    When AA had the Flu...that was a beautiful excuss for "I can't make the weight this week...just give me a week or so k." Loved that.:patsch

    This on the other hand is I need more time to grow a pair just...why don't you give me an extra month while my coaches try to conivince me I can do it.

    Not to me. I think it's very intriguing. I think it could be a complete borefest, so I don't mean exciting, just intriguing. Could be a very strange outcome from the clash of styles. I'm betting on Kessler/Froch to be the most fan friendly this round.

    Dirrell injured his back while practicing "falling down on canvas" during sparring.

    We all saw the photo of AA with the thermometer stuck in his mouth. What more could you possibly want? OK. The OTHER thermometer. :D

    Dirrell should quit falling down on canvas. Dirrell is trying to get Abraham off his schedule.

    Really seems to be little enforcement. By the time you go to court, it just isn't worth trying to recoup your loses for breach.

    Last I knew, Wald has never seen ANY evidence of the Haye injury and that was according to CHEF who is in a position to know.

    Haye never gave any evidence of injury contrary to what he had promised and that is a fact.

    This tournament seemed so great when it was announced 8 months ago... And now it has fallen apart after the very first stage.

    Kessler-Froch is on that very same night.

    They could realistically make it a triple-header, but I don't think that would be profitable for Showtime.

    Bute has a contract with HBO now. I thought the entire world was aware of that at this point.

    Honestly, they could kick out Dirrell and replace him with another American, but who? Peter Quillin is the only name that comes to mind right now. He's 26 years old, is undefeated, and has wins over Antwun Echols and Fernando Zuniga.
