His hype for certain fighters lately has been so over the top its bizarre. I mean besides the ridiculous comments about Andy Lee, the Pavlik by the end of the year garbage, does anybody remember Octavio Lara?

Steward hyped him up more than probably any young prospect I can remember, you would think he was going to be the next Julio Cesar Chavez, in fact if I remember correctly he compared him to JCC. Would tell these bizarre stories about how when Lara was like 13 he knocked a pro fighter at Kronk out with one punch and from the way he talked the guy was the absolute next can't miss guy. Except he's like 7-2 with two losses to guys with a 2-2-2 record and a 7-5 record and he hasn't fought in like two years. I had forgotten about the guy but he was such big news for a while cause of Steward's ridiculous hype.

Just seems like he has serious judgement problems about young prospects these days.
