Comments Thread For: Controversy Already Breaks Out at Chavez-Lee Weigh-In

[Mike Haynes]

Three words: Billy Collins Junior

I would NOT fight if I was Andy Lee. Lee has a tendency to eat a lot of punches. I would not be surprised if he dies tomorrow.

Texas has the worst commission, but the only thing that validates the fights there is that Texas has hardcore boxing fans that pack the arenas.

hardcore fans like the ones that do the wave?

or the ones that root for a rican over a mexican trained donaire just because he brought a mexican flag in the ring?

[Optimistic]

What the **** is so difficult about weighing the gloves?

Smh what a mess.

[dbtayag]

Like WTF yo. Just weigh his gloves, Roach! It's even easier than taking a blood test!

What a bunch of dimwit posters. this is CONTROVERSY, meat and drink to the boxing game. Creates interest amongst imbeciles, It might attract an extra few hundreds or thousands to either the venue or TV to see what happens. it's just PR and obviously contrived, like nearly all the situations at weigh-ins. They've taken tips from Wrestling and MMA etc.

What kind of ****** statement is that? You won't be surprised if Lee dies in the ring tomorrow? Moronic statement...

[KnockoutKings]

Don't they check the gloves and hand wraps before the fight anyways?

nope...its called gamesmanship. it has nothing to do with selling more tickets

what dimwit would suddenly want to see the fight because there was so called controversy with gloves. give me a ****in break

**** Freddie Roach, man. Jesus.

War Lee... out of spite.

[IMDAZED]

Chavez Jr, Freddy Roach and the Texas commission are all slimey bastards.

There's always some controversy surrounding Roach. A name that fits him perfectly, I might add.

What if Lee gets hurt because there's some shady business behind Jr's gloves?

My guess is Team Lee were tipped, that's probably why they asked to weigh Jr's gloves. I would cancel the fight if I was Lee. First Jr refuses to drug test after a fight and now this.

How much more direct can you get? Chavez Jr has blatanly told the media and public that he's a cheater and then told everyone F you, do something about it.

You nailed it.
