[killersheep]

It premieres in about an hour, I'm actually pretty excited about this fight.

[Diane]

I can't wait for this!!!!!!!

You know I'm excited as all hell!!

I've been trying not to think about the fight too much, because it's still a few weeks away, but I know that this will get me excited.

In more ways than one I'm sure.

Oh trust me, he would be, if we lived anywhere near each other.

And besides, I wouldn't need to watch Cotto to give him a wild ride.

[killersheep]

Cotto's new tattoos are badass.

'Heard it's the best 24/7 ever.

From who?

[The Congressman]

'Heard it's the best 24/7 ever.

From who?

Tim Starks, Brad Cooney, Arum...

So two hardly reknowned writers, I'd like to see the quotes, because last I saw Starks said the promo for 24/7 failed to excite. But really those are 2 guys whose opinions I'd trust no more than an average poster on here. Well, at least neither is Dan Rafael.

As for Arum, yes he's a completely impartial & reliable source

'Heard it's the best 24/7 ever.

You heard wrong one of the most boring 24/7 I have seen, I wish they would concentrate more about boxing on these shows, no disrespect to Cotto or Manny but there no Mayweather in terms on charisma and pure entertainment, when you have to quiet humble guys like these two they should concentrate more on the boxing aspect of it.


Seriously though worst episode I have seen for a long time.

I have to disagree with you on this one, and not because I'm a fan of Cotto's.

To be honest, I won't even watch the 24/7's with Mayweather in it, because I can't stand watching him acting like a complete tool. I don't find that entertaining, and that tells me nothing about him, other than he's a complete a$$shole, which I already knew.

Plus, this was just the first episode, did you really expect HBO to totally ignore the devastation surrounding Pac's training camp, or not touch on Cotto's issues over the last year? They have to tell the whole story, and I prefer to get to know two humble men, than get to know a spoiled, insecure, immature child.

I'm sure they'll focus more on the boxing in the following episodes, but they were doing what the series is supposed to accomplish, which is helping us fans get to know the fighters in the lives, by showing what they've been through in the past, and what they are doing now, that brings them to this point in their lives.

That, and to help promote the fight of course.

[generalbulldog]

The episode was a good one. I prefer to get to know the circumstances surrounding the fighters which this episode was about, from the devastation of Manny's homeland to how Cotto has been able to rebound from his loss to Margarito. Much more preferable to Mayweather bragging about, "My shit is paid for and your's aint."

[amat]

I remember them saying before the Margarito fight that Cotto being slow on the pads and stuff is actually intentional. He goes slow to make sure he has his form right and then ratchets it up from there. Kind of the same thing when you are working out and they tell you to slow it down and focus on form. He definitely didn't come out slow versus Margarito he was very crisp and precise.
