[The Can Opener]

Who decided on the catch-weight of 144? Never heard of that weight before.

Not sure, but I'm assuming Broner. I'm not sure he can legit make 140 without being near-death as he is getting older, now. You've seen his father, right? Not that it means everything, but the guy is like 5'4" 400 pounds.

 

[ctrlaltdelete]

So the 69 tamagachi beef with broner was fake?

I'm not surprised.

 

[RR]

Lol Paulie is getting fat. Petey ain't keeping him away from the pasta

 

[nac386]

Davis needs a big performance here or I can honestly say I'll never want to watch him fight again. He was just abysmal last time I saw him, really embarrassing performance.

For the Garcia fight Broner said he made 140 easy because it was the first time he ever ate healthy and he supposedly was walking around in the low 140's for a couple weeks. Who knows though.

 

[PHATV]

My sound is a bit sketchy so far on Spectrum Showtime. Anybody else?

 

[Alanf7]

Anyone can pm me a stream? Really want to see the Davis fight.

he was also trained in colorado for that fight and never claimed injury

unless he had an off night, that is probably the best adrain broner that we will ever see.

I only watch Davis hoping he gets knocked out.

 

[CatchnShoot]

Davis coming right up

This gun be good.

He was down pretty low early for that one, but REALLY worked at it for a while, I think. Like a longer-than-normal cut process. I don't know for sure. It may just be lack of discipline, but he's obviously a different animal at 140. Or was, anyway.

 

[nac386]

Lol, this Tank Davis & Broner training together montage is cracking me up. Two of the biggest boneheads in all of boxing pretending like they are super dedicated. I'd say they both need to stay away from each other.

 

[BillytheFish]

Liking this showtime free trial with these 3 fights tonight BOOM.

 

[BillytheFish]

the fuck is davis wearing

 

[Seano]

this fight should tell us a lot about Davis. Pretty interested in this fight. Never thought much of Cuellar but Davis doesn't seem special either.

Davis seems like a less-talented version of Broner to me (personality wise, not style). I was talking about that with JayE, and he disagreed and thought Davis was more talented. I honestly haven't seen it so far.
