Shaw needs to shut up...


If you sign a catchweight fight, then deal with it...

I feel a lot of these fighters sign the catchweight, and proclaim that it won't be an issue, until week of fight, then they wanna complain and use it as an excuse...

Don't sign if you can't handle the stipulations..l

He's actually right, they could've turned down the fight if they felt they won't be able to perform at a 100% cuz of the catchweight, but Geale isn't really focused on the performance, he's focused on that paycheck, so now he's complaining about weight to have excuse after he loses so that he can make another paycheck. Reminds me of someone else.

Love to see Geale come in at 160

The real question is why is the lineal MW champion scared to fight a MW at the MW limit.

[Drunk Punch]

If you're ****** enough to agree to a CW when you have great difficulty even making 160, then who's fault is it?

Cotto is a midget in MW terms, of course he's going to try and get any advantage he can.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

if you think cotto is scared your a moron its call business advantages cotto has faced scarier fighters then geale please stop the crying he signed the contract and has to deal with it he can simply fight someone else oh wait he wont be fighting for a title and a lot of money on a big network so guess what geale took it
