Was PBF right? Merchant knows nothing about boxing?

[dnfisher]

never heard of it till Floyd said it myself

Manny called it a check hook right when Floyd layed it on Ricky. That was the first time I'd heard it.

[MANGLER]

Mr boat buyer didn't invent the check hook, or even the literal term check hook. Like someone else mentioned, I imagine guys in the gym know what's up wit it more than announcers do. I've heard Steward use that term in fights he called before that fight, and of course the man is a trainer. But no, we shouldn't assume Merchant knows nothin about a sport he's been coverin for decades just cuz he questioned the almighty Mr boat buyer.

He looks like he is living the dream to me. Sometimes he goes ages without saying a word and you have to wonder whether someone has hooked him up to an IV and they're launching Adrenaline straight into him-to liven the old bastard up.

Is a "Check Hook like a "Check Swing" in baseball, that its pulled short and stopped right at the point of impact?

As far as front runner goes, that term is used in many places other than horse racing..... Merchant isnt even the first commentator to apply it to Zab Judah, much less a boxer in general.

Well then, I admire and envy the man.

Sounds like easy money to me. And a ringside seat for all the big ones.

God bless the ole drunken master.

Well sure, if you have no self-respect and don't mind making an ass out yourself in front of millions of viewers.

Hey poet. The roar of the masses are just farts.

I am sure he doesn't give a **** what they think.

He counts his money, laughs, and bellies up to the bar ringside.

I like him because he checks the idiot drama queen Lampley who couldn't call a 1-2 if he was sitting on the toilet doing both, so he does have some redeeming qualities.
