Mario Lopez is obviously qualified to be a boxing commentator, he played a boxer once on an episode of "saved by the bell" - he even got to put on real boxing gloves for the part, and he got to keep the boxing shoes after it was over. Of course his live appearances as a host for the Thanksgiving Day Parades and of course - **** Clarks' "Rockin' New Years Eve" are what got him the gig with Top Rank, I heard nobody actually watched the Dancing with the Stars crap - apparently seeing Mario in tights as a kid on Saved By The Bell has permenately scarred people - I am one of them unfortunately....

Its funny when u put it like that but there is some truth to your humor..I mean, THINK about....look at all the commentators today..I would LOVE to hear what a their overall background in boxing is to be an ANALYST.Comment

I would rather listen to Al Bernstien, Larry Merchant, Barry Tompkins etc. call a fight regardless of their background over Roy Jones Jr., George Foreman or the worst Lennox Lewis.
I had a soft spot for Bobby Cyz but the point is the best play by plaers tend to be the regular guys not the fighters themselves.Comment

BTW-I thought Zab played up the first low blow a little bit.
The second was awful but the first one appearesd to land on the hip more then the cup. (still not a legal blow but I thought there was a bit of acting there-I dont fault him for it a bit either)Comment

Well, as for me, I can tell you this much.... Merchant and most of theothers DO NOT know boxing any more than a million die hard fans sdo.... there is insight that THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY GIVE to you, the viewer...so why not get a boxer/former boxer who speaks well and can relay the REAL info?? Foreman used to say some APPARENTLY outlandish things, accoring to the way the other two reacted to him words, but as a boxer I always knew what Foreman (and Roy) were talking about. I think deep down Merchant HATES the fact that these other guys have experience and can give the viewers insight he could never in a million years give.Comment

AC Slater can fight.
He knows the first shot was not low enough to cause all that drama.
The kid has been in the ring and is pretty good.
I did not get sick of hearing him expose Judah.
It had to be done.
we all seen the theatrics.
Judah should be an actor.
He gets an academy award for that dive in the first round.
Like the commentators said, it was a ****** move by Judah.
Delayed reaction gave Judah away.
You never take a dive especially when every one around you thinks that you have your man hurt. He had Cotto hurt but Cotto had already bounced back. Judah thought this was Galvan or Rivera he was fighting. He really did believe all that shiet about Cotto having a glass chin. He must have been shocked when the robot would shake it off and just keep fighting.
****** Judah said he was the Matrix and that Cotto would never find him.
Found his ass in the 11th and owned his ass.
ha ha ha.Comment

You don't shiet about what you are saying.
Why do you talk when you don't do your homework?
Do you like to hear yourself talk shiet you know nothing about?
Are you that desperate to be spanked?
Lopez makes the transition to his alter ego not in a phone booth, but at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles. Lopez, formerly best known as the jock, A.C. Slater, on the sitcom "Saved by the Bell," and more recently the co-host of "The Other Half" on network TV, is not nearly so genial when he steps into a boxing ring.
This is not one more puff piece about an actor dabbling with boxing, enhancing his street creds or salving some private side of his psyche. Let me be clear: Lopez can fight. He's no dilettante. These are not movie punches he's dodging, or special effects; these are the brain-numbing kind in a hardcore gym. Don't let his pretty-boy image fool you. He knocks people out in regularly scheduled bouts in the gym, and has had to be warned on several occasions by Freddie Roach for unnecessary roughness. So, Lopez walks the walk, but never talks the talk.Comment
