    What train lol. No one was overrating the guy. We knew he was flawed, but his power is 1 punch ko power. His boxing IQ is obviously low a guy like Robert Garcia would do wonders for him.

    That fight was bittersweet, if it was up to me, I would not have pushed Smith this fast. Folks don't respect the development pros have to go through and this is what happens.

    To repeat: it was a scheduled 10 rounder, HBO just got it wrong.

    It wasn't changed during the fight and the decision was mutual between the promoters. Considering the promoters are the ones who write the contracts up why does it matter?

    Corrales is a very good boxer. I haven't seen him in a good minute.

    I'm sure it is and has been in some ways (although it's not a conspiracy every time a close fight goes to the guy who has less internet fans) ... but changing the length of the fight after the first bell? In a (admittedly minor) title fight?

    My question is how the commission allows it. Can they change the weight limit, too? Make the rounds 2 minutes starting in round eight?
