    Bit of trivia.

    Broner weighed more when he was fighting the likes of Gavin Rees down at 135 than Manny weighed tonight and he was only 2lbs lighter than what Manny weighed tonight when he missed weight by 3lbs in a scheduled super-featherweight bout against Escobedo.

    Personally I don't think Horn was intentionally fighting dirty, he was just going all out, and realized this was his big chance and seized the moment, in a big way. Most of his fights aren't remotely dirty. Also, like I said, they're both awkward as hell, so when two awkward guys come together, sometimes that's a nightmare scenario in terms of unintentional fouls and injuries to occur.

    How did Rey Pérez look against George Kambosos, Jr.? I see it was a shutout, were the rounds competitive?

    Manny 5′ 5½″ with a 67″ reach, giant boulder sized noggin and weighs about 149-150 in the ring

    Mikey 5′ 6″ with a 68″ reach, giant boulder sized noggin and weighs about 149-150 in the ring

    It was at least 7lbs going by my research on Linares' previous fight night weights, and 7lbs is the number I go with.

    Vic Conte says Mikey is probably going to come in about 155 and that's the target weight they have in mind. Spence weighed 162 against Phil Lo Greco but that was a catchweight bout at 150. I think Spence will be 160 max but if he comes in the same as he did for his last fight and Mikey comes in at 155 there will only be 1lb separating them which would be amusing lol

    So I picked Broner. I was thinking that maybe just for once Broner would step his game up against old man Pac. Bet $100 on it, but deep down inside, I knew that it would be far more likely that Broner would be Broner rather than Pac’s age being a factor in the fight. I.e., I knew Broner was going to lose, yet I made a bold prediction he wouldn’t, and put a bill on it. Why? I don’t F’in know. He’s a bum. A loser. Broner is almost a caricature of the arrogant but insecure bully stereotypes. I had mad respect for Broner after he stood his ground vs Maidana, despite getting the breaks beat off him for most of the fight, but seriously...F AB. He’s a clown. He’s going to be one of those broke, punchy boxers walking around aimlessly in his hometown in 10 years. Or he’ll be in prison. Or dead. Smh.

    I wanna shake my head at Broner. Anyone familiar with that? Y’know, when you show your disgust and disappointment with someone by looking at them and just shaking your head? It’s the ultimate show of just washing your hands of someone. That’s what I want to do to AB.

    Were you on shrooms? There's no way Spence is under 160.

    :lol:
