It's cool to take a tune up but why not take a fight that will bring a little something out of you? Don't these guys spar doing camp why do they have to have a glorified sparring match after camp?? Talk about being scared too lose. these two fights have to be some of the biggest mis-matches in quite some time. It's unapealing and not even worth watching. It does give the opponent a chance to win and the chance to say they fought so and so but in they end they end up getting embarrased wishing they never took the fight. DLH might let it go 12 rounds just to get the conditioning in but dlh could end this fight whenever he wants.
ref was trying to call the fight in the 3rd...hahaha...gomez's face was red as fuck after the 1st minute...we'll have to see the dlh-forbes fight to determine the answer

Cotto/Gomez is the worse mismatch. At least Forbes can box.
biggest mismatch is Tye Fields vs Anyone. Carlos Maussa has a better chance of beating Pavlik than Klitchko has of beating Tye Fields.
The over under on Tye's fights is how many swings.
Quoted for truth. Even Felix Sturm vs. a prime Tyson is less of a mismatch then Tye Fields vs. Klit.

If Gomez was a tune up fight..
Why not make it a 10 round non-title fight???
That fight was inexcusable..
You act like almost every Champion didnt do the same exact thing. Its when they do it more than once that it becomes a inexcusable.

The same two guys are fighting, so what's the difference?
Given that Cotto is at his absolute peak and that DLH is pretty far past his prime (not that he's anything but borderline great still though), and that at his best Two Pounds was a quality titleholder who never really lost his belt and at his best Gomez is a contender quality fighter, eh... Despite the size issues, I really think Cotto/Gomez was a bigger mismatch. I honestly think Forbes will only get decisioned.
Forbes is also a notoriously light puncher jumping up two weight classes from whats not even his best weight, just his natural weight at this time. It'd be like Cotto fighting a Lightweight contender at a catchweight of 145.
scared to lose? rofl @ that seeing that Cotto is fighting Margarito.
I was reffering as scared to lose the tune up bout. By the way how you been my friend? :kiss:
Cause u get paid for glorified sparring matches.
And I think COTTO-GOMEZ was the far bigger mismatch. I think Forbes might have a shot :D
at least gomez/cotto were the same size! DLH is going to look like he's beating up a bloated little kid that night.
