Yeah, blowout. Huge gulf in class.

I really don't like Khan, but his heart, chin, perhaps both, are nowhere neae on the same plane as his ability.

Hey, NochNoch, You've got to think that due to Amir's rush to get out of the ring, that Morales would have landed a big overhand banger harder than Garcia would have. If nothing else, I think El Terrible has a chance to gain another (somewhat) important strap before he's done.

A perfect PPV would be Morales/JM Marquez just to show us what we missed 10 years ago

And even though Bradley stole a win without a doubt, Manny is on Steroids.

Even though I am all in favor of Olympic level testing being mandatory for any fight, I've never been convinced of either side of the Manny/steroids argument. There obviously has never been any proof, so that is all we have to go on but in no way would I be shocked if some ever came out.

Errol Spence is going to fight on TV tomorrow at 5, he's going to be a big name in
3-4 years at 147

Fighter from Japan drops a guy from Azerbaijan 4 times in the 3rd round, guy "slips" for a breal 3-4 timesreferee (from Turkmenistan) not once gives the mandatory 10 count to check the guys stability after a knock down. Guy cannot keep his feet for the last 2 minutes of the fight, and still wins.

What an embarrassment

We sure didn't show well in London. James Toney was probably drunk, but I'm willing to agree that he could have beat the **** out of anyone we sent over, Spence included.

I really couldn't care less. I love the Olympics and am pretty much as pro all things America as it gets in those types of events but I didn't even watch one round of Olympic boxing, and I'm a boxing junkie. It's hardly even the same sport as the professional version and most of the guys who could dominate in an amateur tournament have no interest in boxing for no money (and I don't really blame them).

Finally a weekend with a fight that I'm actually interested in seeing with Ward v Dawson on Saturday night. Not convinced it'll be the most exciting fight because neither of these two are known for it but at least it's intriguing with them meeting in the middle and both considered to be the best (mostly, in Dawson's case) in their respective classes.

Slightly disappointed that I'll miss two potentially good fights next Saturday night, but I'll slightly because I'm only missing them because I'll in Knoxville.

Almost forgot about this. Should a good one.

Fun watch. I watched Vitali massacre Carr this afternoon, I think the sorry heavyweight division takes away from how good the Klitschkos actually are.

[NochNoch]

Not their fault but the brothers are the perfect example of why there needs to be a Super Heavy division.

Ward's win was impressive and, by his standards, pretty entertaining. I don't love his style but he is damn good at what he does.

[Toujours Pret]

Next Saturday is goingto be outstanding
