I've been to see fights there before. Good place, no bad seats, at that time, at least.

I do not know what to makes of Banks but I do not like Tarver. @Max Power thinks heavyweights are the best they have ever been!

I guess your referring to the fact an aged former cruiser Tarver and part time boxer/trainer Banks are a hot topic today is some kind of proof of superiority.

But a win over 50 year old veteran Archie Moore who regularly boxed several classes below HW is testament to a more superior era? I think not!

Been waiting but that was a nice little combo finish!

Tyson Cave Seems he wishes he was Hamed a bit.

Teddy just called him out on receding hair line

Teddy also said he reminded him of Hamed.

Gusha is decent and nice finish at the end.
Tyson Cave was robbed. That was a robbery.

Watching Trout now.

[Spicoli]

Not big on Cave. Fights like a guy who is reading a upside down Chinese menu and insists its Shakespeare.

[beenKOed]

Right now I don't care who wins, just let it be over.

[beenKOed]

Teddy is blowing a gasket!

The Cave vs Escandon fight reminds me of the Bey vs Vasquez fight.
Vasquez and Cave both have styles that are hard to watch with a lot of movement and deep aversions to being in any type of face to face throw down.
It's like judges are attempting to eliminate fighters they think are not fan friendly. Evolving the sport with judging sounds outrageous, right?Maybe the judges were simply bored out of their minds and were fighting back the the only way they could, after all what would you think if you saw the judges booing?! Lol
Seriously, the Vasquez vs Bey decision was controversial but I didn't have a problem with it.
The Cave vs Escandon decision was terrible. Cave was doing whatever he wanted, for most of the fight, and Escandon didn't have an answer for anything.
