While i enjoyed the RJJ-CAL 24/7, it didn't pump me up for the fight at al. it was an entertaining show, but i wasnt any more or less excited for the fight then i was before hand.
But this series is REALLY pumping me up for the fight.
To be honest, I'm burnt out on these 24/7 shows. Fighters are having to act goofy and crazy just to stand out. I don't go out of my way to watch any of them anymore. Roy-Calzaghe was the absolute worst.
I don't think there's been any worth watching since Mayweather-Hatton. It's just lost its appeal after seeing the same shit over and over.
The fact that dela Hoya's starting to appear like the bad guy for a change, would make anyone interested I guess.
Pacquiao's sleeping in a cramped apartment with his ornery wife watching his every move...wakes up to do spartan training with a stuttering boxing coach suffering from Parkinson's disease, while dela Hoya trains in his secluded big-bear lodge where he does mitts with daniel zaragoza under the watchful eye of dundee and beristain. Like watching Rocky and Ivan Drago training.
