Marquez seemed amused as well, though I'm not sure if that was because Hopkins genuinely made him laugh, or that Hopkins is a Golden Boy Co-Promoter.

    Also, what was up with all the Oscar shirts? Everybody on Marquez's team had one almost. ****, I haven't seen that many Oscar shirts at any Oscar fight.[/QUOTE]

    first time ive seen oscar at a fight since his lose..that maybe why
    Oscar was there? I didn't even see him.

            I'd go back and watch it again, paying only attention to comments by Steward, to tally it, but I can't be bothered right now.
            I found myself agreeing with his views on Diaz's punches being flashier because Marquez was falling back, while JMM was still landing clean punches while Diaz came forward.

                I'm going to check again. Maybe I just didn't notice because of Hopkins' loud yellow shirt.

                    1.) Jim Lampley seemed irritated when Max Kellerman compared the fight to Corrales/Castillo. Mentioning that that fight was on their competitor's network

                    2.) Lampley also says that Corrales/Castillo occured in 2003, when it actually occured in 2005. A fight that epic, it seems odd to think a professional boxing broadcaster wouldn't remember it. Maybe Lamps doesn't watch Showtime fights?

                    3.) Lampley and Steward were in the tank for Juan Diaz. They always got excited when Diaz threw anything, even when he was clearly missing. And rarely ever did them mention Marquez's amazing counterpunching skills, or the adjustment he made mid-fight.

                    4.) Harold Lederman still only scores rounds for activity, and not accuracy.

                    5.) Kellerman made a point to bring Corrales/Castillo up yet again when the post fight interviews were concluded, this time on a live mic, so the whole crowd could hear him. I agreed with what he had to say.

                    6.) Bernard Hopkins was going nuts in the crowd, yet again. It's funny for me to see Hopkins front row, going nuts, at all of these fights. He's a character for sure, cracks me up. He also patted his hand on Diaz's shoulder when Diaz seemed disappointed inthe loss, as if to say "it's okay". I thought that was cool.

                    7.) The replay of the first knockdown shows some amazing slow motion footage of Marquez's ability to adjust a punch, mid-combination. He's about to throw the left uppercut, and he notices that Diaz is out of range, so he pulls it right back, and turns it into a jab, which sets up a nice right hand afterward. The entire replay is a perfect example of how deadly Marquez's accuracy can be.

                    8.) Emmanuel Steward is such a fence-rider. He'll pick a guy he likes, in this case, Diaz, and talk him up nonstop. Then the opponet, in this case Marquez, lands some nice shots of his own, and all of a sudden, it's him he likes. At least Kellerman and Lampley let you know who they like immediately, and don't switch sides 15 times in a fight.

                    9.) I still miss Larry Merchant.

                    Green K for this on-balls accurate post. God, I can't stand Lampley.

                      Marquez lands three perfect uppercuts, no word.

                      Diaz lands a decent connecting left hook, "HUGE ELFT HOOK BY DIAZ!"

                      Yeah he's been pissing me off, but his excitement adds to the broadcast still.
