    Talk about ****** on HBO's part....

    Did anyone else notice in the promo for the upcoming Sugar Shane Mosley-Fernando Vargas fight,

    the only highlight they could get of Shane Mosley for the promo was when he was able to pick shots in the fight against Winky Wright when Winky intentionally dropped his arms to prove he couldn't be hurt by Mosley... if you'd never seen the fight, you'd think, Wow, that Mosley must be real good... what a joke HBO.

          Yup I was laughing about that too. Also notice all the Vargas clips were back when he was still good.

              i just like how they show the clip of him catching oscar with a good left. they should show round 11 the reason why vargas is done the reason he went away for a while and the biggest beating he has ever taken

                  Actually, it was a very smart move for HBO. If you're trying to sell a fight, why on earth would show highlights of the fighter getting his ass whipped?

                    digging this one out of the grave to reply here...

                    okay, so you mean to tell me the best highlight HBO has in the ol' archives of Shane Mosley is him beating up an opponent with his arms intentionally down?
