    Almost as if they were two different sports.

    140 went from having one of the best pools of boxers to a mediocre pool in one night.

    Lopez rose to the top of that cream of the crop. Haney looked like ****. Garcia flat out lost. Barboza wouldn't throw a punch.

    Yeah it was combined with a lack of drugs. He looked 20lbs lighter.

    God we went from the may pac era followed by Spence, bud and company to this. I am convinced all the fighters tonight hate boxing. Teo wants to be a motivational speaker.

    Rolly was definitely on juice tonight as well. He’s clearly put on pounds and pounds of solid muscle. Just doesn’t happen naturally especially if you’re doing all that cardio.

    I feel like Garcia just wanted a pay day, that's it. He doesn't want to be in a boxer anymore. He probably doesn't like the training. He just want to enjoy life and battle it out on Twitter.

    Let's be honest these were meant to be tune in up fights .. in the past before Turki these types of tune ups would be in smaller shows not times square NY .. it's a shame Turki should of used this spot for the actual Garcia Vs Haney ll .. this was a waste ..

    Garcia the only one who didn't read the script.. should of taken a easier come back fight just like Haney did ..

    Maybe right. All these guys have threatened retirement at one point. Even Tank. I guess growing old with brain damage doesn't have the same appeal.

    He's only a big star if he fights like a big star. He fought like an inactive, limited nobody and that's how he should be treated until he proves ottherwise.

    Nice try at re-writing history. :lol:

    Rolly was considered by far and away the least likely to pull the upset out of the three opponents this evening. Garcia was expected to knock him out and to do it relatively quickly. It was Romero who didn't read the script, not Ryan.
