Merchant was very animated during Pavlik-Miranda. Sure, it could've been the excitment of the fight, but his speech was somewhat clear, and he didn't take 30-seconds pauses between each sentence. Has he been curtailing his drinking?
I think it was because it was such a good first fight. I mean,they just finished doing Mayweather-DLH two weeks before,so anything else is better::
Yeah, Pavlik-Miranda was exactly the kind of fight Merchant likes. He did "boo" the main event, though.
