Ha! You know it’s bad when you have to use Mickey Rourke as a human shield so you can avoid being hit by what the fans are throwing.
Julio Chavez Jr. is lucky he made it out of that arena in one piece. Then again, he still has to face the wrath of Chavez Sr., so nothing’s guaranteed.
Congratulations to Danny Jacobs, a class act all the way.

I don’t know who’s worse Sr or Jr unbelievable
Chavez Sr has disowned his son.
Anyone knows if his hand was broken?
Hey Mattsnow,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you too.
Haven’t see you for long. Hopefully, in the new year, we would enjoy your comments more often.
Merry Christmas, Tango!
Thank you Arjay
I’ll be on here more often. I kinda lost interest after Stevenson got ĸød in Quebec city and plunged in a coma. I was there. He gave an interview recently, he’s doing better :) I used to hate him lol
Mattsnow: It is nice to heard that Stevenson is doing well. Man this is a very though sport and all these boxer have all my respect for what they do and the risk all them take. Honestly, they should be head covered to avoid concussions using the same protection they use during sparring sessions. It made not show well but safe is paramount. Keep your promise show here more often:-)
Merry Christmas, Matt!
