Yea, saw that last night and wondered wtf that meant..... was thinking a SA name and only person I can think of is Tommy Gunn... but he can barely make 168

Had to look up what punter means. Never heard that term before, but it seems to be British slang for ********. So I guess it has to be someone people have actively speculated about. The only two guys I could think of are Murray and Mora.

Hoping for Brian Vera since Chavez is ducking that rematch hard

Supposedly the rematch will be March 1st according to Arum.

A rematch between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Bryan Vera is being considered for March 1 either in Las Vegas “or one of the Texas towns,” Top Rank CEO Bob Arum told ******.com.

Vera, whose home state is Texas, lost a controversial 10-round unanimous decision to Chavez in Carson, Calif., in September. That bout took place at a 173-pound catchweight because Chavez was not able to make the originally contracted weights. The return bout will happen at the super middleweight limit of 168, according to Arum.

Arum met with Pelullo in Corpus Christi this past week in advance of Saturday's HBO-televised tripleheader featuring Nonito Donaire's stoppage of Vic Darchinyan , Mikey Garcia's knockout that dethroned WBO junior lightweight beltholder Roman "Rocky" Martinez, and Demetrius Andrade’s WBO 154-pound title winning split decision over Vanes Martirosyan.

The rematch was originally supposed to take place in February but Arum said the new date was chosen to avoid conflict with the Feb. 7-through- 23 Winter Olympics in Russia.

“That's what we're looking at, but we're not sure yet. It will either be in Las Vegas or one of the Texas towns,” said Arum. “They (HBO) don't want to go against the Winter Olympics.”

According to CompuBox, Vera had a 176-125 advantage in overall punches landed, as well as winning 109-98 in power shots compared to Chavez, who was awarded the decision by scores of 96-94, 97-93, and 98-92, by Carla Caiz, Marty Denkin and Gwen Adair, respectively.

Of a poll of 59 media members, 53 scored the bout in favor of Vera, with six draws. In its round-by-round,******.com scored the fight for Vera, 97-93.
