dallas got stopped and then lost a split decision that was close and could have won.

He should be improving. He has virgil hunter training him (ward's sage trainer). if he can't box, sit down his punches more, and win tonight, then his career is in the shitter.

Yup, Dallas can't afford another loss. I'm not sure i'd like setting out in the Cal sun watching these fights.

it is embarrasing that they let a bout go on with these conditions. the ropes are not set up properly. And that sound is horrible. national tv.


ruining friday night fights for me.

I want is a couple of okay fights every friday, professional tessitore, wacky teddy, and not stupid ropes, grating sounds.

not too much to ask.

as for tomorrow night. It is supposed to be on Showtime. What the heck is Showtime going to do with Tarver He is supposed to be an analyst for the fight after being announced today that he tested positive!!!!

they have to pull him for tomorrow. they have to.

Ortiz is a big looking welter.

when he fought berto he weighed 161 pounds. when he fought floyd I think it was 165.

that is normal fighting weight for a junior middle, not a welter.

What a shitty ring! You'd think they would pay more attention to the details for a nationally televised fight.

it is at least 2 shows a season where you have to shake your head at the commissions not having a good setup for national tv.

anyone from outside the US? If so, would that happen? a small but nationally televised event with rings like spaghetti noodles and some sort of grating sound that reminds me of the beginning of once upon a time in the west.

always brings action. won't be boring next week.

I have nothing against bernard osuna. he is growing on me. But I still miss Brian Kenny in the studio. I understand Mr. Kenny got paid by MLB network, but everyone has something they were meant to do, and being the studio host for boxing is a talent that BK truly had.

And they can't afford decent sunshades either?
Geez... they could've just held it on the beach or something.

Tarver really blew it, but I doubt that Showtime will fire him over it.

I'm not advocating firing him over it. But to have him on air the night after he is reported to have tested positive for steroids might be a bit much.
