    Just saw DLHvBhop, Wow was it BORING!

    Geezous, I was nearly falling asleep in that match until maybe rd 8 and 9. Hearing that guy BOO them in the crowd was great. All the build up and hype to a sleeper match that really, everything up to rd 9, DID NOT MATTER. All it took was 1 punch that didn't even require wearing Oscar down since he didn't see it coming. Couldn't he have landed that in the 1st rd, and save us the trouble of watching 8 more BORING rds? Geezous. It's funny how heavyweights were the greatest to watch, now they are slow moving tanks that run out of gas fast, the featherweights are what are gonna end up taking over the boxing entertainment completely with their nonstop energy and battling from rd 1.

    The featherweights put on great fights but they will never take over boxing. Welterweights and middleweights have always been where alot of the great fights have occured. Hagler, Leonard, Duran, and Hearns have put on some great fights at those weights. Recently, Trinidad/Vargas, Delahoya/Vargas, and Hopkins/Trinidad. Trinidad/Mayorga is sure to add to the list as well.

        what can you say about the fight Winter? let 'em know your thoughts about the match. 'coz for me, i predicted it wrong. i thought DLH will win at or at least a draw due external factors. but since BH KO'd him, everything went wrong.

          Summer, I thought what you thought. I thought Oscar De La Hoya was going to win. It looked like he would win at first. I was sad when he lost.

            Both my bets won. I bet on Hopkins KO and JMM by UD. I thought right when I said DLH is gonna go down in the later round. I thought he was gonna go down in 10. I was 1 round generous to DLH in my prediction. I guess he wasn't tough enough to last 1 round any longer.

            Too bad I'll never get those cash coz of the site upgrade. I wonder why they had to start from scratch at least with the cash. They were able to convert (port over) the user info and total post, but why not the accumulated cash?

            Has it something to do with cheatings in the past?

                I know ,where did my 70k go? Oh well lets do it again, the fight started slow b/c I think DLH wanted to be in good shape come the later rounds, too bad he was hit in the liver. Damn that Hopkins,lol. OK fight but DLH needs to stay away from Middle weight

                  It was boring. I figured it would be and the only reason I saw it was because there were like 5 people throwing in on it. Tito vs. Mayorga will make up for it though!! DLH/Hop may have been a bigger fight but Tito-Mayorga will blow it out of the water excitement wise. I can't make up my mind who to root for but Tito is gonna win by TKO.

                    Its short for Juan Manuel Marquez, the WBC and IBF featherweight champ who evobosm (summer) calls "chicken" for not rematching MAnny Pacquiao and instead chose to fight Salido last Saturday.
