    Theres like 10 fights and most of them are not televised and that is why it is starting at 4:30 PM. They televise at 9 PM so just be there by 9 and you should be ok.

    I am planning on getting there at 8 just to be a bit early.

    Well your prediction was close. The fight was close, I wasn't scoring it round by round but Paulie very well could have won the fight.

    I think we found out tonight how good AB is and how good he is not.

    I think my criticism of him is still right.

    I think Pauly could have done better but even his performance was good enough to make it a close decision.

    I am still trying to find out what all these guys saying that AB was KOing PM were basing their prediction on?

    I'll tell you what. As I was leaving Barclays I could see the hype for Broner is still strong so I'll cash out on him sooner or later....lol

    Well Broner never should have been a 11:1 favorite over Paulie. I still managed to make money because I bet more on the over. Banks ****ed me though and I basically broke even tonight. Banks put on a pathetic performance, it seemed fixed to me.

    I won the over and lost the decision so only lost $33 which is nothing really.

    Banks/Mitchell: I could not believe my eyes. That was utter trash. That fight should have not gone 12.

    I want to hear from the guys who said that AB was going to KO Pauly or that it was going to be easy work.

    Although PM did not win as I would have liked or should say as my wallet would have liked.

    I think that my analysis on Broner and the fight was valid.

    why do you care what a few blowhards here think?

    a month ago before the esb changes the majority of the people here had only followed ths sport for two years or so, thought they were an expert and really didn't know anything about the fight game and how to handicap a fight.

    most of the experienced guys here knew the best play was the over and that pauli had little chance to win a decision.

    LOL...I just wanted to hear the backpedalling.

    I mean at 115-113 fight which is how I just scored it and how I think one of the judges , bernard hopkins and one of the other commentators had it I think that we saw Pauly had more than just a little chance to win and that is why I thought the value bet for Pauly for a decision was too good to pass up, especially at those odds.

    The over was absolutely the best play though.

    that's what some of us tried to explain to you yesterday as most of us agreed that the chances of pauli getting stopped was not high.

    I didn't score the fight.

    I was just watching in amazement on how broner and his hype was not able in coming close to knocking down pauli malignaggi...a fate he just suffered against journeyman jww cano.

    I understood what you and the other guys who actually have a boxing brain and where making sense were saying.

    I won the over and lost the decision bet. I didn't really score it till like half an hour ago and watching it live there were a lot of Broner fans uuhhinn and Ahhing anytime Broner would throw anything hard and miss and I was in the cheap seats too so that didn't help.
