    Now we know 1 way a boxer can forgo the 10 count of honor.

    i think theyll talk about it but wont honour it (with a highlight reel etc). Things could change yet though we could have facts of what happened by the end of the week (although i fail to see how it could reprieve Valero at all)
    Maybe the guy had brain damage of his motorcycle accident - something must have been up cause no American promotions would let him fight after he had been scanned

    It would be inappropriate.

    I don't think so considering the tragic turn of events that lead to his death. I wouldn't be surprised if they did mention it, but honoring him with a moment of silence or memorial highlight video? I think HBO would prefer to distance themselves from anything concerning Valero.

    If HBO has any class at all, which they don't, they won't even mention it.

    Nah, that Lightweight Lightning PPV was a Golden Boy PPV. That's why the fights were being called by Barry Tompkins, Doug Fischer, and B-Hop and had such shitty production. :lol:

    I doubt HBO will even mention it consider Valero has never been on their network. I do think Showtime will at least have something to say about it this weekend considering Valero headlined one of their shows just under 3 months ago.

    It would be much safer if they don't.

    Why would HBO honor a punk and druggie who does not meet any standard of human normal behaviour?They have class.

    I laugh so hard everytime I read one of your posts badmouthing Valero when I look at your avatar. Che Guevara makes Valero look like a saint. :?

    I think that a stonewalling is likely or they may touch on it breifly in a news story type of way but I can't see it being a memorial of any sort.

    :lol:

    It definitely isn't something they should be addressing and bringing light to, not exactly positive press for the sport.

    They may not. Boxrec didn't even put his name at the top of their page.
