    I am happy for Deontay Wilder. He's a classy guy with a good story.

    We can't all be winners all the time.

      The team was disappointing, but guys like Andrade, Russell Jr., and Warren should do very well in the pro ranks.

              One word, disgrace. This team had talent, actually strong talent IMO. You had two world champions fail badly, you had a guy that couldnt make weight, and then you had ****y guys that danced around or didnt listen. What pisses me off the most are the guys that held back punches and didnt throw. Its boxing, not dancing guys. The USA team has a lot of soul searching just like the Mens basketball team had. I expect good things in 2012 and new coachs to adjust to the rest of the world. USA needs to stop thinking they will just win based on where they are from and their skills. The world has caught up and we need to adjust and dig deep.

                  Hmmmm..... Did they really hold back, or were they just beat?..... I have to go see the fights and watch them all...

                  I can't believe i actually thought Estrada would so something.

                    Oooo no.. never attempted... don't have enough fights i presume.. im 7-1.. been off and on a few years and in the last year/1/2 started getting serious with work and school and BOXING.

                    i'll probably not go for the 2012... it'll be a lil late for me to go.. by that time should just go pro.
