Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Mares' Rise, Arum Talks Competition

[edgarg]

A point I started out to make but was distracted by rigg. I applaud the interview that Mares has given. It shows him to be a man, a sportsman, and a good all-round guy. Modest and unassuming which makes his sportsmanship all the more realistic. I certainly want him to have my best wishes for future success against whomever.

That's the way my kind of sportsman sounds, the kind I grew up with.

I like GBP because I don't like Arum. I like Showtime because I can't stand listening to Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman. I like Showtime because they've had the better fights recently (Knockout Kings 2 card, Garcia-Judah, Matthysse-Peterson, some of the ShoBox cards, etc.) Paulie, Al Bernstein, and Moral Renello are G's compared to the old-timers on HBO. THAT'S MY PREFERENCE. I'm still gonna watch HBO cards (d0uche) but I ain't gonna enjoy them as much because I have to hear Jim Lampley crap on a fight.

Mike Alvarado would get slaughtered by Garcia btw. He would get sacked by Zab Judah even. Provo***ov is still a one-dimensional ESPN fighter. GBP's stable is stacked from 140 to 154

at least you admitted your riding tendency. I like boxing as a whole, could care less whos the telecaster. watch that (s)hit with the sound off fanboy!
