    24/7 Ward/Dawson was super boring

    It reminded me of the Calzaghe/Jones one.

    Nobody wants to see two family men without a fanbase.

    It was nice seeing Scully there but man this is another waste of 24/7.

    24/7 should have used one before the Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia fight, that would have been awesome the trash talk from Garcia's father and Khan and Roach talking crap back, and than the outcome of the fight lived up to the hype it was a war and Garcia knocked out the favorite in sensational fashion.

    24/7 should stop doing them for Mayweather and Pacquiao we already know these guys, but also they need to start choosing the fights that have interesting prefight hype not two family men who are pretty boring and stale.

    The chavez vs. Martinez one should be good even if its in subtitles cause there is geniuine beef and you know for a fact it will live up to the hype and be worth the ppv price someone is going to get messed up in that fight these guys aren't all talk.

    Also I would love to see 24/7 Brandon Rios vs. Victor Ortiz, but part of that back story is gone the fued between Robert and Danny Garcia which has been squashed since Victor fired Danny. But the beef betwen Rios and Ortiz is still there.

    Hbo should have also tried to land Haye vs. Chisora, that could have been major ratings in America the pre fight build up was hyped, and the fight ended in knockout.

    Ya, the episode was fairly dry, but nice to see a changeup from pac or may. Plus i like watching a behind the scenes look at campss, and fighters lives leading up to fights. Wish they would do more for martinez-chavez tho

      yup, I fell asleep on this one, it was almost as boring as the jones jr vs calzaghe one which was a huge failure be Jones Jr was past his prime and no longer the talkative razzle dazzle guy.

      A 24/7 with Roy Jones jr vs Antonio tarver rematch back in the mid 2000's would have been huge!

      I wish they could have done a 24/7 for Khan vs. Garcia, that fight ended with fireworks, maybe if they have a rematch they could do one? the trash talk would build that fight big time and yu know the fight will deliver.

        I already knew both guys were good ole family guys, real class cats. But they were super boring. Nothing exciting in their life except spending time with family, cooking food, and not even any decent sparring clips.

          it's not really 24/7. their only doing that one episode. it was essentially the old countdown shows that they used to do.

            Never liked khan, until oddly enough after his defeat by garcia. The heart he showed in trying to fight back struck i chord i guess. Not a favorite fighter of mine by anymeans, but i wish him the best going into the future.

            A 24/7 with khan would probably just make me not like him again, lol. Would be a good way to build up garcia tho.

                So why'd you watch it?

                  I liked the training footage and the what the trainers had to say. Didn't care for the segments about the children and families.
