    That's it...that's your tribute to Manny Steward? I pray that they intend to do something more during their next WCB broadcast, if not that **** was disgusting. Not even a customary bell ringing salute?

    Bob Poppa said some kind words, that's it. No video, no bell salute, no reference to it by Max or Roy Jones...very modest tribute. Not to take anything away from the remarks from Bob.

    I mean they did more for Tapia (RIP), no disrespect to Tapia. I mean this is Manny ****ing Steward. When is the next WCB card?

    The next WCB card isn't for at least 3 weeks, the tribute should have been tonight and if that was it then that is truly disgusting.

    Wow...that's some ****ed up ****. Honestly that was one of the main reasons I tuned in, I wanted to enjoy a legitimate tribute, to one of the greatest ambassadors the sport has ever known. Surely they will do more...I mean surely.

    The next WCB is Broner on 17th November. So yeah almost a month after his death, it would seem a bit late IMO if it were to be then. But hopefully they do something for it on that card otherwise that's just horrible man.

    Absolutely agree...**** remember what they did for Nick Charles, who deserved every single thing they did, but again this Emanuel Steward?

    We don't know why Manny's wishes were. He had been sick for a while Abd hadn't gone public because he did not want the attention. Who knows

    They better, because if they don't, it will be a complete disgrace that is worthy of making a few phone calls to HBO about.

    Give them time. They'll have a proper tribute or documentary of some sort for him.

    Yeah that's just too long, I mean they could have gotten Jim, Harold, Larry to tape something if they couldn't be there, but if that was it...it was complete ****, bordering on offensive.
