    Just not good enough. Benavidez is fighting at his natural weight class for once against another guy who fought below his natural weight for years as well. Opetaia is just better. There's levels to boxing.

    Opetaia KOs Benavidez. I guarantee you Benavidez is not going to unify, he will move back down

    Not a great fight. The ref really I think ruined it a lot from what it coulda been as neither guy was going anything really wrong. Even the low blows Jai was pulling Glanton down.

    No I was referring to the celebrity and other insider guests that the cameras panned to.

    "Anytime you watch a fighter you ask yourself do I wanna watch him again?''

    Yeah Kellerman sucks, always has. I couldn't stand him from the moment ESPN plucked him from cable access obscurity 30 years ago to replace one of the truly great boxing commentators, Al Bernstein

    Jesus, this broadcast sure has a lot of announcers.

    Tarver, Kriegel, Coppinger, that chick, Kellerman, Ward, and Tessitore. That's a lot of extra people.

    Howard Cosell used to interview the boxers pre-fight, call fights by himself, and get in the ring after the fight to interview the winner.

    I think Tessitore is probably the only one who could handle the job himself. He's an actual broadcaster. None of the others could do a whole show alone.

    He was walking him down the whole fight, and they spent a large part of the fight fighting on the inside, because Jai could not keep him off him. The fact you are even disputing this is hilarious.

    White just commented on that : "We paid the sanctioning fees and I see law suits coming, that's what I see."

    At least he was being consistent when he got pissed at the ref for docking points for holding. The dirty piece of ****!:lol:
