I think they should put Jim Lampley in a room with Teddy Atlas, alone, to discuss some of HBO's recent decisions. That would be guaranteed not to disappoint .

Only in America! That is the US.
I thought Chavez would steal an sd. I joked about him winning a ud. The 8/2 card is actually worse then Cj Ross's even card in the Floyd fight.
Lampley and HBO didn't feel all that sorry for Vera, despite their best efforts to convince us otherwise. Jim signed off with a shit eating grin on his face.
Hell yes, great post.
Better idea though, give Bryan Vera Chavez Jr. money. He fucking deserves it. Hes going to get fucked for this. He won't get re matched, he will just be an opponent again (which he is for the top tier), and Chavez will make 6 figures more than he should for a big fight because he'll be on some sort of "winning" streak going into fight with Ward/Froch/stevenson. That money should go to Vera because he won it tonight.
I can't believe Vera didn't win that fight. He outworked Chavez from the first bell to the last.
Vera will not get the credit he deserves, everybody will be saying he won because Chavez didn't train properly.
The judging was terrible, I'm beginning to think the judges shouldn't set ringside. Put them in separate booths away from the crowd.
Lou Motet had a real bad night, he was not calling fouls. Vera was hitting low all night--don't try to tell me I didn't see a bunch of illegal low blows by Vera--and he didn't call Chavez for pushing Vera with his left arm. It's called boxing not forearming, shouldering or elbowing.
The crap refereeing was making me wonder what the judges were seeing, the low blows or the forearming. I think they were seeing the low blows since Chavez was protesting every one.
I have a theory that judges, consciously or unconsciously, try to correct a judges bad refereeing with their scoring.
I could be wrong, maybe Chavez really did win that fight and my 57 years of watching fights was a waste of time because I didn't learn a damn thing.
some of the shots strayed low, but when Jr started crying like the bitch he is, he was getting hit right on the belt line, and Chavez kept complaining about headbutts and what not when he's the one that comes in hunched over leading with his head, either way when you're weighing 190 lbs against a guy who's a career long jr middleweight you lose all rights to complain about anything, Jr is as delusional as his fans, claiming he almost KO'd Vera at 3 points in the fight and that he had him finished in the 10th, he was nowhere close to winning the fight at any point including after the final bell rang
