Berto is a moron. HBO needs to refuse to show him and then he would have to retire as no one else is going to pay him more than 150,000 to get into the ring (150,000 would be an insult in his mind!!!).

haha youre right, I made a mistake saying "low pay" in my question. Maybe Low Pay to him and Al Haymon. Say what you may, but Haymon is in it for himself, not his fighters. Hes taking a good cut in those big fights even if his stable of fighters dont fight much (inactivity is ruining his fighters). Al Haymon seems to have full control over these fighters careers, their just puppets and hes controlling who fights who. It seems all of his fighters are always well paid to take on low risks fighters, they rarely ever take on a dangerous guy and when they do they drag their feet (Flomo-SSM and PW-SM II).

Speaking of Berto, he did turn down the low pay for that Madatory of his on HBO right on that Marquez card?

Dan said it was still under discussion.

Team Berto (my bad Team Haymon) is probably trying to squeeze a few more Gs from HBO because they know HBO wont budge much from their offer to have Berto on TV

Said very well. Haymon is harming the long-term development of his fighters. He does make them alot of money. As a fighter you need to be concerned with the sport side and the business side, but his fighters only care about the business side it seems.

is Sexton the guy who retired the cabdriver guy?

Yes it's going strong at the moment, the recent run of big names and Olympic medal winners have boosted the sport alot.

compare that to US olympic fighters

Sexton and Chisora could both loose a little weight. Better shape and they could work at a faster pace.

Yes, but Rogan was very close to stopping Sexton the first time they fought.

hahah we've found Wlad's December opponent, Martin Rogan

They said Sexton had a sixteen week training camp. Looks like a lot of it was spent doing arts and crafts and singing songs by the fire.

Chisora is going to stop Sexton later in the fight.

Chisora needs to invest in body work

No that was just Johnny Nelson dreaming about invisible fights.

Phew. Thankee.

Is that Lopez crushing Zarzoga ?

This fight is ok. Kind of a Rocky Balboa and Spider Rico for the 21st century.

Chisora's bodywork, and his right hand will spend the end for Sexton around round 8. That right hand, which is looped to the right, is perfect for going around the high guard of Sexton and tagging the ear.

No, that's Alexis spinning off the ropes, slipping left, slipping right and then bombing out Kevin Rooney.

darn it, my link said it will be back in 2 mins

Don't worry Ali. Whenever I see an ugly person with a receding hairline, I think Zaragoza.

I love the guy, but one could build a pretty good horror series around him as the creepy evil guy couldn't they?
