This is a good round

 

what a fucking round

 

"RAGING BULL!!!!" exclaims Lampley

fucking idiot

 

Cavalleria Rusticana!!!!issed:

 

That really picked up at the end. Exciting finish.

 

Andre Ward could use Chavez as a tune-up

 

I like Rubio, tough classsy, little gatekeeper

 

who winned?

 

we just watched a Cruiserweight and a Light Heavyweight battle for a shambolic middleweight world championship

 

Chavez jr is better than I thought. He has been carefully matched up. He looked much bigger then Rubio. I wonder how heavy he is. I bet he's at least 180 plus.

 

a clue: not Rubio

 

Chavrz stamina improved. Still sad he couldnt ko a guy so smaller than him.

Chavez vs Dawson. Theres a fair fight.

Funny how theyre systematically dismantling ledermans credibility by asking him to give commentary on crooked judges.

 

Ok Rubio played well his part: made Chavez Jr look good. NOW...Sulaiman, Arum: no more excuses...put your guy against Martinez.

 

:atu::atu::atu:

Lets hope Jantuah doesn't show up to any of the parties he is working security at, or fuckers will be streaming in the open gate as scRubio cops some Z's on the sidewalk.

 

Shambolic. ::

 

Merchant comparing Jr to Sr

 

He volunteers opinion on judges of his own free volition to youtube enthusiasts, and volunteered opinion on judges just before the cards were called out for the Peterson vs Khan fight. He's made his own bed.

 

sergio martinez what a liar.

 

Sr does that all the time, and invariably winds up whipping his wifes ass everytime he reaches the inevitable conclusion

 

:mj: "Sanctioning Bodies-- They're good for the sport!"

 

Jr showing balls by calling out Martinez. Will Arum & Sulaiman grow a pair too?

 

Juniors balls and Arums lack of balls are related concepts.

 

I assumed he was asked to do that, but possibly not. Didnt he endorse the judge who scored that fight for vazquez over donaire? ::

 

I don't know if you guys have been to the amateurs. Once I saw this fat piece of shit Mexican 8 year old. His disgusting obese parents had a brood of offspring(yeah world). Anyhow, these peasants,to my surprise,ordered this piece of shit fatty kid into the ring. HE AND some other kid beat the shit out of each other. The kid went back to his parents and was given an ice cream. The kid must have been fighting since he was 2. The kid literally thought nothing of the fight.

Chavez is at home in the ring. He trained two minutes for this fight and went 12 rounds easy. He is just so relaxed. RUBIO IS RUBIO, but Chavez went 12 rounds and didn't even huff.

 

You say that, but this newfound stamina is um, new. He's shown suspect stamina in past fights.

 

THIS!!!...

The FACT is, in Nearly 50 Fights, THE BEST Guy Chavez Jr. has EVER Faced is Marco Antonio Rubioointlaugh:...Allow that to MARINATE for a Moment...If the Various Networks Hadn't FORCEFULLY Spoonfed Boxing Fans w/LARGE Doses of Chavez Jr. Fights, this Wouldn't Be Such a Big Deal to REED...

The Bottom Line is, Canelo Alvarez (Who's Admittedly "Protected" & "Hyped" Himself) is YOUNGER & has Fought SUPERIOR Opposition...



REED:cheer:

 

REED'll Definitely Insinuate that Verbal Gem into the Ol' Vocab, Somwhere Down the Line....




REED:clapagain:

 

If Junior were to fight Cotto, that would prove him as a great fighter.

 

I hate to admit it, but Chavez is way better than I ever thought he'd be.

I will still cheer loudly for him to lose every fight.

 

He's way better than utter shit? Whats that? Shit? Its like saying a pair of fours is better than a pair of two's ::

To reiterate most of what people have already said......I couldn't care two whits about his ability, which I rate as basic, average...its the hype and the shit that goes with him that annoys me, hype that a guy who is managed and careered into fights with either much smaller or damaged guys should not be getting. He still does not appear to have developed a big punch and is basically relying on a size advantage which makes a mockery of anything anyone has to say about the Klitschkos. The guy is taller, longer, and up to a stone heavier by fight night. I don't know what the Zbik difference was but it looked 12lbs or so to me. Its the same MO every time, hustle, bustle, wear them down, club the smaller man down.

He's basically a light-heavy by fight night and he still can't really stop guys. Manfredo? Please. Manfredo gets stopped like an inner-city bus at this stage of his career :: If Petey keeps it up he will be at Roy Jones level next.

Boxnation put it in perspective when they made a list of EVERY WBC Middlweight Champ there has been. Chavez Jr's name stuck out like a sorte thumb.
