He doesn't have a terrible chin. Did you even see him go down? He got hit on the top of the head, on the temple. Not exactly the chin. Boone is a game guy and probably the best guy he's faced. Boone just beat James Johnson, the highly regarded Floridian fighter.

Besides, he was like 5 fights in. De La Hoya was knocked down a couple times before he reached 15 fights. He didn't turn out so bad. He's a guy in development stages who has improved more then any other prospect in boxing imo. And now he's starting to amp the competition. His last fight was supposed to be against some 20 win vet but he pulled out days before. He's developing very nicely and is completely focused on the goal at task without being to near sighted.

I can not understand how you can hate him. He's one of the most likable guys out there, impossible to root against. And he has looked so much better since the layoff and taking a break from the TV publicity.

And just wondering, what part of SF you from?
