This writer is trippin, and not very perceptive...they edited 24/7 and made it a whole new show...no more boring training footage....they showed small tidbits of training, and showed Floyd having fun in the gym, interacting with fighters in his gym which is new...Floyd finally talked trash which is what we wanna see...They promoted Floyd like a badazz this time around...And Floyd talking about knocking out Ortiz..This writer said the lines where rehearsed, but lets be real Floyd is Floyd...he always says some slick stuff and fly trash talk..I liked seeing Floyd instigating the sparring session too..I LOVED this episode, and it was waaay different from the Ortiz 24/7's...and I like seeing Floyd's silly childish side..when he was talking about the doghouse, he goes into a tangent and starts ranting about peta which was funny as HELLL...Floyd is a fool...and I like the ending where he said he was a winner and it edited where he kept saying it to place an emphysis on the fact that he's unbeatable...I also like the fact that Floyd is now more aggressive, and he's point blank saying that he's gonna stop Cotto...he used to be a soft defensive fighter, but now, he's a relentless offensive fighter that u cant lay a glove on, which is so awesome, I have never heard a fighter described like that in my LIFE...The way they showed the Ortiz KO, and had Floyd talking trash, its like he's relentless now...that KO Was ruthless btw...I LOVEEEDDD ITT!!!

50's a popular artist and his best friend. Shantel is his fiance that appears to be camera shy.

Not sure what you're implying but it makes sense.

David Greisman has written a good article, more like his news reports and less like his usual "Fighting Worda". It was interesting to read and so well and tersely documented. And, because of that, I didn't miss the "10 Count".

Lol. Women don't go under the knife to be camera shy... unless they have an agenda.

Good line by Diaz: "Invincible men only exist in the movies"

Have to admit the way he dropped it was on of my favorite lines in 24/7.

Even though I want Floyd to win you can't help but admire and respect Cotto & his trainer Diaz.

Watching this after the Arsenal-Wigan game, Is it boring again?

Saving all the episodes to watch Saturday before the fight

Good line by Diaz: "Invincible men only exist in the movies"

I really liked this 24/7. This was my second favorite line. My favorite was when floyd said, " I like the smell of the gloves."

It doesn't appear as if floyd thinks this will be as easy as people say it will be.

I thought this episode was great. A lot of usable quotes on this one. I like Floyds whole approach to this fight. "This camp we boxing non stop" thats what I want to hear. Diaz had a good quote that somebody already posted earlier. I like the part when they were showing the younger guys sparring. Im surprized they didnt say anything about the Omar Henry beatings.
