    Congratulations Noe’s hold WBO, WBC and Ring Magazine belts plus a new fiancée as his girlfriend just accepted his proposal in the ring. Very romantic.

    What excuse could he give, that he didn't drink his magic tea?

    Right because we know how ‘chinney’ Valdez is. Oh wait, no he isn’t!

    Don't get what the whole he didn't hurt him. Well you don't have to hurt a fighter to win the fight. You just have to land punches

    This was indeed the best version of Valdez, but it just wasn't enough against Shakur.

    That’s a bit harsh after witnessing his consummate boxing performance.

    Tank is not better for the sport and I love watching him. Shakur actually wants to clean out the division meanwhile Tank spent way too much time hiding in Mayweather’s ass

    Great performance by Shakur but what a crap game plan by Valdez and his corner. You never try to just outbox the better boxer. Valdez did have success on the inside when he went there. Just didn’t go there as much as needed. However, Shakur had great punch placement to the body to nullify that at times.

    Wasn't Broner's proposal a prank?

    Stevenson turning the post-fight interview to slush was unexpected, but he can do what he likes with it after a very solid performance. I want to see him extended more than Oscar was ever liable to extend him, but I like watching Stevenson box.
