    EASY MONEY,.......

    I have been trounced as angry fan for saying this but it is the plain and simple to see truth of the matter. Boxing is a business....the products are the fighters themselves in this case. HBO knows that the public is going to consider their OPINIONS as the best out there because they are the professionals. So when they repeatedly talk about how a fighter is dominating or landing flush shots when your eyes say otherwise, they are hoping that the public will just give in to what they are saying due to their positions with the networks.

    The other guycan land several flush punches and they won't say a single word about it but as soon as the marketable guy, the guy that is supposed to win, throws a punch that may only hit gloves, they say..."Wow, there goes so and so with a nice right hand" knowing full well that the punch didn't even land.

    They are trying to hype dude up as a superstar because if they say he is one, well golly gee he must be one then....lol

      Maybe they thought they could call landing 21% on a slick fighter accurate?

          Last night Zab actually did have pretty good defense. He made Khan miss a lot of shots.

          doesnt matter though because he was doing literally nothing offensively. It was horrible. And Khan just shrugged and started piling up punches.

            Because he busted up Zabs face in 5 rounds worse than its ever been busted up.

            Also Pacquiao is Michael Jordan according to HBO.

              Why were the HBO announcers calling Pacquiao the next armstrong and saying he's the best offensive fighter of all time?

              Why were the HBO announcers(especially Jim Lampley) riding on Cotto's d*ck and saying he was the best Puerto Rican fighter of all time?

              This is not the first time this has happened.

                They make mistakes and also are bias.

                I mean zab actually has a longer reach where as they said Khan does...

                Also Khan did hit Zab who is slick. His new style under sweet Pea is slick, but the problem is, zab does not throw any punches back with it like Pea did.

                21% is bad, but most of it was when Zab didn't throw and kept going back. If you look at when zab was exchanging, Khan was fairly accurate.
