Jonny Nelson looks thin in the neck, like he's not been in the gym. What's the scoop there?

Real Deal, Yeah I've noticed the round cutting on recent PPV encores aswell. Its a good policy, if you not prepared to buy the fight you shouldn't get all the rounds for free after - I always felt a bit cheated when I bought a PPV and it was on TV complete 3 days later.

The First PPV I didn't buy was Hamed vs Calvo (which was rediculous, paying for an IBO title fight!). I was looking forward to the encore presentation of Tackie vs Tszyu, they bloody butchered it, you live by your mistakes though.

Did the encore presentation of Sanders vs Klitchko show Navarro's fight.

to be honest i was glad i didn't have to sit through all of that Hopkins fight again.

they showed all of the Oscar fight though. If they missed a round i didn't notice.

yeah u were done a favour there. hopkins was just circling and not punching in some of the rds, really boring action.

i thought sturm won by 1 pt but i still stand by the fact that it was very close and could have gone either way.

I didn't buy the PPV last week and don't regret it one bit. Watched a bit of the Hopkins fight this morning, hah you could've cut as many rounds as you like off that one. Saw a bit of DLH who looked small and faded, he's in trouble against Hopkins no doubt.

Agree with every word you say.

I didnt buy, as i felt the fights did not warrant PPV.

DLH looked like the before guy in the old Charles Atlas Adverts. He also looked so easy to hit and had nothing on his punches.

DLH has no business at 160.

I believe Johnny Nelson is never out of the gym.
