    Anyone going to the fight tonight? He may not be his daddy but this kid is sure fun to watch. It could be a war brewing. This is also the first time HBO is down here since Juan Diaz was relevant.

    Why reliant arena, why not use the toyota center? It's double the capacity size.

    Cause the last HBO Boxing after dark here, I think there were probably 9,000 people in there.

    I'm guessing by the relatively short amount of time between Kam and coolweather's posts that it wasn't much of a fight?

    Really? Boring?

    Manfredo wasn't doing much, but I always enjoy Julio's fights.

    This was no exception.

    Sergio Martinez thinks Julio is a cash cow and an easy fight.

    I really don't know why Sergio is considered a p4p fighter. The guy beats Paul Williams and then ducks every other good fighter and calls out guys that are 2 weight classes below him. LOL

    He won't fight Pirog or Kid Chocolate because they don't bring money to the table, but Serhiy Dzinziruk does? Darren Barker does?

    Sergio Martinez is a joke.

    It didn't capture me, but it may have been because I just saw an exciting UFC fight, and OU/Baylor was pretty damn good too.

    I thought it was pretty good. The crowd was red hot. Vocally and physically as the women there were georgeous. Chavez Jr did his thing, he put on a show. I like how he ended it. Although, it was kind of a quick stoppage because I wanted to see a classic war. But Manfredo was on the ropes and wasn't responding so they stopped it.

    Reliant arena is perfect for boxing. It's a smaller venue so you can pretty much get a good view anywhere in the house. Coupled with a packed house which makes the atmosphere that much more defining.

    So was it sold out?


    I think it holds about 9,000.

    that's how many people were at the Diaz Magagsdlgifana Jersey shore guy fight.
