    Did a HBO 24/7 or Showtime All access change your pick during a fight build up?

    I missed a big sign for the 24/7 Cotto-martinez. I chose Martinez going into the fight but there was a sign that i ignored that should of made me change my pick.
    Besides the obvious knee surgeries and inactivity i was still rolling with sergio but on an episode he said "I'm not sparring for this camp". Smh and he took a beating.
    Another one is kovalev-ward 2 on 24/7. We remember the rumblings about kovalev and jackson having tension and this and that. But i actually switched sides. I had picked kovalev to win the rematch but when i heard that jackson "doesnt help him" and all he does was "hold his mitts" i knew ward was gonna take it. Especially when he was just focusing on conditioning with his news S&C coach

    Y'all ever changer your mind or have more confidence in the fighter you pick watching these (well just all access now)?
    Or is it just entertainment for you?

    I actually threw some money down on Margarito to upset Pacquiao due to the their 24/7.

    Ended up being completely wrong, of course. Aside from that one monster body shot that Margarito appeared to hurt Pac with.

      I can't remember that ever happening. If I saw some film of one of the boxers doing some great fighting that I had never seen before it's possible I could change my pick. If I know both boxers weil I would not change my pick.

        Chavez jr vs martinez. I had martinez outboxing chavez before 24/7.

        It made it seem like they were purposely showing chavez not training AT ALL.

        So I thought to myself "there's no way Chavez jr is taking martinez this lightly, there doing it on purpose to try to make chavez look like a killer after he beats martinez. Chavez is probably training his ass off and HBO sees the beating he will put on martinez. They just want chavez to look like a killer who doesn't have to train!"

        Chavez is gonna kill martinez!

            That fight definitely took something out of pac. I enjoyed the whole "cement in his gloves" bit on 24/7

                    Speaking of which...did Sergio actually have multiple surgeries and do you know what the exact knee injury was that he suffered and eventually caused him to retire? Thanks.
