    Yet they bashed and ridiculed Dmitry Mikhaylenko for a dominating the rounds for a 10 round UD against Karim Mayfield, an elusive opponent who had never been stopped.

    I wonder why? :huh

    They praise and hype the boring prima donna Ward for some reason, why do you think they do this?

    So I'm not the only one who thought those rounds were paper thin?

    This is one of the main flaws of the HBO team. When they expect someone to win and view him as a considerably better fighter than the opponent they will interpret the fight as a dominant performance regardless of what actually happened.

    The whole time I was thinking "are these guys watching the same thing I'm watching???"

    I thought Ward looked completely pedestrian and if he shows up like this against Sergei he might get starched.

    The cheerleading has always been hard to take, last night it was borderline deplorable, the same applies to their asskissing of GGG.

    Commentate don't gush, Diaz shut out Velez, who isn't easy to look great against, same applies to Mikhaylenko against Mayfield, I've yet to see anyone beat Karim as comprehensively, it only serves to make them look hypocritical.
