    The word ''EXPOSED'' should definitely be blacked out.

    I remember the comments..... JMM exposed Pacquiao, Mayweather exposed Hatton etc :-(

    "Styles make fights"

    I swear I've heard DLH and Booth say that a million times in the last month. It's permanently ingrained in my mind now.

    Yes this myth is ridiculous and has somehow made it's way to the commentary teams, really a complete fallacy.

    Speed kills is true though. :deal

    Some of the "clever" nicknames sound like they've been thought up by a group of 6 year olds.

    Only true in the sense that a draw means the champ retains his title.

    Styles make fights is annoying. It's like trying to sound enlightened without actually having to make any analysis whatsoever.
