Boxing night was last night on HBO and I was watching the football game so I recorded and am watching this morning. First they showed highlights of the much ballyhooed (isn't that a great word?) Mayweather/ Marquez fight. Hardly much of a fight...Mayweather fought not to lose and didn't lose so mission accomplished. He's not a hungry fiighter. He's a complacent fighter that no one has knocked senseless yet. Certainly not PPV price worthy.
The live fight is Chris Arrieola and Vitali Klitchcko, heavyweights. Klitchcko is 6'7" and Arrieola is 6' 4", both right at 25o, big boys. My favorites. I'm rooting for Arrieola, an American and an underdog. I don't think he has much of a chance but we'll see. Klicthcko looks big and mean. Arrieola will need a KO to win.
I wonder how much the "Let's get ready to rumble." gets paid for his 5 minute a week show.
And I love the announcers. Old time trainers and boxing fans, not professionally trained announcers, all cleaned up and put in bow ties. Boxing smart and fun to listen to.
It's round 8 of 12 and Klitchsko is swatting a fly. I'd love Arrieola to get a lucky punch and prove that the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Dang...Arriola's corner threw in the towel...good call. Arriola is crying and it's sad. He fought his heart out and can hold his head up high. We'll see him again. He probably does not to use the "F" bomb in his post fight interview. His little girl is in the audience.
And the announcer said the referee called the fight.
Klitchsko was gracious in his post fight interview.
Way better than Mayweather/Marquez.
