I agree with you but on the other hand HBO is trying to do what they haven't done in a while...trying to build a fighter up some notoriety and give them some exposre..but then that's only 2 fights with geale-barker..they said its a triplelheader...whats the 3rd fight?

Not sure they have one yet.

I do know Paul Spadafora, who's fought for HBO in the past, was scheduled to face Thomas Dulorme, but declined. It was gonna be on HBO Latino, which tells me it would've been televised, but I guess not a part of the main triple header...$$$ was probably low.

At this time, no idea what HBO is planning for the 3rd fight, line-up is kinda weak as of right now, Geale-Barker is a decent fight taking nothing away from either guy but they need a Donaire-Rigo 2, Donaire-126 opponent or Rigo-Darchinyan fight made soon. That's a headliner, not Geale-Barker.

I'd also like to say that's the problem with HBO "build-a-fighter" system. Nobody wants to see these guys take on jobbers then get exposed when they face a real fighter, especially when your competition, Showtime, does it better. They'd (ST) rather put two undefeated guys together, or just two rising prospects, and roll with the winner, a "weeding out" process if you will. HBO is too arrogant for their own good and refuse to compromise for the good of the sport and/or their fans. In HBO's eyes, KO's over everything regardless if it's 82-0 with 80 kos against a 15-12 guy who's been stopped 12 times, they just wanna showcase.

An outside observer sees this and goes :shaq2: and boxing fans already scoff at the nonsense, but again, HBO is set in its egotistical ways.

Man, I am tired of everyone throwing around the words "cleaned out their division". There are too many great fighters in the 140 division right now, and the top 2 are Garcia and Matthysse. Until these two get in the ring and settle things, nothing is 'cleaned out' there.

Also, there are great fighters like Judah, Rios, Alvarado, and (lesser extent) Alexander, and Peterson. This is the best division in boxing right now.

Basically, I am tired in general of cats coming up with excuses. This goes for all top fighters- Mayweather, Pacquiao, Lucas, D. Garcia, etc. These cats need (or needed) to take these tests, sign these contracts, and get in the ring to give us true fight fans what we want to see.

"cleaning out a division" today doesnt mean the same as it did back just a few years ago even. certainly not what it meant in the 80's-90's. to clean out a division usually took about 6-8 fights over a course of 3 years....today people consider someone as cleaning out a division for only half that amount of time and fights.

Danny Garcia aint cleaned out 140. To clean out means you have to "get rid of". Broner aint cleaned out 135 either. Aint been there long enough. Cleaning usually means you become the champion and defend at least a 1/2 dozen times. You dont win 2 or 3 fights and say you cleaned out everybody. Even Andre Ward. I know people say he has cleaned out 168...but not really. Beating Froch one time doesnt do it.....because Froch has been doing his own cleaning. Ward needs to get rid of Froch once and for all and that means he needs to beat him again to leave no doubt about his supremacy. Since he never fought Bute and Froch got to him first.

What should I do?

Website?? I don't know how to make a website, is it difficult?

I'd love to write about boxing, wish I could get my foot in the door, I'ma try and contact Dan Raf about it, he's in VA like me, let's see what he has to say...

No, not hard at all to do a website...I was a certified webmaster. I used to have my own boxing dvd website years ago. A boxing commentary website is different however and if you strive for perfection and high quality as I do....it is a full time job. (The reason why I havent done one yet.)

You can start off with a blog. Making some of your own original articles. I enjoy coming here and writing because it keeps me sharp...not to mention print journalism was my major.

If you have the time to dedicate to it then can do it though if you want to....absolutely. You da Gawd here and you know we will all support you in whatever you come thru with.

:salute:

Watching Broner-Malinaggi again. For the people who say that it wasnt a close fight I disagree. I disagree with Teddy Atlas to a degree. Paulie lost the fight I thought when I watched it the first time but I thought it was close. Not 117-111. Teddy say that score was reflective of the fight.

Someone posted the vid of Jack Mosley and he said he thought Paulie won. His reasoning was because of points....being that neither really hurt each other. You have to understand what Jack was saying there.

This is why some people say that LM was robbed against Alexander...I dont believe he was. If one fighter is busier and you are scoring by round...it depends on how the punches were spread through out the rounds.

In other words...the rounds Alexander won...they were close. The rounds LM won, he won big. The same thing happened in the Broner fight. Paulie won some early rounds off activity. I know a lot of his punches were on the arms and stuff but a lot of them landed cleanly to the body and head. Broner was throwing some pitty pat shyt too when he had a hard time cutting the ring off...he only sat down on his punches when Paulie stood still for a moment.

If you break down LM-Alexander...Alexander was outlanding him in the rounds he apparently won...even though slightly outlanding. The rounds LM won...he dominated and outlanded by a decent margin. At the end of the fight it looks even in punches but it depends on how the punches are grouped by round.

Fighter A can land 10 punches per round for 12 rounds...thats 120 punches. Fighter B can land 4 punches per round for the first 8 rounds and 22 punches for the last 4 rounds. If those 4 rounds are scored 10-9 then fighter B loses.....even though they landed the same amount of punches in the end. (If anyone wants me to break down the punchstat numbers in the LM-Alexander fight I will be glad to do so)

Broner won his rounds big and he got the benefit in some of the swing rounds because his punches were harder. I thought Broner pulled it out. 115-113 was what I had it...I could maybe see 116-112. 117-111 I cant see at all because Paulie won at least 4 rounds.

Again, its not how big you win the rounds necessarily unless they are 10-8 or 10-7 rounds. Its how many rounds you win.
