This guy makes boxing look bad. "The real fight was last week"? Every fight is real and this fight was very entertaining. Maybe Merchant should stay awake during fights or shut his mouth.
And "the big favorite," Dawson lost me 24.5 million tonight.
You have toremember..dude has seen some fights that we could not imagine..Ali-Frazier, Hagler-Hearns, Duran-Leonard...you name it he is not going to let the HBO hype blind the truth...this guy has been in the boxing scene long before most of us were even born..he knows when things are changing for the sake of money and he knows when fighter aren't living up to their billing...dude has paid dues we, as fans, could not imagine.
That's all well and good, but at what point does it become counter productive? That's like an NFL color guy watching a Vikings game and saying that Adrian Peterson will never be as good as the great Jim Brown. What purpose does that really serve?
I agree with other comments, I just don't understand why Merchant has to be so damn negative. What purpose does it serve to have Merchant tell the audience after every fight that the fight sucked and so did the fighters? Is that really going to help keep the casual fan coming back for more??

i wanna merchant get koed by a boxer. it will happen someday, cause he's always talking ****.
I'd be the fan to ko the boxer with a glass bottle like I was protecting my elderly grandpa...lol
he just keepss it real
So every fight they show sucks and involves bum fighters? What is the point then? He lost all credibility with me when he was talking up Mosley's chances pre-fight against Floyd then when Floyd owned his @$$ he started saying Floyd had beaten a shot fighter. You can't have it both ways.

Dawson landed two blatant low blows in that eight round after he was hurt. Real similar to Cotto with Zab. And you knew Merchant commentating a Dawson fight was like mixing gun powder with gasoline. Lol.
:nonono::nonono::nonono::nonono:
Dawson was such a arse in the post interview.."he was headbutting the whole night"..bloody liar....Why didnt he mention all the low blows he himself delivered and didnt get a single point deducted? In my opinion he shoulda lost a point or two tonight ...ass...Bute will finish what's left of Dawson's self esteem :D

I enjoyed tonight's fight, outside of Chad pissing me off...
I know what you mean. I scared my dogs into barking at one point cause I yelled at him... He really upset me by doing nothing when he hurt him.
