    I know, they're distracting me from my project I have to do. I'm probably going to have to bail soon. Thanks though :]

    Not live, but I have gone back and watched it...about 5 times lol. I really can't remember if I did. My mom and dad said they did, and I think I remember the 24/7 with it? That's when they started watching floyd, so I think I did too. Regardless, I've watched it bunches of times over the past 9 months.

    I don't think I assumed that. If you really are 17 or 18 and watching Floyd and Manny is what excites your interest in the sport and makes you eventually start learning about the sport as a whole both past and present then that's great! Everyone needs a catalyst, maybe these 2 fighters can be yours. Just understand that if you only ever obsess over the next big thing you will be missing an awful lot of what the sport has to offer and it will limit your understanding. :good

    Stephen A and Skip are absolutely clueless and nauseating to listen too:barf Stephen A`s recent interview with Floyd is some of the worst journalism ive had the displeasure of ever seeing. He is a shameless flo/mo who thinks he knows more about boxing then he actually does. He had the audacity to say that floyd fought a close to prime ODH:huh

    Skip just goes on and on with excuses about anything negative about manny and he thinks Manny is going to destroy floyd but gives no real ****ysis on why other than floyd is scared and doesnt want this fight.:patsch

    Wtf heck no. I fell in love with the Grizzlies because Jerryd Bayless was on the team. Not because they were good or bad. He was gorgeous and I loved him, only him (at first).

    Then, within time, it grew from just one player to the whole sport, and now I love the entire sport. Similar to now with boxing.

    But, I love the sport. PROOF is when Bayless was traded!!!!! Worst day OF MY LIFE, cried all night. Still, I continued being the biggest Grizz fan ever and now I don't even watch Bayless.

    If I was just into the hype, I still wouldn't be a Grizz fan when they got booted from the first round last year....

    Yeah, I heard him say some **** like Oscar was old against Pac, but not agaisnt Floyd. Oscar was drained against Pac, but he was only like a year old against pac, so that made no sense. He was claerly out of his prime for both fights. Skip just clearly hates floyd. Their knowledge in sports in general is just a joke. The only reason they're popular is because over thier overreactions and tirades which go viral.

    Skip said to SRL's face that Hearns was "over-rated" and that SRL "dominated the first fight". He is the absolute worst person to be talking about boxing on a national telecast. SRL looked at him like he was in absolute shock :lol:

    I think Skip's purpose is to be contrarian and shocking.

    Hearing Skip and Stephen talk boxing, it makes me want to throw up.


    I feel bad that Skip is the only guy on there who can argue for Pac...he does a horrible job.


    "Well, Stephen, what you forget is this man is on a religious crusade and Tim Tebow is behind him!"

    Really... I don't think he's said one actual ****ytical fact. It's all generalities.

    Wtf why would you loev Bayless? Because you think he's hot? Lol, I was going to leave you alone, but what kind of logic is that. He was never anything special, he had a good college career but you clearly didn't watch him back then.

    Lmfao @cried when Bayless got traded, even OJ Mayo who was a hypejob was far better than Bayless ever was. Anyways you missed the true glory days of the Grizzlies, when they dethroned the spurs in 2011 everyone went ape ****. Gasol and Randolph just ate them alive with their size. I remember a couple of great buzzer beaters too.

    Skip knows the nfl and mlb well, he did in the past anyway, years ago I used to listen too him when he filled in for Jim Rome on his radio show. Stephen a knows his sports too, but I do t know too much about him pre first take, , that said, when it comes to boxing they both don't know ****. Plus they just take contrarian sides on everything, to generate interest. Espn puppets basically.
