    If that's a sign of brain damage, I'm technically retarded. He was able to push through it with ease. Also, he was a great fighter and I don't think he ever got his face smashed in like tons of other fighters. He is actually one of my favorites.

      I always find it hilarious when people say stupid shit like that. No, motherfucker, he didn't do it to entertain you, he did it to make a shitload of money. He would've done it with or without you watching. You were just lucky enough to be there to witness the process and be entertained by it.

      @@TheMrRoberttotally agree! Comments and reactions like this help to restore my faith in people a great deal.👌 i know trolls exist online saying negative stuff for their own sick fun or just to get a reaction from someone else . I dont get it and i cant relate and sometimes its hard to tell from comments alone if its a real person or just a troll trying to trigger somebody for fun (or whatever their reasons).
      look at the replies on this original comment. As SOON as someone in the comments section said something nice some di**head HAD to comment calling the guy a “milkdud head”clearly just to be a d**k and try to negate the niceness they detected from the original comment but its one of the clearest signs of troll behaviour ( or whatever you want to call it) that its also good to see an example of it so very clearly on a vid thats so short and had no controversy. It helps me see and remember that not all awful comments and responses you read are as much of an indication of how awful people can treat one another and the human race as a whole can be so inconsiderate to each other so long as we have the protection of a screen… sometimes its just a troll trying to start to trigger people online for their own dumb fun. These people still suck but its nice to see so clearly that a lot of the time its just immature trolls behind the screens (usually masking their trolliness better than this person, to be fair) and not cruel heartless people with no compassion or understanding at all. The former option is not great but it makes me feel better that assuming the latter option is the case. Thats the world has gone to shit. Spend An hour on youtube comments or a musicians instagram and it can really chip away at your outlook of people. It can make you question “is this how people really act and think ?” I know its the internet but seeing a dumb comment posted as a reply as soon as a nice comment was posted helps me remember and assess that , its not always awful people in the world typing or that civility it all but gone … most of the time its prob just
      Some d**kh**d acting like a fool for whatever reason. Be it Boredom or because its so easy to do or maybe it’s an outlet for their own grief . The “milk dud” comment shows how some people just get kicks and thrills (i assume) by acting the tool behind a keyboard. I like to think that anyways, as opposed to believing all the shit talk and anger and everything else that goes on in comment sections and the likes, is an indication of the human race just going to shit fast. that its mostly just some sorry souls acting up for whatever reason. Some of them are probably normal enough people day to day and just act rotten when it comes to the internet. Suffering some strange complex that maybe even they don’t understand ?
      Its got to be that right ? Or does this guy genuinely feel the need to mention and or is so upset that they felt the need to stop and type an insult that we just NEEDED to read about the guy in this video? Perhaps he wanted to spark up a mannerly debate on the matter and just couldn’t find the correct way to convey it ? 🤣

    What? This has to be a joke. He’s cogent, lucid, well-spoken and articulate. He sounds like a Ph.D next to Thomas Hearns or even Teddy Atlas. Jesus buddy! He might have been a little new to announcing or nervous but definitely not impaired or “punchy”. Damn dog….

  • @DrugzMunny

    I think that he started out beginning to imply that Mosley was an underdog, and then decided to switch gears and put the fighters on an equal level. He was gonna do something like "Shane Mosley knows how important this fight is. This is a real big opportunity for him." And then thought he would be selling it better if he didn't imply that there was a clear favorite.
