    didnt he just retire? i liked his analysis
    I always liked him because his interviews were filled with unpredictable unintentional comedy from a pure perspective of a train wreck. There also was a slight chance that one of the boxers he was insulting in post-fight interview could pop his head into the tenth row with a quick uppercut at any moment.

    Thats awesome. "The Problem" is a great boxer. If that guy keeps going the way he's going, we will be talking about him being the best pound for pound in the world very soon.

    Bummer that the Seth Mitchell fight on the undercard got cancelled.

    Yeah, I would have liked to see that big ass dude fight. Great night though. Boardwalk Hall is a cool spot for a fight. Broner is awesome. Rees did what he could and had the crowd behind him for a little while. So hungover

    Broner vs Malignaggi? Seems like a huge jump for Broner and too risky. Would probably win, but I don't know about jumping two weight classes at this point

    Yeah, real good. Next big thing. Other guy is from Brooklyn, older, good career, but a lot bigger.

    Both are some serious shit talkers though, so that would be fun.

    Really!?! Hadn't heard that. That is a HUGE jump for Broner in size. I still think he will crush Pauli though. Broner is essentially a young Floyd only with power and a heart.

    Not definite. I hear you and agree, just a risky jump.

    Hopkins looking fucking good

    I hate B-Hop. Really disappointed in Cloud. That kid has potential but I don't think he has the brains to go with the body. Thurman looked good too. Lampley and Kellerman talking about a potential Thurman/Broner fight down the road...which could be awesome!

    I'd like to know who Bradley has incriminating photos of because he's lost his last 2 fights yet somehow the judges keep giving it to him. I'll give him credit, the guy has a HUGE heart and a steel chin but he lost to Manny and he lost to Ivan Drago tonight.

    Drago :lol:

    i didn't see the Pacio fight, but i thought he won tonight. he was rocked a few times, but outside of the first couple of rounds and the last one, Bradly won most of the rounds IMO

    i was actually more supriesed by the undercard. i heard 97-92 while in the bathroom and just about feel over

    It was an incredible fight. Very close, but I had Ivan Drago winning by a point. Bradley's jaw must be made of iron. He was out on his feet two or three times and not only was he still standing, he was still throwing. I like the kid, but I think he's lost his last 2 fights.

    i think it was the first round when he was up agaist the ropes after being rocked....he was doing an awesome job of dodging shots from teh russian. russian had to have whiffed on 6 straight bombs...

    i don't watch a ton of boxing, but that was one of the most entertaining fights i've ever seen. you just don't see the toe to toe slug fest very often. it was a regular rock em sock em robot fight
