You know exactly what i'm talking about, fights in Texas are notoriously the worst in the whole of boxing and deserved to be called out because it had been going on years. You still have the Mayweather Pacquiao fight a draw yeah?

walshb wrote: » Not easily. No way. Froch is a a big lump who can punch and who has reach and size and who was always competitive I used to think Joe's speed would see him win comfortable. I'd make Joe a slight favorite based off feet and hand speed, but Froch could tough it out and has heavy hands. Joe had a lot of issues with the hands, but he always had that kind of slappy delivery, even during his ABA reign. I can't recall that he ever claimed hand injuries to a degree during his late amateur career.

Due to the nature of Floyd being such a despicable pr*ck? It would be quite funny to see karma come and bite him in the arse and make a mockery of his career. However unlikely it may be.

Gotta' score as well, and for me Manny was scoring every bit as much, despite silly compu box numbers. In a nutshell I though Floyd was very poor on offence. Really poor, and I had hoped that he would go out and stamp his superiority on Manny. He didn't. Didn't come close. The fight was a stinker, and it was Floyd getting all the praise, most of it for simply avoiding getting cleanly hit. Manny avoided getting cleanly hit just as much, but not a word of praise. Look at this below. I could easily flip that to Floyd. Did he find a way to win? "Not his fault Manny couldn't figure out a way to win."

My gripe I suppose is more to do with the ridiculous OTT praise for one man and nothing for the other. Falling over themselves to find a way to praise Floyd, and 99 percent of it coming form "he's not getting hit clean." Pure desperation.
