Yeah I'll be there, wouldn't miss it for anything. Be getting there early and hanging out with Ernie and company before the fights and maybe afterwards.
I think Oscar had a lot left and would've beat just about anybody on that day. Manny even with his size is a lot harder to figure out than he looks. Floyd even being away is a whole nother animal. One of the most intelligent and disciplined fighters to ever lace up the gloves. He never gets rattled and sticks to the game plan. You have to outsnart and outwork him to beat him
I see him beating Hatton easy. I would like to see him stay away from Floyd though. Styles makes fights and I dont think that would be a good one for him
I'm gonna be honest, I didnt expect that one either lol. I knew he would win but I didnt think that easily. He worked hard and had to go through a tough camp. He deserves it. Thanks too I was just glad to be a big part of it
