    I know the ignorant casuals are eating this up, just like they did with Tyson vs Paul, but honestly this shiet is lame as hell.

      I kind of roll my eyes whenever I see Ring Magazine owner Rick Reeno. He looks like a parking lot owner, dressed either as a golfer (like last night) or like a RUN DMC reject, who’s so unnecessarily extra wearing white gloves any time he has to whip out that custom made RING magazine belt when promoting this fight.

      Like, dude…we get it. But no, he has to brag about how much there’s been spent on the belt and why it’s important. Dude, stop.

      I’m glad the fight’s large…but at the same time what comes with it is a bunch of people making decisions about the entire process who rarely have a hand in the business.

      I like seeing Rosie Perez as a fan ringside…just…not as a commentator nor when they try to shoehorn in celebrities (who probably ARE fans) as blow by blow or color commentary.

      It’s kind of like how they randomly dropped Nate Campbell and Ray Mancini in to the broadcast of Adrien Broner’s PPV bout by Don King.

      Just…please stop.

      Get Lampley in there, he was great in New York.

      Get Kellerman probably in there. I like Larry Merchant, but he’s waaaaaaaaaaayyy too old to be ringside at this point.

      Just put in any mix of Lampley, Kellerman, Roy Jones, Tarver, and Bernstein.

      That would be perfect.
      I wrote this either yesterday and who shows up announced as one of the guys from the broadcast team for this fight? Max Kellerman…

      I feel like the Robin Williams Jumanji meme is appropriate here: “WHAT YEAR IS IT?!”

      This is perfect. If Dana White is at the Las Vegas press tour stop and reveals that Lampley is going to be on that broadcast team I will LOSE.MY.SHHHHHHHH

          Bro, Larry isn't way too old, he's way too dead to be at ringside at this point....

            Doesn’t matter. He still ain’t beating Terence “TBE, Superman” Crawford

              Floyd 11-1 Saul and was ruled one draw card rofl

              they don’t protect Saul as much these days so maybe 8 rounds gets the decision

              But boxing is about money There still potential big fight in the pipeline for Saul-David

              TBud only other big fight is rematch
              You raise an EXCELLENT point Kittmeister...according to CompuBox, Bivol outlanded Canelo 152 vs. 84 punches overall and in ALL 12 rounds yet was only awarded victory by the narrowest of margins (115-113 on all 3 scorecards). Therefore, imagine how dominant Crawford needs to be in order to win the undisputed championship?

                This whole thing is so fake, I'm questioning whether it's actually the matrix, and I'm really just sealed up behind some gooey membrane, stacked in a huge cavern, with a hdmi cable plugged into my brain stem.

                    To be honest, it looked like two guys pretending to be upset with the other. No real tension or hostility, just two business partners pretending to be mad to get more money from fans.

                      Sure does look totally fake. Seen a lot of these things and this one isn't sparking anything, any excitement. Should be a good for business though. Miss those old fights when you knew it had real tension, grudge, bad blood, mind games, hostility, edge. That rascal Fraudweather ruined the sport.
