I don't think I've seen him throw a punch that had KO potential in 5 years, but they keep scoring rounds for him because he does...something. He is a master of ring generalship. He takes away his opponent's best weapons, then systematically punishes them. He doesn't have one hit KO power, but he still busts his opponents faces up. If he wasn't hurting his opponents with his punches, they would simply walk through his punches and not give a fuck. See someone like Paulie Malignaggi. Paulie has excellent boxing skills but he really has no power and you can see it in the way opponents just don't respect his punches. | ||

Main event up next, should be a good one. Hoping for a Canelo ko, but it won't happen... just hoping for a unanimous decision win.. split decision might make things weird. | ||

Matthysse had a great showing though and his corner did great work keeping him in the fight with that swollen eye. Now we're onto the main event. He is a master of ring generalship. He takes away his opponent's best weapons, then systematically punishes them. He doesn't have one hit KO power, but he still busts his opponents faces up.

But he has won a lot of fights that I thought he lost. | ||

Maybe Acer can turn Innovation into a cocky showman Mayweather has mellowed out in recent years. Adrien Broner is fulfilling that role now. | ||

I didn't see the crowd shots, but I heard his name so you've probably got the right guy. That is unless Denzel recently had a makeover. Edit: Lil Wayne again, Floyd?  | ||

This with Bieber is too much. EDIT: If Floyd Mayweather isn't broke by the time he's 55, I'll be stunned. | ||
