Stumbled back into this rematch simply for the entire HBO retro rebroadcast pre and post fight. As well as a guy in Starling who really seemed to be screwed over in the big picture when looking back. They said it perfectly with 'self made man' and Champ vs a young man in Breland who was stroked, steered and riding that tireless Olympic hype train of "the next". To the point that Breland was actually the favorite here after being knocked out by Starling. Starling may have been a bit before his time with style and self promotion.The road got twisted for Starling in his next fight with Molinares (notice how they just disappeared him ??) with a clear-cut case of the WBA being crooked and making sure "the right guy" eventually got their strap. Very interesting time at 147 and how it all played out. And in case it hasn't been said enough...God we/boxing misses HBO
