Jan Zaveck vs. Andre Berto fight thread - on HBO tonight

[armin]

Max is all over russels nuts, he's honestly not all that impressive. Hitting a lot of air with those punches, reminds me of devon alexander in that sense, garcia would take him out. Dude in front of him took the fight on short notice, relatively slow and still taggin him here n there, meh I guess they're gonna shove him down our throats one way or the other.

I think he';s got alot of potential... hes clearly got thing to work on thought.

Needs to realize he's not got great power, so just standing in the pocket isn't going to work for him stepping up. If he starts moving more and utilizing his speed I think he'd look alot more impressive.

Oh no question he's got potential and obviously he's young and has plenty of room for improvement, I just hate how hbo jumps on a decent prospects nuts like he's the next coming of robinson. He's a good prospect but just now they threw out the words "elite level skill" fuck of max.

Meh....Jones is trying to hard as usual.

Wonder how well Russell knows Berto

Anyone else notice how Ledderman mentioned the major fights the judges had worked except the one who scored the fight where Roy was KO'd by Johnson?

I've not had HBO on so I didnt hear that, pretty stupid, a top prospect is what he is nothing more. Theres too much pressure for them to step up too soon, everyone looking for the next superstar without giving them time to develop.

My take on the main:

Zaveck has a 20% chance of winning a decision.

Zaveck has a 60% chance of getting fucked on the scorecards.

There's a !00% chance that HBO will be all over Berto's nuts.

And an 80% chance that Berto will win an unpopular decision.

Am I the only person who thought Hopkins - Pascal II was a really close fight?

I do feel it was closer a win for hop than the first meeting would have been without the kds.

I watched it after I knew the results and had listened to everyone heap praise on Hopkins, so I expected it to be a lot less competitive. I believe I actually had Pascal winning by a point or two when I scored it.
