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

[fan johnny]

BULLSHIT STOPPAGE !

Fucking Zaveck's corner stopped it way too soon. He had a bad cut, but soooo many fighters have continued on with much much worse cuts and swelling. Such as Carmen Basilio, Fernando Vargas, Ebo Elder, Erik Morales, etc.

It was a very exciting fight and quite competitive. Damn shame it ended that way.

I think it was a good stoppage. I though he could have continued but those cuts on both eye lids would have become way worse. They already made the purse for the fight and I think he was better than Berto on the inside. The only thing that gave Berto more rounds is he was more busy but not necessary more effective. I think Zaveck should get a rematch contract or not.

Wasn't his eye completely closed ?

Yep and the other on its way, blood in one too.

It wasn't THAT bad. Lets be real here.

Yeah it just was was it was.

Least the guy deserved was the "how many fingers am I holding up" before they pulled the plug.

His corner knew what they were there for and who buttered the bread

Yeah its one those cases where the heart and will and even skill was there, but the body just wasn't having it, in this case the dam eyelids. Zaveck definitely was landing the more telling punches and I feel like berto was going to get dropped at some point, berto would just flurry while zaveck would cover up and block most of the punches where as berto was getting caught flush much more often. Don't think zavecks getting a rematch, just like zbik didn't against chavez jr in what was a very close fight certainly deserving of a rematch, boxing politics.

Berto is not as good as I thought. He's classifies as a "B" level fighter. The "A" list will beat him every time.
It suppose to be . . .Berto vs Bailey next
Should be . . .Berto vs Zaveck
I wish is would be . . .Berto vs Bradley

Exactly.

They stabbed their fighter in the back. Zaveck wasn't there to just hand his belt over to Berto, too bad his corner was.
