Rios. Hell, even the networks recognize a highway robbery when they see one. If Rios was honorable, he'd publicly renounce his bogus victory and declare Abril the rightful winner.

While i'll agree that the Texas boxing commission, ref, judges, et al, need an overhaul, I don't agree with a lot of the other criticism the State gets. I've lived all over the U.S. and I can honestly say this, there are far worse places to live than Texas, and living here has worked well for me.

Looking forward to El Clasico tomorrow, especially if they meet up again for the UCL Final.

No need to defend Texas, bro. It's a cool place and needs no defending. It's the boxing commission there that sucks. Also, I can't stand the Dallas Cowboys (I only like the cheerleaders), but other than that..........

;D

I know.

;D

I don't know what came over me.
Punch drunk from so many bad decision and lousy reffing, I guess.

of course the 8-0 Canadian doesn't lose.

57-57, lol a draw. Judges screwed over the "opponent"
