    I for one, applaud the ref. He saved us for a boring ass 12 round fight. :eek:

    lmao Are you serious? Im probsbly one of the few more knowledgeable heads on this site. What are you tryibg to say? That this fight would be exciting? i dont think many were pining at the mouth in anticipation for this fight. Its a horrible matchup for the fans. Oh great, it was an "important" fight for a ABC title. Big whoop. I like Bhop but aside from a few, his fights are ugly and tough to watch. Bad Chad isnt wowing my socks off either. Always knew this fight would be a snooze fest whenever it would get made.

    I don't understand the sport of boxing? You call two guys grabbing, holding, hugging and shoving for 12 rounds, boxing? You know what's boxing? The Demarco-Linaries fight, now that's boxing. Not this horrible matchup of styles that turns a boxing match into a cure for insomnia.

    For the undercard. Wanted to see how Jorge Linaries would bounce back after being KO. I stopped watching ater that fight.

    Bump for the fight tomorrow -- i'll be rooting for Bernard and Seth -- I just need to remember to watch the fight... hasn't been getting much love from the press.

    Hope it's a good fight. Lately Bernard has been entertaining. Always good to see one of the greatest fighters of all time fight

    Didn't watch the Hopkins fight because I knew it would be horrible (who didn't?) but that was a nice HW scrap for a change. Feel sorry for the folks who stuck around for Hopkins Dawson borefest.
