Anyway I can't wait for tonight.
Good - I got tired of seeing just pieces and bits from the fights. This time we'll see the whole things. They just keep getting better - which is good - cause it shows growth. ESPN and Sugar Ray, plus his Contender Team are donig a pretty good job with this - since taking it from Sly and them.
