The truth is that this has probably been done only for people to think that Floyd isn't focused; they will buy the fight to see him lose.
Either that, or whoever is managing his social media accounts just got fired. I very much doubt that it's Floyd himself posting any of this.
I apologize if this was already answered, but still... Is there going to be no All Access or 24/7 episodes for this fight? I heard something about them recording a documentary instead, does anyone knows when it airs?
Yes, it is a shame that Zaveck's corner has ended the fight. Zaveck was clearly up for another round as he said, but the corner has called it over.
However, it has to be said, that it was a headbut which has caused a major damage under Zaveck's right eye. Even after the corner has "finished" his work from the fifth round, Zaveck could not see anything through his right eye. It is true that Zaveck's cutman does not have a clue about what he is doing, but the damage was pretty bad. Zaveck would of risked a lot, if he has continued.
However, i still think that he would have a chance, if he would of survived the sixth round without anymore damage being caused to his face. Zaveck is a mature and big hearted fighter, who knows what he is doing. Anyway, nobody is to blame there, it was an unfortunate event, which has caused this fight to result in a TKO. We could see a very interesting fight, if there would be no headbut.
he aint no bradley so shouldnt make a big case out of it
He has already said, that he is not going to make any kind of a scene about it. He is a fair and big hearted fighter, so he will take it as a man, i guess.
However, this is why he would deserve at least another chance, if not a rematch. This fight would of never ended like that, if it was not for a headbut. It was probably accidental, but i can see Zaveck winning this fight, if it would of not happened.
I believe that Zaveck came out of this fight even stronger than he was before, becouse everyone saw, that he could cope with Berto easily. It was his plan to open up in the second half of the fight and frankly, i doubt that Berto would of survive it - it was obvious, that he was tiring out himself very quickly.
berto was winning anyways stop whinning
zaveck didnt do ****, he had a few moments here n there but overall berto was in control
Firstly, i realy doubt that Berto was winning the fight, as you say. You might want to take a look at some of the punch statistics, if you think the opposite.
Secondly, it was Zaveck's plan, to open up in the second half of the fight. He was getting better and better by every round and frankly, he would be stupid if he just started to brawl in the first round already. He was boxing very smart, but unfortunately, maybe it would of ended better, if he did not. Anyway, nobody could see a headbut like this coming, in this fight.
Everyone can have their opinion of course and i respect every single one of them, but it is not fair how some of you guys are trying to look it as if Zaveck had no chance - far from it, he has shown that he can cope with Berto with ease.
even if it does, who cares?
A lot of us, do.
And yeah, to be perfectly honest, i doubt that the rematch will happen. However, i know that Zaveck would of not said it as seriously as he did, if it would not be planned up already. I will believe it when it will be signed, but there defenetly is something going on about it.
If the - probably accidental - headbut would not happen, Zaveck would have this fight in the next three or four rounds. I have nothing against Berto, but frankly, if this is the best that he can do, he should of never returned into boxing.
I realy hope, that Zaveck gets a rematch in the future - even though, realistically, i doubt it. If not, i at least hope for another chance for Zaveck, becouse everyone who knows anything about boxing, saw that he was a better figther in this fight. It was his plan to open up in the second half of the fight and i realy think, that this fight would of gone to him.
Zaveck, did not deserve this. It was him who wanted Berto and not the opposite, in case anyone thinks so. It was him who came all the way from Slovenia to prove himself and he has done it. However, this is the sport - anything can happen.
Nobody is saying that Zaveck was not cut already, before the headbut. It is obvious that Berto has done some damage, aswell as Zaveck did - Berto was cut over one of his eyes aswell and it was visible very well, at the end of the fight.
However, that little cut was not a problem. The problem was a hematoma, which was messed up by a headbut. Captures in the slow motion clearly shows, that Berto has run into Zaveck's right cheek and he did it hard. Nobody is saying that it was intentional, but it happened and this is a fact.
I have no idea how referee has failed to see it, becouse he was as close as he could be. He was watching Zaveck directly in the face when it happened and it was obvious that Zavec felt a big pain, when it happened. Blood has started running down his eye at this time, aswell.
And yeah, Zaveck is not and will not be talking about it. He is a fair and big hearted guy, who did not come in the USA to cause drama. He came to prove himself and in my opinion, he has done it. However, if not a rematch, another chance against a decent fighter in the USA, would be what he deserves. This match should of not end like that and everyone who knows shizzle about boxing, knows that.
It was Zaveck's plan to open up in the later rounds and it was obvious, that by every round, he was getting more dominant. Berto's footwork aswell as defence, are nowhere near Zaveck's level.

it was a damn good fight but i get tired of people making excuses all the damn time..Berto won a hard fought fight
Nobody is making excuses. Who would say that Berto was no danger for Zaveck at all, is an idiot. However, the facts are speaking for itself.
Yes, it was a great fight and it would of been even better, if the headbut would of not happened. Yes, Berto has won the fight, but if you do not see what kind of damage has his accidental headbut, which was a consequence of his wobbly legs done, then you are not trying to be objective in the slightest.
You have to admit, Zaveck would of not been even close to as bloody as he was, if the headbut did not happen. His hematome was as messed up, as if a bloody truck would of drove over his face. But then again, Zaveck could of done much better with a better cutman and corner in the general.
How stupid must you be, to deny that Berto has headbutted Zaveck? It has been proven that this is what has opened Zaveck's hematoma, so shut the hell up, if you know shizz about boxing.
There are .gif and even normal pictures, proving that Berto has clashed in Zaveck's right cheek just bellow the eye. From that moment on, Zaveck was done.
Nobody is saying that it was intentional, but still. This fight has ended unfairly - for Zaveck and for us, spectators. We could see a great and interesting fight, if that would of not happened.
Tell me more, I'm just reporting on what I saw, how it seemed to me.

Lederman scorecards
He was litteraly changing the scores of rounds, in every few rounds. For example, in the first round he had Zaveck on 10 - 9, but by the fourth, he had him on 9 - 10. This is something that should not happen, of course.
Blind referee
He was standing right next to two of them, when the headbuts happened. Zaveck has even looked at him a second after if happened, but he saw "nothing".
Majority of you dudes are little b1tches. You cry about absolutely anything if your guy doesn't get the win. Stop watching boxing, it will save you some headaches.
Nobody is crying, so you should calm down a bit. Specially not Zaveck, who has nothing to do with this, as you call, "crying". He would of not said anything bad about anyone, even if he would get robbed on the scorecards, as some fighters in the past did already. He took it as a man and i think, that he came out of this fight stronger than he ever was.
However, we are just pointing out some things. People who have not seen this event, could of think that Zaveck's face got messed up becouse of punches, which is not true. Of course, after the headbut, it was just getting worse and worse.
Definitely was punches that busted up and opened up Zaveck's face. No headbutts, and no controversy as claimed by some.
It was punches that has caused Zaveck's left eye to be cut, but it was not that bad after all. Even Berto was cut over one of his eyes, which is very well visible after the fight. Anyway, if it would be just that cut over the eye for Zaveck, he could continue the fight with ease.
It was the hematoma, that has messed him up totaly. This, is what was caused by a headbut. Take a look at my signature, if you still do not believe it. It has closed Zaveck's right eye totaly and there was no way that he could continue the fight fairly, with it.
I would not say that it was - fully - intentional, but this fight would of defenetly not ended up like that, if it was not for a headbut.
I could see Zaveck winning in the next few rounds or at least on the scorecards. Shame, but this is boxing, i guess.
Hopefully, he gets at least another chance if not a rematch, which he would fully deserve, due to the everything that he has shown in this fight.
Because of their physique they got a lot of wins due to fear from their opponent.
Do you realy think, that Zaveck has lost this fight becouse he was afraid of Berto?
He has lost this fight, becouse Berto has - probably accidently - headbuted him. You might want to take a look, at a few analysis of this event.
I hope so, if he does, then he's gained my respect.
Indeed.
Frankly, i doubt that the rematch will happen, but it defenetly should. Zaveck should not lost the fight, by this way.
Yes, he probably does.
Has was not impressive for me personally in the fight against Zaveck, at all. In fact, if it would of not been about probably an accidental headbut, he would of probably lost the fight. His defence is poor, aswell as his conditioning. He was barely standing on his legs, in the fifth round.
If the - probably accidental - headbut would not happen, Zaveck would have this fight in the next three or four rounds. I have nothing against Berto, but frankly, if this is the best that he can do, he should of never returned into boxing.
I realy hope, that Zaveck gets a rematch in the future - even though, realistically, i doubt it. If not, i at least hope for another chance for Zaveck, becouse everyone who knows anything about boxing, saw that he was a better figther in this fight. It was his plan to open up in the second half of the fight and i realy think, that this fight would of gone to him.
Zaveck, did not deserve this. It was him who wanted Berto and not the opposite, in case anyone thinks so. It was him who came all the way from Slovenia to prove himself and he has done it. However, this is the sport - anything can happen.
I dont kno why hbo pays berto so much to fight bums and doesnt even fill up the place small fan base
"Bums"? It would of been a very tight match if there was no headbut, in fact, i believe that Zaveck would of won it in the later rounds. Berto was obviously gassed in the fifth round already and has barely been standing on his legs, after some clear punches by Zaveck. You should check Compubox stats and rewatch the match, if you think that Zaveck is a "bum".
Also, you should know that it is Zaveck who wanted Berto and not the opposite. It is Zaveck who came all the way from Slovenia, to prove himself - and he has done it. It was an unfortunate headbut, which has ruined the night for him. However, he is a fair and big hearted guy, who does not search for excuses and this is, why he is not complaining about it.
Anyway, i agree with you on the fan base. There was litteraly more Slovenian fans in the Biloxi, than Berto's fans. If this fight would of happened in Slovenia, it would of filled a football stadium with ease.
If it would not be for an - probably accidental - headbut, Zaveck would of won this fight in the next few rounds. It was his plan to open up in the second half of the fight and frankly, it was obvious that he was a better fighter in this fight.
But that is boxing, i guess. Berto's constant head-jumping-in aswell as Zaveck's high guard and boxing from a close distance, did not help to a situation. Anyway, at least i see why some top fighters do not want to fight against Berto - it is simply, too risky. I do think that Zaveck did not deserve this, but i think that his time is still to come. He has probably came out of this fight, stronger than ever.
Still wondering why Zaveck didn't complain to keep Berto humble with his head.
Becouse he is a fair and big hearted fighter, who did not came in the USA to cause drama or search for excuses. He would of never done it, even if he would get robbed on the scorecards at the end of the match.
He must be one of the most polite boxers, that i personally have ever seen or met. It may not be as interesting as litteraly spitting in your opponent's face at the weigh-in's, not giving your opponent a hand on the start of the round or saying how you will kill your opponent in the ring, but it shows what kind of a person Zaveck is. It is a shame that it has ended up like that, but i bet that Zaveck's time is still to come.
Zaveck should have complained.
Nah, he has already said that he will not do it. He is a fair and big hearted fighter, who does not search for excuses - even though, everyone can see that he did not get bloody, from the punches. Of course, after major damage was done by a headbut, it was just getting worse and worse. He could not see anything on one of his eyes, since the blood was going into it very quickly, as he said.
If referee has "failed to see it", at least Zaveck's corner did. This was a smart stoppage, from them. Even though there is a slight chance that Zaveck could of recovered, it would not be even close to a fair fight, after his face became a bloody mess in one minute.
