5-2 Willie Nelson. He's been rocked noticeably in the 3rd and 7th. but controlled the other rounds.

68-65 Nelson. Gonna be an interesting finish.

just tuned in. Damn this Willie Nelson guy does remind me of Paul the Punisher!

88-83 Nelson.

Ohio people...

Max said he reminded him of the late great Emanuel Steward the way he was in the corner.

Only early in the fight when he was being calm and effective, Max specifically pointed out that he thought Loew was freaking out too much after the 7th.

Manny was one of a kind.

No doubt about that!

A lot of the time when i hear trainers talking, I think Wtf are you on about and they genuinely seem somewhat clueless! With Manny i used to listen to his commentary and see him in interviews and agreed with the vast majority he said.

Easy fight to score.

97-93 Nelson

97-93 Nelson. Nelson survived 3 scary moments. I expect he'll take a close unanimous decision.

My prediction 97-93 2x
96-94 once

I thought that too; very similar faces.

Scoring:
97-93 xx2
96-94
Nelson UD

All during this fight I kept getting flashbacks to 8 Mile where one of the guys Em is battling says "this aint Willie Nelson music".....

Why this fight was on HBO, I have no idea. Willie Nelson is horrible.

Good call.

Nelson wins by Decision... his lack of control of the distance was clearly problematic in this one. I knew Cuello was a good grinder/body puncher but thought he lacked the stamina to make the fight decisively in his favor.

It's because Manny treated every single person with respect and care. He cared about a person's feelings, especially if it's a guy fighting for his life in the ring. He understood how people's minds worked.[/quote]

He was great at analysing fights aswell.

Oosthuizen/Gonzales next.

Yes, of course. A true student of the game. He really loved boxing and boxers, and you could tell.

Well with some trainers they dont seem good at analysing how a fight is going or a fighters strengths and weaknesses which seems crazy to me considering they're training fighters.
