I agree with all of the above; watched the session 3x. What I must also consider is the following: fighting in Cali, at home; Freddie Roach training; daddy Chavez involved; and last but maybe MOST important Bob "the con artist/bullshit artist" Arum is behind Chavez. I don't see anyone being put to sleep here=go to the scorecards. Can Zbik get a fair shake in this one? I've seen Chavez fight live and I have never been impressed with his skill set. This one stinks like the Fulton fish market on Monday morning.

Interesting observation. No question he looks stronger than in the Green and even Cloud fights. Johnson is a true professional, and seems to have settled into the weight in the proper way.
We knew Johnson would give himself his best possible chance to win.

Chavez-Zbik presser
Chavez-Zbik presser
Top Rank just finished streaming the presser for Chavez-Zbik.
Notes:
Mia St. John showed up and started screaming at Christy Martin. Not sure what the hell the beef is about.
Martin's opponent is like twice her size. Big oafie girl.
Arum stated that the Mikey Garcia bout will still air on TV. HBO has given the green light on the opponent change. I'm happy for Garcia - he deserves TV time.
But unfortunately, a good scrap between Vanes Martirosyan and Saul Roman is OFF TV (as far I can tell).
Chavez stated this was his best camp ever. You train like a champ, you become a champ. Or something to that effect.
Zbik took the podium and, suprisingly, spoke clear English. He thanked his supporters (30 people have flown with him to cheer on the night), and he said he hopes for a great fight. He spoke confidently, but with few words.
If Chavez wins, he becomes the 1st Mexican to win a middleweight title. Zbik would be 1st German to win a title fight in U.S. since Max Schmeling.

Thought I heard 10 somewhere. Not certain, though. Maybe Showtime has the proper distance?

http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=39828
A couple things come to mind reading this article:
1. Damn, Showtime has done an amazing job with Fight Camp 360. Those are some powerful microphones ringside. They pick up EVERYTHING. Can't wait to see this episode.
2. I am going to bill this mother f'er Nazeem Richardson for my gambling losses. Under 11.5 cost me a shitload that weekend.
"This Saturday night courtesy of Showtime Fight Camp 360 microphones, specifically a lavaliere mike worn by Mosely?s esteemed trainer Naazim Richardson, you?ll learn as will the entire world that either before or after the tenth round, Mosley actually begged his corner to halt the brutal mismatch.
?Shane wanted the fight stopped, he said it in the corner,? this veteran TV man said. ?Shane said he had bad blisters on his foot and wanted the bout to end.
?But Richardson wouldn?t hear of it, refusing to comply with his fighter?s request to quit on the stool. Naazim said something like, ?No, no, you are not cut from that cloth.? Richardson refused to call the ref or the doctor in to tell them his man had enough.?

curious about 5 dimes posting an over 9.5 instead of the obligatory 11.5 for froch/johnson.......even in the -300 and change range, this looks like a primo parlay stuffer....
i only use a few books so maybe others that i`m not aware of are posting 9.5`s....but given the durability of froch and johnson,i`m surprised that o/u 9.5 was even an option.....
:shrug:

Nazeem Richardson - what was the point of pushing him back out there?
What an asshole. Scrambled a few more of Shane's brain cells.
Ego-driven trainer. Disgusting. Put himself before his fighter.

12 rounds, Evan
12 rounds, Evan
Showtime's press release gives the distance as 12 rounds. Below is an extract from the press release:
"The 12-rounder between Kessler (43-2, 32 KOs), of Denmark, and Bouadla (23-3, 11 KOs), of France, will be shown before the LIVE Super Six World Boxing Classic Semifinal on SHOWTIME (delayed on the West Coast) between defending WBC titlist Carl Froch (27-1, 20 KOs) and former world champion Glen Johnson (51-14-2, 35 KOs) of Miami, Fla., at Adrian Philipps Ballroom of Atlantic City?s Boardwalk Hall."

wtf is arum and his christy martin redux :facepalm:
didn't she already lose the fight vs her husband
:facepalm:
sorry that was in bad taste :mj07:
Line I seen in Nevada is 11.5 over-180. I too cannot see 9.5, and agree a parlay ingredient makes sense.
Wow, I couldn't quite catch that anguish on the telecast. Naaz took the KO prop away from everyone. Gee willikers!
