I am not buying it, not enough for me to spend that kind of money.

Mora came in 3 pounds over at 157. Mosley weighed in at 154 on the spot. Dan Rafael is reporting via twitter that Mora will lose 20% of his purse.

He had 3 months to make weight... what an idiot.

Mora is favored to win, but I think Mosley has an 50/50 shot now.

Mora is the type of fighter that Mosley has problems with.

Oh yeah... hell no to buying this car... It is a WCB fight...

# Mora came back and was 153.6 and the fight is on, but he is still penalized the 20 percent of his $285,000 contract purse. 1 minute ago via web

# By the way Mosley gets the penalty money from Mora not commission.

Mora is favored to win!?!? Who?

Well, I didn't get to see the fight but all reports are that it was really hard to judge and that ultimately, it was probably scored correctly. Draws always suck. Even in cases when they'll lead to great rematches.

What did Vivian Harris do to the collective sisters of the HBO broadcast team? Jeez. They were on his case from the first 15 secs of the fight. "Pathetic", "embarrassing".

I am so glad I didn't buy this fight, although I was busy anyways (Go Cats!)

Mora fights the untalented fighter boxing style - run and hug.

I only saw the undercard online, wanted to watch baseball afterward and didn't care for Mora/Mosley.

Ponce De Leon and Alvarez scored one of the better KO's of the year, though I'll give the edge to PDL as he did it against a live body. Baldomir looked 50 but he's still tough...granite chin that finally gave way to Canelo's power.

What did Vivian Harris do to the collective sisters of the HBO broadcast team? Jeez. They were on his case from the first 15 secs of the fight. "Pathetic", "embarrassing".

Lampley sounded pretty bad again...he either doesn't care anymore or he's trying his hardest to get fired. It was clearly an Ortiz/Alvarez showcase for HBO and mission accomplished but for 44(SD)/55(HD)? No thanks. Get rid of that ridiclous main event and put those 2 fighters on a BAD or something.

IDK. Lampley commands respect and authority, to me. I just think the team can be really unsympathetic at times.

"Ladies and gentleman, this fight was not a draw. This decision sucks."

I like it when they hate some fights and tell everyone about it... I think that is a significant difference between HBO boxing and Showtime... The only thing is that Showtimes outside of their Tarver fetish they had for a while always buys quality fights or at the very least relevant fights so they don't really say... hey... yeah the fight we bought sucked monkey balls.

Slow October in boxing but for 7 weeks straight(Nov. 6 - Dec. 18), there will be a lot of fights. Should be a great end to a disappointing year for the sport.

Lemieux just knocked out Camacho in the first round. Not sure how much it really means (Camacho is far from a stud) but the guy has scary power. With every fight, he's looking/sounding more and more legit.

Do Pinoys appreciate the anti-nationalism of "Imagine"? I doubt it.

Judah will get KO'ed

I don't give a **** about Guerrero or Escobedo... I shouldn't watch GB crappy fights.

Lopez should win, in his prime. Marquez has too many wars to overcome a guy who is was considered the next big thing until he fought Rogers Mtagwa.

Johnson is a whole lot of awesome, and I want him to win vs that POS Green.

Blame Rasho · Post #1397 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sun Nov 7, 2010 9:40 pm

Judah won vs SD... it was a pretty crappy fight. It could have gone the other way

Guerrero... don't give a **** about him. HBO is pushing him down as if it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Lopez won, but got hurt alot. Marquez quit on his stool. Cited an arm/shoulder injury. I think a prime Marquez KOs him for the count.

Johnson is indeed awesome. Hopefully, that will be the last we see of Green and his overrated ass on TV.

GS Warriors 1 · Post #1398 » by **GS Warriors 1** » Sat Nov 13, 2010 3:44 am

Judah didn't look good at all. Guerrero was solid but he doesn't go for the KO when he should. Lopez/Marquez was awesome. FOTY so far but there should be more contenders for that award coming up soon. I second the above statement on Green and Johnson.

cowboyronnie · Post #1399 » by **cowboyronnie** » Sat Nov 13, 2010 3:49 am

Nothing touches Williams vs Martinez, man. Lopez vs Marquez was awesome. But the former was so God damn dynamic - in and out, looping and slipping - crazy stuff.

Can't wait for that fight next week.
