i bet u were routing for donaire to beat ole boring rigo

u call the next man out his name when he doesnt support your hidden black hate agenda...like i said i bet u lomo looks like a god to you tho...and i say this i love lomo, but u wouldnt understand that bc u dont see how i could like both sides of the coin bc u cant..

networks have a way of swaying one's opinion...

shane will be on hbo telling them manny will win bc of a check then on a youtube channel like manny aint smart enough to beat floyd..

I understand that and anyone would be a fool to deny it.

But what does the public's opinion being swayed have to with the outcome of the fight?

So glad Floyd let HBO do half the promoting......cuz Showtime is the Bside to HBO when it comes to promoting

And its like in Showtime promos for the fight....they act like Floyd is fighting himself....LOL. they show Manny for like 2 seconds

I get where you are coming from with a lot of what you are saying especially with how both Lampley and Merchant have devalued the art of boxing and have got the masses to buy into it.

I have been saying that on this site for years. You can see it with the way people complain and how they actually score fights.

OR, this new breed of your described "art of boxing" is boring and is abusive of the rules of Marquess of Queensberry. Excessive disengaging, striking with elbows, bending below the waist, excessive clenching has led to a highly effective style that is boring and not in the heart of what boxing was all about and is rather boring to watch. Maybe, just maybe, its more about that than the color of their skin.

Everybody don't have to like the samething. What part of that don't some of yall get? The examples you used are on the exterme end of things as well.

You can not like it all you want. I don't have a problem with people not liking it. What I do have a problem with is people acting we all have to like and respect the same things. I don't go along with group think. I like what I like and others can like what they like.

People need to stop trying to tell people what to like. Me personally I like a skilled boxing match over a basic no skilled back alley street brawl with gloves. Guess what I'm not going to tell the next man he shouldn't like a back alley street brawl just cause I favor something over that. That is not my place.

My point is it not Merchant or Lampley's job to try and tell the masses what to like just because they have the platform to get their voices heard.

What they should be doing is complaining about the BS matchups we get more instead trying tell people what personal style they think is great and what is boring.
