    It seems you want Floyd to be scared, afraid so bad. It's like you guys have become borderline delusional. Manny is going to take a beating tonight, making more "in support of" threads won't help

    They both looked like they're in great shape. I think both guys coming in under the 147 limit should play into a speed increase for both of them tonight.

    I don't think you can take too much from the stare down. They both look composed in their own ways IMO.

    As meaningless as this kind of thing is, what the heck, I'll play. I noticed:

    1) Manny is pretty slow at tying his shoes. He should have had someone there to tie them for him.

    2) Michael Buffer (I think that's who it was) must have had somewhere more important to be. He kept looking at his watch.

    3) In all seriousness, if there's one thing that is telling here it is that Floyd is the dominant personality ... he's the one who dicated exactly when and exactly where the staredown part was going to take place. He steps up and points to the spot and Manny complies.

    I noticed too, which mad me happy. For the past two times, he would kinda look at his advisor or Ellebre as to when to do it. Here, he told his advisor to go tell him to come over and then when Manny started coming, he pointed to the lines on the stage. At least he showed some kind of authority. It didn't appear Manny reacted in any way. Just chill and smiling.
