How is Diaz doing any way ?Quote:

Last I heard he was recovering, and has gotten most of his motor skills back. Doctors were very optimistic about a full recovery. That was scary he was in a coma for what? 2-3 months.Quote:

I seen Delvin last Saturday at a fight card and he looked a bit ill....Kind of drained
He'd pretty tall for a Welter isn't he? he's over 6 foot if I'm not mistaken, and he doesn't have that ultra thin frame like Paul Williams, I wonder if his body is telling him to move up to 154. Or maybe I'm just reading too far into it. Did he look sick? or just light?Quote:

Think your right he is abt 6 ft...
Then again it is the first time I ever seen him in person so maybe that is how he looks....People always look different on TV then in person
Arnaoutis is a sausage farmer.
:banana:
Fight could go either way but I'll back Arnaoutis in this one.
Personally I would like to see Mighty Mike win this one...He has had a rough time of it lately....I know he has had some promotion and managerial problems the last few years so hopefully it is the reason he has had such a rough time in the ring....I know he is a better fighter then Coleman or Ortiz so lets root for the hurtle to be jumped and Mighty Mike march towards a title shot
I see this as a toss up, neither guy is particulary special. But both will make for a decent fight i think.
Both fighters weighed in at 146 1/4 pounds.
Really looking forward to this one.Have come to like Rodriguez but he has been in some tough ones as of late, taking hits.Think mighty Mike may be too sharp and in form for him.
Any word on undercard?
Well I guess I'll be the one to go out on a limb and say that Rodriguez is way too big for Mike, he still has a real welterweight punch, and he should put the Greek to bed inside of eight...
I'm thinking Demetrius Andrade vs. Tomato Can #10 and maybeQuote:

Playing Holyfield/Bowe II right now 26 minutes til FNF.
I have never seen any of the Holyfield - Bowe fights. I have all of them downloaded, but I've never gotten around to watching them. Absurd, I know.Quote:

Hopefully Atlanta fades in the 3rd quarter so I can keep my attention undivided.
I don't have either of those two stations. They cost extra here in Canada.Quote:

andrade probably already won during the commercial.
2 flipping minutes on air and Teddy aka this guy >:bucktooth:< is on with kitchen and pizza talk metaphors :vd:
Greg thats pretty exact ha.Andrade needs a live body and Green needs to just fight.Good to see em
I love Teddy's metaphors.Quote:

Comparing Andrade's level of competition to Rigondeaux's (sp?) is ridiculous.
Geeeezzzzzussss teddy give it a rest. This kid is 22 years old his freaking voice even still cracks, besides if andrade fought anyone better we'd have nothing to watch on here. For nine wins and not even winning in the olympics (scoring bad yea yea, the guy who did win gold managed to do ok) bums is what this guy needs. He's really not all that great yet. Either way spending the whole fight talking about it ain't gonna change his mind.
Andrade trying to hard to look like something hes not yet...a star.Just fight and do what your suppose to do.
I agree. He's still got some flaws he needs to work on and, like you say, he's just a kid. He's still filling into his frame and I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up fighting a couple of divisions higher when he's done growing.Quote:

I think the model for bringing a fighter up slowly but smartly is the one the Goosens and Virgil Hunter lai out for Andre Ward. They matched him almost exclusively with at least capable guys who Andre could learn something against. He may have had to trea in some tough waters early and may have been written way prematurely by those who saw him rocked and knocked down early in his career but at least he was facing resistance. Another thing they did was they didn't schedule his career around TV, he was off TV for a really long time which was good for him. When you see a guy beating up bums like Andrade on ESPN2 all the time, what good is it doing? None at all really.
This isn't much beyond a glorified sparring session. The outcome is not in doubt.Quote:

This thing is going six, and it should, he's going to learn tons from this. And stop comparing him to gamboa....whole different animal all together..
